We all want to keep our smiles looking the best they possibly can, and for that, we sometimes must turn to aesthetic dentistry. For those who don't know, aesthetics refers to how things look. This type of dentistry focuses on procedures that restore the look of your smile after it has been damaged and keep it looking great.
If you're wondering what is covered by aesthetic dentistry, then don't worry; we'll detail some of the more common procedures that are performed to help give people a smile they've always wanted and that they deserve.
Aesthetic dentistry covers a wide range of procedures, but some of the most common or popular ones are here.
Probably the most common and recognizable of all the aesthetic procedures is dental teeth whitening. One of the reasons this is so popular is how easy it is for teeth to become stained and discolored.
While there are many at-home whitening kits available, they are not nearly as effective as the whitening performed by your dentist. For this reason, many patients prefer whitening to be done in the dental office. This is because your dentist will have access to much more powerful ingredients and tools. There are options such as laser whitening and fluoride bleaching that can penetrate the outer layer of the teeth to get them many shades whiter.
One of the cosmetic procedures that not only makes your smile look better but protects it from further damage is having dental veneers placed on your teeth. A dental veneer is essentially a protective coating that is placed over the front of your teeth.
The coating helps restore the look of stained and discolored teeth to a more natural white smile. The coating then helps protect from staining and damage by acting as a barrier for your natural teeth. If you're looking for a way to make your natural teeth look great and last longer, this is a great option.
Bonding is another way to restore our smile, but this procedure aims to repair and reshape teeth that have suffered damage instead of just teeth that are discolored or stained. The way dental bonding works is that your dentist uses a special composite material shaded to be as close as possible to natural tooth color.
The composite material is used to reshape damaged, cracked, or chipped teeth to restore them to their natural look. Even moderately damaged teeth can be made to look like new natural teeth, thanks to dental bonding. Once the material hardens, the best part is that it's as durable as natural teeth, and you'll be eating and smiling again like normal.
While traditional braces are typically an orthodontic procedure, invisible braces and aligners are cosmetic procedures with most of the same benefits as traditional braces without all the metal brackets and wires. Cosmetic braces can restore mild to moderate alignment issues while being much more comfortable, faster, and better looking than traditional braces.
