Cosmetic Dentistry: Get an amazing & attractive smile

Posted by rickpetko9179 on October 9th, 2014

There are lots of techniques available to make your smile beautiful. Cosmetic dentistry provides fast and lasting treatments to improve the esthetics of your teeth, from tooth gaps to discoloured or chipped teeth. The word “cosmetic” normally refers to optional treatments to improve the appearance of your teeth, but it can also refer to using materials and techniques that improve your smile. Cosmetic dentistry treatments include:

• Teeth whitening
  
  
• Using white or complex filling materials instead of silver or metal amalgam fillings
  
  
• Using ceramic for crowns and bridges
  
  
• Using surgical methods to manage gum tissues
  
  
• Correcting crowded or uneven smiles
  
  

If you are afraid of dentists and worried about getting cosmetic dentistry done, sedation dentistry may be the answer. Sedation brings patients to a relaxed, anxiety-free state by using of pills, nitrous oxide (“laughing gas”) or intravenous sedation before treatments. The most common method of sedation is having the patient take a pill before his or her dental appointment. Oral sedatives put patients in a calm state and allow treatment without anxiety and with minimal discomfort.

A white, bright smile is a confidence booster, but it can be hard to maintain whiteness when many everyday habits, such as drinking coffee, tea, red wine or soda, using tobacco products and eating tomato-based foods can discolour your teeth. Teeth whitening or bleaching is a common cosmetic dentistry treatment using gel that seeps into the enamel and triggers a chemical reaction to remove the discoloured parts.
