Some examples of cosmetic dentistry procedures include:

  1. Dental veneers: These are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers can be used to correct a variety of dental problems, including crooked or misshapen teeth, gaps between teeth, and severe staining.
  2. Crowns: Dental crowns, also known as caps, are a type of dental restoration that covers a damaged or weakened tooth to protect it and restore its function and appearance. A crown is essentially a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over the existing tooth, covering it completely from the gum line up.
  3. Dental Bridges: Dental bridges are a type of dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, and composite resin. The choice of material depends on several factors, including the location of the missing tooth, the condition of the adjacent teeth, and the patient’s preference.
  4. Hollywood Smile: It is a customized smile makeover that is tailored to the individual patient’s needs and preferences, using a combination of cosmetic dental procedures to enhance the appearance of the teeth, gums, and overall smile.
  5. Snap-On Smile: Snap-On Smile is a type of cosmetic dental appliance that can be used to improve the appearance of the teeth and create a more confident smile. It is a removable, custom-made dental arch that fits over the existing teeth, snapping into place to create a temporary cosmetic improvement.
  6. Teeth Jewellery : Teeth Jewellery is a type of cosmetic dental accessory that is designed to add a bit of sparkle and bling to the teeth. It is a small, decorative piece of jewellery that is attached to the front surface of the tooth using dental adhesive. The jewellery can be made from a variety of materials, including rhinestones, diamonds, and other precious stones.

Inlays and onlays

Inlays and onlays are an alternative to fillings, which can be used to repair damaged teeth. Inlays fit into the hole in a tooth while onlays build up the shape of the tooth, and they can both be made from porcelain, gold or composite material depending on what part of your mouth needs repairing.

Your dentist will numb the area with local anesthetic before taking an impression of your teeth using a putty-like material so it can be sent off for fabrication. A temporary filling will also be placed to protect your tooth until you return for fitting.

In comparison to fillings, inlays and onlays are quite strong and long-lasting, making them suitable for chewing surfaces or larger repairs where it’s difficult to get a natural look from a white filling. Furthermore, they come in various shades allowing your dentist to match them perfectly with other teeth in your mouth.

Bridge

A bridge is a dental prosthesis designed to replace a missing tooth or teeth by attaching an artificial tooth (or teeth) between two natural teeth using fixings. Bridges can be made of metal and porcelain, porcelain alone, or even just fixed to the surface of adjacent teeth without crowns. Depending on the type of bridge needed, it may be attached to one or both sides of the gap.

What will my dentist do?

To make a bridge, your dentist will first take impressions of your mouth with modulable material in order to create exact plaster models that show how your teeth bite together. They will then prepare any necessary supporting teeth by filing them down as required and taking another impression for the dental technician. A plastic temporary bridge or crown may also be fitted until the permanent one is ready. At your final visit, the dentist will check that it fits properly before fixing it permanently in place. Your hygienist or dentist can offer advice on keeping your new bridge clean and maintained over time for maximum duration and performance.

What are the benefits?

The main benefit offered by bridges is that they allow you nearly forget you have missing teeth due their high level of integration with surrounding structures such as gums and existing natural dentition which helps improve appearance while restoring function like chewing, speaking and biting correctly against opposing dentition elements – all while being carefully matched with nearby healthy dentition’s coloration scheme. Other advantages include lasting many years when kept clean and cared for properly; protecting remaining natural teeth from wear-and-tear; preventing remaining natural teeth from tilting outwards; providing support for cheeks/lips’ structure if otherwise impacted due tooth loss issues; if desired but not necessarily immediate replacement after extraction unlike removable solutions like partial dentures which require some additional healing period prior usage. In cases where supporting/adjacent healthy elements’ strength might not suffice for mounting purpose safely other options might provide better fit .Our well experienced dentist will provide you the best treatment options tailor made for you.
