Cosmetic Dentistry involves the use of science and art to transform a person’s life by enhancing their smile and improving their teeth which in turn boosts their self-confidence. It is one of the most popular branches of dentistry which focuses on considering the aesthetics as well as restoring the teeth in such a way that when you walk out of Smilex International Dental Center- The Best Dental Clinic in Pune, you have a brighter, whiter and dazzling smile. Cosmetic dentists provide a wide range of treatments for your teeth that include whitening or bleaching of teeth to improve the shade of your teeth. Cosmetic dentists work on chipped/cracked teeth, decayed teeth or even teeth with gaps to restore them to create beautiful, natural looking, perfect teeth.
Here are the top 4 Cosmetic Dentistry procedures:
1. Dental Bonding
Composite Bonding or Dental Bonding is the procedure where the Cosmetic Dentist repairs decayed, damaged or discolored teeth using a resin material that resembles the tooth enamel. The decay is drilled out and the composite material is placed onto the prepared area and molded to provide the perfect shape and size of the tooth after which it is cured with a high intensity light.
This procedure perfectly covers the damage/ decay and gives the appearance of a healthy tooth in its place. Composite bonding is the most economical procedure to mend cracked, chipped or broken teeth and can be done in a single visit but it will have to be replaced more frequently than Veneers.
2. Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers – the most popular choice among celebrities to enhance and perfect their smiles – are ceramic shells fabricated individually for each person which are used to hide cracks or stains or even gaps between teeth.
These are made with highly advanced ceramic material which allows the veneers to be thin and highly translucent giving them a natural appearance with very minimal tooth reduction. Dental Veneers are fixed onto the front of each prepared tooth using a strong dental adhesive which makes them durable and long lasting. Veneers usually last for many years and like natural teeth may chip off or crack but can easily be repaired or a new Veneer can if fixed if needed.
Dental Veneers are exceptionally realistic and can be used to correct overcrowding of teeth, increase the tooth size or make the teeth squarer or longer.
3. Inlays And Crowns
Inlays are done when there is mild to moderate decay in the tooth and there is not enough tooth structure to support a filling. Inlays are fabricated in the dental laboratory and have high strength and are long-lasting. Crowns are done when the tooth cusps are damaged or when there is a greater loss of tooth structure. These are used to cover the entire tooth and provide strength and protection to the tooth.
Both the inlays and crowns are matched to the individual shade of the patient’s teeth and are fixed using dental adhesive cement.
4. Teeth Whitening
A professional teeth whitening procedure is the best way to keep your pearly white teeth sparkling. The teeth whitening agents used in a dental office are much more effective than store-bought whiteners and hence more effective.
Experienced Cosmetic Dentists in Pune can perform the whitening in the dental clinic in under an hour or they may provide customized bleaching trays with tubes of bleaching gel, so the procedure can be done at home safely without causing irritation to the gums.
The results of professional whitening can be dramatic and can lighten the color of the teeth by several shades. Also, the removal of stains results in healthier and stronger teeth.
