Increasing popularity of cosmetic dentistry

Lately, with all the developments and advances in cosmetic dentistry, people around the world have become more and more aware of how a “perfect smile” can change their entire appearance and how much of a self esteem boost it can be. The increasing demand for aesthetic improvements in teeth and gums has made cosmetic dentistry a specialty in itself and increasingly popular in the USA. This relatively new revolution has created the need for Cosmetic Dentists trained in this art. A Cosmetic Dentist is in a way an artist and a well trained Cosmetic Dentist is the assurance of clients for a beautiful, bright smile.

Here is a brief note on terminology as it may be confusing to the layman. Simply put, cosmetic dentistry refers to any procedure performed on the teeth or gums with the objective of improving the aesthetic appearances. This often means the use of tooth colored substances in the patient’s mouth. An example of cosmetic dentistry is whitening, or, teeth-bleaching, used to treat discolored teeth.

The following is a list of some of the cosmetic dentistry options available to clients-

• Whitening includes various procedures to whiten discolored teeth. While many Whitening options are now available, it is advisable to undergo only dentist-supervised procedures.
• Enamel Shaping removes parts of the tooth enamel to improve its appearance. It may be used to remove a small chip. The removed enamel is irreplaceable. .
• Contouring, also known as tooth reshaping, is a procedure to correct crooked, cracked, or overlapping teeth. In certain cases this procedure may be used to avoid the use of braces. This is often used to modify the length, shape, or position of the tooth
• Bonding is a procedure where enamel-like material is applied to the tooth surface, sculpted into a shape, hardened and then polished.
• Bridging is the insertion of a man-made tooth or teeth in the area left by a missing tooth. Fixed bridges cannot be removed from the mouth as can be done with removable partial dentures.
• Veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made laminates that are bonded directly to the teeth. They can be used for closing gaps or as an alternative to permanent whitening.
• Gum Lift raises or sculpts the gum line. This requires tissue reshaping to create the appearance of longer or more symmetrical teeth.

If you feel you can improve your facial appearance with cosmetic dentistry you should consider visiting a cosmetic dentist. Many of them offer a free initial consultation and sometimes 0% financing.  You can know more about how a cosmetic dentist can help you at www.austinsmiles.com.
