Popular Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures:
Since your smile is the first thing people notice, then improving the physical appearance of the teeth, mouth, and smile is important. As a matter of fact, in a recent survey, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry found that 96% of adults think an attractive smile makes a person more appealing to the opposite gender. With this in mind, here are the five most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures:
- Teeth whitening
- Veneers
- Teeth Straightening
- Dental Implants
- Composite White Fillings
Professional Teeth Whitening:
Teeth whitening is notably the most common cosmetic dentistry service in the world. As a fact, even if you don’t have perfect, straight teeth, having shiny white will make your smile stand out. Not surprisingly, teeth whitening is a simple procedure offered in the same office that you get regular cleanings in.
Veneers:
Whether you have cracked, broken, or have poorly spaced teeth, veneers are the perfect way to enhance any smile. This three-week or three-trip procedure is a great way to quickly improve your smile. Specifically, three appointments are needed; one appointment for a consultation and two appointments to make and apply the veneers. To illustrate, porcelain veneers are placed on the front and biting edges of the teeth and provide aesthetic value and protection. Veneers are a great way to enhance any smile.
Teeth Straightening:
Unfortunately, not everyone has perfectly straight teeth, but a dentist can help you straighten your teeth. For example, dentists can straighten teeth with braces or other less visible devices, most notably, Invisalign®.
Dental Implants:
Dental implants replace missing teeth and restore smiles. The implant is secured into the jawbone and capped with a crown to simulate a natural tooth. The goal of dental implants is to restore biting and chewing sensation while enhancing the smile’s aesthetics. Dental implants can also be used to secure bridges when there is more than one missing tooth. The treatment period ranges from 6-16 weeks depending on your dentist and requires two appointments.
Composite White Fillings:
Composite white fillings look natural, they are non-toxic, very stable and they don’t take long to put in. Who wouldn’t want your fillings to blend seamlessly with your teeth and be practically invisible? The fillings are made of composite material and are coloured specifically to match your natural tooth colour.
