Aesthetic Dentistry

Aesthetic Dentistry

Aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry is the type of dentistry that doesn’t only beautify teeth but also your gums and/or bite. It’s specifically used to improve your mouth shape and smile quality that can even extend all the way towards the improvement of the function of the teeth in terms of its bite form and force. However, it’s the type of dental work that’s mostly preoccupied with the improvement of your teeth’s appearance and not necessarily their functionality, as in the case of teeth whitening.

Aesthetic dentistry is mostly focused on improving the color, shape, size, position, and alignment of the teeth as well as the overall appearance of your smile. This extends to healthy gums that can be surgically altered to make a smile less gummy.

Common aesthetic dentistry techniques

Aesthetic dentistry can be as simple as replacing an old discolored and cracked filling with a more natural-looking one that blends seamlessly with your natural tooth. It can also involve more complicated procedures like replacing a decaying or damaged tooth with a dental implant and a natural-looking crown.

• Veneers: A porcelain shell attached to the front of your teeth. Corrects gaps, stains and discoloration, chips or cracks, and crooked teeth. Helps restore the shape and function of your smile.
• Dental crowns: A cap for severely damaged teeth to restore their shape, function, and color. Helps stop decay and is durable, too.
• Dental implants: A biocompatible titanium post placed in your jawbone to act like the natural root and restore missing or damaged teeth.
• Cosmetic bonding: Touches up dental imperfections by closing gaps, filling in chips, smoothing rough edges, and brightening teeth. Is minimally invasive and strengthens teeth.
• Invisalign: The minimally-invasive way to fix crooked teeth, closing gaps or providing crowded teeth with more space. Increases dental health and your ability to properly clean and care for your smile.
• Dentures: Strong and stable solution for missing teeth. Restores functionality like chewing and helps minimize issues like gum disease and TMJ.
• Teeth whitening: The minimally invasive and highly effective way to restore your smile to its bright and natural color.
