While general dentistry offers preventative or restorative dental treatments that restore function as well as appearance, cosmetic dentistry specifically aims to improve the appearance of the teeth and the beauty of the smile.
Getting cosmetic dental procedures from anywhere other than a qualified dentist and a fully equipped clinic creates a significant level of risk for side effects and undesired results.
As long as the treatment is done correctly by a qualified dentist the risks are minimal and cosmetic dentistry procedures are perfectly safe.
With the advances in technology and dental procedure techniques, cosmetic dentistry is mostly pain-free. Thanks to the sedation administered the patient feels no discomfort during their cosmetic dentistry procedure, although in some cases there might be slight discomfort after the procedure, the patient will be provided with painkillers to help manage the discomfort.
Dental crowns are fixed prosthetics, tooth-shaped caps that are permanently cemented onto the natural teeth or on top of dental implants with the purpose of covering a damaged or chipped tooth. Dental implants are inserted directly into the jaw and act as a base for dental crowns.
Veneers last approximately 10 to 15 years if certain habits like grinding the teeth or chewing on pen tips are avoided.
Most common cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, dental crowns, dental implants, and composite bonding.
This would depend on the type of the prosthetic applied during the cosmetic dental procedure. Teeth whitening lasts up to 3 years, composite bonding lasts up to 10 years and dental crowns last 10 to 15, while dental laminates last 5 to 15 years as long as they are well taken care of.
Dentures are prosthetic teeth supported by a plastic base that blends in with the gums. They can be manufactured using different types of materials, which can affect their appearance. Cosmetic dentures use specialized materials to replace missing teeth and restore function all while improving the aesthetics of the smile.
