Cosmetic dentistry is a type of dental therapy that focuses on helping you improve your smile. Additionally, some treatment cases also have restorative benefits even though cosmetic dentistry operations are typically optional rather than necessary.
What are some illustrations of cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry seeks to produce a smile that is more evenly spaced, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing. Teeth whitening, dental bonding, veneers, and tooth and gum contouring are standard cosmetic dentistry procedures performed at Radiant Maxillofacial Surgical Centre and Dental Clinic, Bhayandar.
What are the benefits of cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry can:
- Improve your smile
- Whiten dull and stained teeth.
- Improve tooth shape.
- Repair chips and cracks.
- Brings balance and symmetry to your smile.
Bleaching
Dark-coloured foods and beverages (including coffee, tea, and berries) can cause tooth stains over time. Professional teeth whitening may brighten your smile and significantly and securely lighten the shade of your teeth.
We provide both in-office and at-home teeth whitening services. The duration of in-office whitening is around one hour. Usually, at-home bleaching takes a few weeks. Today’s bleaching agents are primarily based on either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The stain is removed by the peroxide oxidizing agent, which penetrates the porosities in the enamel’s rod-like crystal structure.
In contrast to teeth that are brownish in colour, yellow teeth respond well to bleaching. If you eat or drink things that stain your teeth, smoke, or do both, the bleaching effect is less likely to stay for long. A variety of different factors can cause teeth to yellow or become discoloured. Although ageing is a major factor, smoking, particular meals, coffee, tea, antibiotics, etc. can also cause teeth to yellow.
Tooth reshaping
Tooth reshaping involves the removal of some portion of the enamel to improve the tooth’s appearance. It can be used to correct minor chips, change the length, shape, or position of teeth, and correct tooth size discrepancies. It can also be used to straighten crooked teeth. Also known as enameloplasty, cosmetic contouring, and stripping. This procedure provides quick results.
Veneers
A veneer is a very thin, custom-made porcelain laminate that is glued directly to your teeth. Veneers are a great choice for filling gaps, improving the shape, or changing the colour of teeth that do not respond well to whitening procedures. In most cases, some degree of tooth reduction is required for optimal results. To achieve an attractive smile, we create diagnostic mock-ups that serve as guides for tooth preparation before veneer manufacture.
Two types of Veneers that we provide are
Porcelain veneers
We can cover the tops and sides of the teeth with porcelain veneers, and a sturdy, thin cap.
putting them, we might remove some tooth enamel in order to attach them. To brighten the smile, porcelain veneers can be made to resemble the tooth.
Composite Veneers
Compared to porcelain veneers, resin-based composite veneers typically cost less and need less enamel removal. In some cases, we can place the composite veneer without removing any enamel.
Gum recontouring
Gum contouring involves cutting or removing excess gum tissue around the teeth. If your gums are receding, this procedure includes gum tissue restoration. In many cases, gum contouring is an elective procedure. This means it is not medically necessary. Instead, they are made to improve the appearance of your gums, teeth, or smile. However, your dentist may recommend gum contouring for oral health reasons.
