Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures

Dental Implants

Implants are metal posts surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They are made of titanium and can be used in conjunction with dental bridges and dentures. Most commonly, dental implants are used along with abutments and dental crowns. Dental implants are durable but require care for long-lasting results.
Hence, here are a few tips:

  • Avoid chewing hard foods as they can break your natural teeth and crown.
  • Quit smoking as it can weaken bone structures 
  • Floss at least once and brush teeth twice a day.
  • Visit your dentist twice a year for exams and cleanings to ensure your implants remain in pristine condition.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening also referred to as teeth bleaching, is a procedure used to whiten and brighten teeth that have been discolored or stained. The discoloration may be caused by smoking or drinking coffee. For this reason, teeth whitening is performed by a cosmetic dentist after tartar and plaque have been removed.

Maintain whiter teeth by following these tips.

  • Good oral hygiene.
  • Use fruits to whiten.
  • Brush your teeth with hydrogen peroxide or baking soda.
  • Make changes in your diet.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin pieces of plastics or porcelain that are placed in a patient’s mouth to resemble the natural teeth. Thus, they are placed in the front teeth to conceal any form of imperfections or discoloration. Veneers are cheap and can be repaired easily when they break off. Also, they require brushing teeth at least twice a day and floss regularly after a meal.

Tooth Contouring

This type of cosmetic dentistry involves the removal of dental enamel to enhance the look of the teeth. It is usually done to correct overlapping or crooked teeth, irregular or broken teeth, change the shape, position or length of teeth. In addition, it is ideal for patients with healthy normal teeth but wants to improve their smile.
