When And Why To See A Cosmetic Dentist

By Lionel Piedmont


If you happen to have any issues such as missing teeth, a need to have a filling done, darkened teeth, and that kind of thing you may want to look into getting a cosmetic dentistry procedure done.

Cosmetic dentistry is something to consider if you are wanting to mend your teeth. This type of cosmetic dentistry has restorative benefits. For example, if you are in need of a filling but have no desire to use a material that may leave a dark spot on your tooth, a cosmetic dentist can put in a porcelain filling or other composite material which will closely match the color of your tooth.

As well as making a tooth that needs repairs done look like your natural teeth, dentists are using techniques to preserve as much of your tooth structure as practical. They may also use lasers to perform procedures that have to be done on your tooth. This makes it so the cosmetic procedures such as smile makeovers more practical and comfortable for the person having the procedure done. It also makes it so you do not have so long as a recovery as you typically would.

These are some of the cosmetic dentistry treatments that are being used as of today. They are: inlays/onlays, composite bonding, teeth whitening, dental veneers, dental implants, and smile makeover. Inlays/Onlays are indirect fillings. They are made of composite materials or porcelain. They're made in a dental lab and then fitted and bonded into place by the cosmetic dentist. Composite bonding is used to repair damaged, chipped, decayed, or discolored teeth. The bonding material is made out of composite material and is applied onto the outer layer of the tooth or into the hole of the tooth. Teeth whitening is used to treat tarnished teeth. The dentist does this by bleaching the teeth. Dental veneers is used to fix or correct cracks and chips, serious tooth staining, or the worn appearance of your tooth. The veneers can be done if your teeth do not look white after a tooth whitening treatment or if you have openings in your teeth. Dental implants are utilized as part of a prosthetic because of tooth loss. The result may bring out a young appearance and an enhanced smile. A smile makeover is done to boost someone's overall appearance. Customarily several process is done to improve the person's grin such as dental implants, teeth whitening, and dental veneers.

Finding a cosmetic dentist prescribes that you do the research. One of the things you can do is ask your general dentist who she or he advocates. Your dentist may want to refer you to a periodontist, orthodontist, endodontist, or even more. Some of the things you need to consider though when choosing a cosmetic dentist is how long the dentist has been practicing, what dental technologies does he or she use, and what patient comforts are provided while having procedures done.

So if you're considering getting your teeth fixed, do your prpearation on dentists, and decide on what process would help you the most.
