Cosmetic Dentistry
Smiling means confidence! A few minutes of healthy laughter a day reduces stress. This is a fact supported by psychologists. We all know that an attractive smile is the result of healthy teeth. Many times we refuse to smile because our teeth are not as we want. If you are not satisfied with the shape of your teeth, if you have missing teeth, or you do not like the color, if you do not like the profile of your jaw, or the exposure of your gums, if the teeth are too short/long, if they are spaced or straddled, it means that you have problems with the aesthetics of the smile. Fortunately, the evolution of dental treatments has reached the point where there are solutions for all the situations listed.
Whitening remains the most economical way to improve your smile.
Cosmetic dentistry complements facial aesthetic procedures.
White teeth give a feeling of freshness and youth.
An attractive smile gives us confidence and improves our relationships with those around us.
Cosmetic dentistry treatments also solve the functional requirements of some oral rehabilitations.
Dental veneers give us lasting benefits.
But what does cosmetic dentistry basically mean?
Whitening Treatments
Teeth whitening means a thorough cleaning of the teeth through which their hue can be changed. The simplest method for easy teeth whitening is the air-flow treatment that involves applying a strong jet of bicarbonate on the visible surfaces of the teeth. For more visible effects, substances are used that induce an oxidation reaction at the level of the dental surfaces. They may or may not be accompanied by an activation by light systems (lamps). Incidentally, in the US, teeth whitening is the main reason why people go to the dentist.
Dental veneers
When you are not satisfied with the shape, color or arch arrangement of your teeth, dental veneers are the best solution. Veneers are indicated only on vital teeth (teeth that do not have the nerve removed). The application of the veneers can be done no prep or prep (without or with a prior reduction of the enamel by filling). The famous Hollywood Smile, a concept increasingly popular among normal people, is created from veneers. With veneers you can get that immaculate whiteness of the star smile, a result that can not always be achieved from a simple whitening.
All-ceramic crowns
Dental crowns are an artificial coating that is cemented on a tooth with a problem. Basically, the dental crown takes the shape and functional structure of a natural tooth. It is also the dental crowns that are also fixed on the dental implants. All-ceramic crowns have indications for use on devital teeth (without nerve). The lack of metal substrate in these crowns attributes them to the qualities of a natural tooth. They have the same light permeability as natural teeth. You cannot achieve an aesthetic rehabilitation using metal structures, such as metal-ceramic crowns.
Dental jewelry
Dental jewelry are precious stones of various shapes and colors, generally small in size, which are applied by gluing to the natural tooth, without affecting its structure.
