Cosmetic dentist, by cosmetic dentist, is a discipline
within Cosmetic dentist, by cosmetic dentist in
which the primary focus is the modification of
appearance of a patient's oral cavity and surrounding
structures, in conjunction with the prevention
and treatment of organic, structural, or functional
oral disease. Through cosmetic dentist, the appearance
of the mouth can be altered to more closely match
the patient's subjective concept of what is visually
pleasing.
Cosmetic dentist Materials – by Cosmetic Dentist
In the past, dental fillings and other tooth restorations
were made of gold, amalgam and other metals --
some of which were veneered with porcelain. Now,
dental work can be made entirely of porcelain
or composite materials that more closely mimic
the appearance of natural tooth structure. These
tooth colored materials are bonded to the underlying
tooth structure with resin adhesives. Many dentists
offer procedures to be cosmetic.
Cosmetic dentist Treatments – by Cosmetic Dentist
Today's common cosmetic dental treatment options
include:
• Whitening, by cosmetic dentist, or "tooth
bleaching", is the most commonly prescribed
cosmetic dental procedure. While many whitening
options are now available, dentist-supervised
treatments remain the recommended procedures for
lightening discolored teeth.
• Enamel shaping, by cosmetic dentist, removes
parts of the contouring enamel to improve the
appearance of the tooth.[1] It may be used to
correct a very small chip. The removed enamel
is irreplaceable. It is also known as enameloplasty,
odontoplasty, recontouring, reshaping, slenderizing,
and stripping.
• Bonding, by cosmetic dentist, is an option for
chipped or cracked teeth. It is a process in which
an enamel-like dental composite material is applied
to a tooth's surface, sculpted into shape, hardened,
and then polished.
• Veneers, by cosmetic dentist,, ultra-thin, custom-made
laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth,
are an increasingly popular procedure. They are
an option for closing gaps or disguising discolored
teeth that did not respond well to whitening procedures.
