Cosmetic dentistry is dentistry done to improve perfectness of our teeth. Not all of us are blessed with a perfect set of natural teeth and if you thought that film stars were, think again. Film stars are permanent cosmetic dentistry customers – their career often depends on that perfect set of teeth. So how do you go from having crooked teeth, teeth with gaps, yellowed teeth, to; teeth that are gleaming white and super-perfect in appearance? Read on.
The secret in two words is, Cosmetic Dentistry.
Most folks go to a dentist only when they have a tooth ache or suffer broken teeth in an accident. A visit to the dentist is for a “fix” rather than to enhance. Of course, cosmetic dentistry is not cheap but when you come face to face and speak with someone, don't you notice the teeth? Don't you say to yourself “wow, what a perfect set he/she has – wish mine were this good”?
Yes, you guessed correctly; Cosmetic Dentistry sets right the imperfect teeth – be it crooked teeth, yellowed teeth, broken teeth, teeth with holes and everything else in between. Cosmetic dentistry is about improving appearance and in reality, costs very little compared to other forms of cosmetic treatment such as straightening the nose or improving appearance of the ears or eyebrows or lips and so forth.
Technically there is very little to differentiate between 'normal' dentistry and cosmetic dentistry. For example, when you visit the dentist to have a tooth crown fitted or do a 'filling', this is actually a part of cosmetic dentistry. But lets look at some really cosmetic dental treatment – these include application of veneer to teeth, building teeth bridges, teeth straightening, teeth whitening, improving bite quality (resetting one or more teeth) and so forth. Cosmetic dentistry therefore, is dentistry done to improve perfectness of your teeth.
Lets look at two typical applications of cosmetic dentistry.
Dental Veneer – Dental Veneers are very thin slices of custom sized and shaped porcelain. The customisation allows the dental veneer to be placed precisely over the visible surface of your front teeth (dental veneers are only applied to front teeth).
Dental veneer is used to correct imperfectness of frontal teeth. So imperfections such as unusual or uneven gaps between front teeth, damaged front tooth, discoloured or unsightly teeth are all hidden by application of dental veneer. Dental veneer is not a correction – it is a covering to cover imperfectness.
Tooth-coloured filling – Unless you ask for it, a dental filling usually means filling a gap or hole in the tooth with a strong, long-lasting silvery-grey amalgam. Which is why you might have noticed your parents having several blackish spots in their teeth. Today, depending on which locality the dentist you visit is practising in, the dentist might (or might not) ask if you want the traditional filling (blackish-grey) or the new tooth-coloured filling. These modern-day tooth-coloured fillings are impossible to see by lay people.
Similarly, there are many other cosmetic dentistry applications. For more information, please visit: http://integritydental.com.au/
