Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on enhancing the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and smile.
Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures:
Teeth Whitening: A popular procedure to remove stains and discoloration, brightening the teeth for a whiter smile.
Dental Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth to improve their color, shape, or size.
Dental Bonding: Using tooth-colored composite resin to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth.
Dental Crowns: Custom-made caps that cover a damaged or decayed tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
Orthodontic Treatments: Including traditional braces and clear aligners to straighten misaligned teeth.
Gum Contouring: Reshaping the gums to improve the appearance of an uneven gum line or to address a "gummy" smile.
Dental Implants: Providing a natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth.
Smile Makeovers: Comprehensive treatment plans combining multiple cosmetic procedures to achieve a desired smile transformation.
Personalized Smile Design:
Smile Analysis: Cosmetic dentists often perform a smile analysis to assess facial features, tooth shape, and color to design a personalized and harmonious smile.
