WHAT IS A COSMETIC DENTISTRY?
Cosmetic Dentistry is more popular than ever, from whitening and shaping
to closing spaces and replacing teeth. And dentists have a wide array of tools
and techniques at their disposal for improving the look of your smile.
If your teeth are stained, discolored, worn, chipped, broken, misaligned,
misshapen, or have gaps between them, modern cosmetic dentistry can give
you a better smile. A “smile makeover” improves the appearance of your
smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures. Cosmetic dentists
work with you to develop a treatment plan.

COSMETIC DENTAL PROCEDURES INCLUDE
• Teeth Whitening or Bleaching
• Dental Bonding
• Porcelain Veneers
• Zirconia Crown
• Inlays And Onlays

TEETH WHITENING OR BLEACHING:
Bleaching is a common and popular chemical process used to whiten teeth. Some
people get their teeth bleached to make stains disappear, while other just want a
whiter shade.
Discoloration occurs in the enamel and can be caused by medication, coffee, tea
and cigarettes. Discoloration also can be hereditary or due simply to getting older.
Typically, whitening at home takes two to four weeks, depending on the
desired shade you wish to achieve. Whitening in the office may call for
one or more 45-minute to one-hour visits to your dentist's office.

TOOTH BONDING:
Bonding is tooth-colored material used to fill in gaps or change the color
of teeth. Requiring a single office visit, bonding lasts several years.
Bonding is more susceptible to staining or chipping than other forms of
restoration. When teeth are chipped or slightly decayed, bonded
composite resins may be the material of choice. Bonding also is used as
a tooth-colored filling for small cavities. Additionally, it can be used to
close spaces between teeth or cover the entire outside surface of a
tooth to change its color and shape.

VENEERS:
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic placed over the front teeth to change
the color or shape of your teeth. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or
are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Little or no
anesthesia is needed. Veneers are used to treat some of the same problems as
bonding.
Porcelain veneers require more than one visit because they are fabricated in a
laboratory. Veneers have a longer life expectancy and color stability than bonding.

ZIRCONIA CROWN:
Zirconia Crown is very popular in all ceramic crowns. This crown is worn to improve the
appearance of the tooth which has become stained or disfigured for a long time. They are
very easy to wear and long lasting.
Zirconium crowns and bridges can be used anywhere in your mouth because of its strength. It
could be resist the biting pressure of the front teeth like beck teeth grinding.
It is so close to look likes your natural teeth so it can be used without any dental work.
It can be fixed by using regular dental cement.
It is really a strong substance that can endure wear and tear of regular use. You will not find
any differences with natural looks and it reflects light the same way. If your new crown keep in
front of the normal light than it could be refluxed the light.

INLAYS AND ONLAYS:
Inlays and onlays, also called indirect fillings, are made from gold, porcelain, or
composite materials and fill decayed or damaged teeth. Dental fillings are molded
into place during an office visit; however, inlays and onlays are created in a dental
laboratory and bonded into place by your dentist. The filling is called an “inlay”
when the material is bonded within the center of a tooth; it is called an “onlay”
when the filling includes one or more points of the tooth or covers the biting
surface. Inlays and onlays preserve as much healthy tooth as possible and are an
alternative to crowns.

BENEFITS OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Cosmetic treatment can help you look younger.
Discoloration and dental erosion are common effects of aging. By correcting these minor
issues, we can help you look years younger.
Cosmetic treatment can enhance your career.
Unless you work as a model or actor, you probably don’t depend on your appearance for
career success. However, if you are embarrassed about your smile, you may be holding
yourself back. When you feel more confident, you are more likely to take on greater
responsibility and leadership. You may also look happier, which can give the appearance of
greater motivation and dedication to your career.
Some procedures can help prevent future dental damage.
Although cosmetic treatments are simply designed to improve your appearance, procedures
such as bonding can strengthen your teeth. For example, by covering up hairline fractures or
worn edges, we can prevent further wear on these already compromised areas.
Cosmetic dentistry can boost your self-confidence.
With your younger, overall improved appearance, you will enjoy greater self-assurance. Not
only will you feel better when you look in the mirror. You may also find that you are more
excited about parties, reunions, and other social events.

RISKS OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY
The decision to go forward with a cosmetic dentistry for smile makeover
is risky because of the cost and the potential for botched results, but the
field has improved so much that results are highly guaranteed. The
process of covering your teeth with porcelain veneers costs several
thousand dollars, and while the results might be stunning, many people
don’t think a perfect smile is worth that much. The trick is to go for a
combination of several lesser procedures.

COST OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Cosmetic dentistry can involve many different areas of
dentistry including orthodontics, periodontics, implants,
crowns, veneers, and whitening. The cost will depend on
what your goals are, as well as where you live. The best first
step is a comprehensive exam and personalized consultation
with a dentist you trust.

AN OVERVIEW OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY:
At present, the scope of cosmetic dentistry is very wide and covers the following
special areas of dentistry; bonding, tooth whitening, restorations of tooth color,
dental implants, porcelain veneers and dental fillings. Each of the above
treatments further has its own subdivisions in terms of special techniques
employed and equipment that is used. It is also important to note that there are
new branches of cosmetic dentistry that have emerged in the recent years. Since
cosmetic dentistry is an integral part of dentistry and can broadly be classified as a
branch of the same, then by extension, it can be said that new branches of
dentistry have been formed directly out of the development of cosmetic dentistry.
Two of the new branches of dentistry that are worth mentioning at this point are
endodontics and orthodontics. The people that are trained in these two branches
and who practice the same are referred to as endodontists and orthodontists
respectively. Contrary to what most people are likely to believe, given the newness
of these branches, not ever dentist automatically qualifies to be called a cosmetic
dentist. Before one can officially be allowed to use the title, they have to undergo
full training on the same as a special postgraduate study course.
