Cosmetic Dentistry
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry enhances the look of teeth, gums, and smiles. It differs from traditional dentistry which focuses on dental problems like cavities and gum disease.Â
The aim of cosmetic dentistry is to create a more attractive smile. Procedures include teeth whitening, dental crowns, implants, bonding, gum contouring, orthodontics, Porcelain Veneers and smile makeovers.
Smile Makeover By Our Cosmetic Dentists
A smile makeover is a series of cosmetic procedures used to enhance the smile. Our cosmetic dentist carefully tailors the treatment plan while taking into consideration the individual needs and desires, as well as the overall health and functionality of the teeth and gums.
How it Works?
A smile makeover consists of three main components: symmetry, color, and alignment. Achieving a smooth and consistent smile may involve treatments like deep cleaning, decay treatment, crowns, or other dental procedures.Â
Improving the color of your teeth can be done through teeth whitening or dental veneers. Alignment issues can be resolved with Invisalign, porcelain veneers, or other dental solutions.
Ceramic Crowns and Bridges
What Are Ceramic Crowns And Bridges ?
Ceramic crowns are tooth-shaped caps made from porcelain or similar materials, used to cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth while closely resembling the appearance of natural teeth. They are custom-designed to match the color and shape of the existing teeth and provide both aesthetic improvement and functional restoration.Â
Ceramic bridges, on the other hand, consist of artificial teeth supported by crowns or implants and are used to replace missing teeth, helping restore a complete and natural-looking smile.
How it Works
Ceramic crowns and bridges are dental restorations that improve the look and function of teeth. The process involves preparing the damaged tooth, making an impression and creating a custom-designed porcelain crown to match the surrounding teeth.Â
A temporary crown may be used while the permanent one is made in a dental lab. Once ready, the permanent crown is bonded to the tooth for strength and aesthetics.Â
Ceramic bridges are similar but involve preparing adjacent teeth and creating a customized bridge to replace missing teeth. Temporary bridges can be used until the permanent one is ready. Both restorations provide a natural appearance and require precise fit and proper oral care for durability.
Veneers
What are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or ceramic that are custom-fit to cover the front surface of a tooth. They enhance the appearance of teeth by improving color, shape, size, and overall aesthetics. These veneers are a popular choice in cosmetic dentistry, offering a lasting and significant smile transformation.
