Cosmetic dentistry exists to help patients in many different ways. Helping patients with their appearance, confidence, and jaw functionality. At the office of Dr. Patel, we provide cosmetic dentistry to further assist our patients.
Cosmetic Dentists can provide many benefits for common dental problems. Cosmetic dental benefits include:
Consider cosmetic dentistry as a makeover for your smile. Depending on what needed, your cosmetic dentist can use any of the following:
Teeth Whitening is one of the simplest ways one can improve their smile. There’s professional in-office dental whitening along with over the counter products. The benefits of in-office tooth bleaching is the potency of the cleaning agents. Your dentist will use more powerful whitening agents for immediate results. Over the counter kits will need more treatments for the same results.
For teeth that have chips, misshapes, or gaps, dental veneers are the perfect solution. Dental Veneers are thin porcelain laminates. They bond directly to the front of your problem tooth. Providing an aesthetic cover. A cover that now hides any gaps or teeth discolorations.
Dental bonding is another great option to change the shape and color of a tooth. It’s one of the more simple and affordable cosmetic dental procedures. Bonding consists of using a composite resin. This resin is sculpted and polished to match your surrounding teeth. The bonding will close teeth gaps or change teeth shape and colors.
Dental crowns, as the name implies, are caps that go over a damaged tooth. Crowns can restore the shape, size, and appearance of your teeth. Dental crowns also can hold a filling in place, and attach to bridges as well.
Inlays and Onlays are indirect fillings. When the filling is in the center part of the tooth, it’s called an inlay. If the filling bonds over the biting area or more points, then its called an onlay. Inlays and Onlays help strengthen teeth and can replace old fillings.
Dental Implants are permanent replacement teeth. Teeth implants consist of three parts. The implant device that bonds to your jaw bone. Second is the abutment, which connects the third piece, your crown or denture. Implants look and feel like your natural teeth. While also proving very durable since they can last a lifetime.
Dental bridges are another option to replace missing teeth. A bridge consists of two crowns for the anchoring teeth. Along with a false tooth between these anchors.
Dentures are another form of replacement teeth. Unlike other replacement teeth, dentures are removable. Partial dentures will replace one or more teeth that are missing. Full dentures will replace all your missing teeth.
