Cosmetic dentistry is a combination of several dental procedures aimed at improving the aesthetics of one's smile. Some of the widely preferred cosmetic dental procedures are teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges, dental implants, inlays, onlays, gum contouring, composite bonding, fillings, etc.
During the initial screening and visual examination, we will look into the following aspects and address them:
Crowns: Crowns are cap-like restorations that are used to cover the entire surface of a tooth. They are used to restore teeth with surface imperfections or visible damage.
Bridges: Bridges are replacement teeth that are fitted in position using crowns on either side. They are made from dental-grade ceramic material, which is customized to match the natural teeth' appearance.
Fillings: Fillings are made from a ceramic or composite resin and are usually used to fill cavities caused due to tooth decay. In addition to this, they can be used to restore teeth that are cracked or chipped.
Inlays and Onlays: Inlays are an alternative to tooth fillings. They are fabricated in a dental laboratory according to the cavity's contour, thereby offering a perfect fit. Onlays are popularly known as 'half-crowns' as they are used to restore only the upper half of a tooth. The worn-out biting surface of a tooth can be fixed using onlays.
Bonding: Bonding involves applying composite resin on the surface of teeth that are worn out, chipped, or misshapen. They are popularly used to restore the shape of the teeth.
Gum contouring: Gum disease can impact the smile of a person to a great extent. The gum tissues could decay and even recede below the gum line, thereby exposing the root surfaces. Gum surgery involves removing the decayed gum tissues and grafting healthy ones to the receded area.
