Brighten Your Smile
One of the first things other people notice about you is your smile, and many people report feeling as though they’re held back on both professional and personal levels by discolored, chipped, noticeably crooked, or missing teeth. Fortunately, you don’t have to suffer embarrassment if the appearance of your teeth isn’t quite up to par, thanks to the many modern advances in cosmetic dental technology. Here’s a summary of the main points of cosmetic dentistry:
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is a general term given to a variety of dental procedures designed to preserve and enhance the physical appearance of the patient’s teeth. Procedures range from teeth whitening strategies to fitting a patient with a complete set of porcelain veneers. Other cosmetic dentistry strategies include installing implants and crowns to replace missing or chipped teeth, straightening crooked teeth, closing the spaces between teeth using a process known as bonding, installing veneers to cover teeth that have become stained and worn out, and contouring and reshaping.
Who It’s For
Cosmetic dentistry benefits anyone who wants to improve their appearance. Everyone from professional business people to grandparents to young teenagers are included in the patient rosters of dentists who perform cosmetic dentistry procedures. Reasons are vast and varied and entirely dependent on the needs and preferences of individual patients, but they include the desire to present a polished, professional appearance to increase chances of success in the business arena or to simply provide a boost to self confidence.
As an added benefit, cosmetic dentistry often has positive overall health consequences. For instance, you’re at higher risk of developing periodontal disease if your teeth are decaying, chipped, or otherwise damaged. You’ll also be more motivated to follow a proper dental care routine if you’re satisfied with the aesthetic appeal of your smile.
