What Is Cosmetic Dentistry and Why Should You Get It?
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments that can make your
teeth and smile have an improved appearance, such as teeth whitening, which a cosmetic dentist handles.
We've all seen celebrities showing off their beautiful
pearly whites. But don't assume this is just for them: you can also benefit
from cosmetic dentistry to enjoy perfect teeth! Beyond looking after their
teeth carefully, many celebs will use cosmetic dentistry treatments to add a
bit of sparkle.
There are many simple, quick and painless cosmetic dentistry
treatments that can dramatically improve the appearance of your teeth –
sometimes in just a few hours. So, where should you start? Here are some
popular treatments that are available for all.
TEETH WHITENING
Everybody has heard of teeth whitening. This treatment has
become more prevalent in recent years, especially now that it is safe and can
usually be done by your local trusted dentist.
If you're undecided about treatments, teeth whitening is a
great starting place. This classic treatment is quick and easy. Even better,
you can do most of the work from the comfort of your home.
Everyone's teeth can get stained and discoloured over time.
Teeth whitening or teeth bleaching significantly improve in only a couple of
weeks.
COMPOSITE FILLINGS
If you need a filling, it is usually because you have a problem,
such as decay on a tooth, that needs to be fixed by your dentist. It is essential to do
this to prevent further issues with your teeth, but do you want people to see
that you need treatment?
Many people have silver fillings from years ago, which can easily
be replaced with composite fillings. These are white in colour, so they are
less noticeable.
Composite fillings can also repair chips, improve your
teeth's overall appearance, and build up a tooth where little structure
remains. In short, they provide a simple solution that can significantly
impact.
CROWNS
Dental crowns are used to repair teeth. They are often used
when a tooth is broken down quite extensively, and the crown protects the tooth
that remains.
Crowns essentially consist of a cap the same colour as your teeth. It provides protection and adds strength, but it also improves the tooth's appearance. Another great way to improve your smile! The natural tooth that remains is prepared during the first session, and the crown is applied in the second session.
VENEERS
Veneers are used to improve the colour and shape of a tooth.
A veneer is a thin coat the same colour as your teeth. When a tooth needs
fixing, this layer is bonded to the front of the tooth (usually one of the
front teeth) to give it a completely new look.
Very little preparation is required, making it a quick and
easy cosmetic dentistry treatment option.
TEETH STRAIGHTENING
Are you conscious when you smile that everyone will see
teeth that are a bit squint or one that sticks out a bit too much? Teeth can
now be straightened easily, even when you are an adult. There are several
options, and your dentist can advise the best way forward for your teeth.

cosmetic dentistry is for everybody. It can enhance your smile and make you
feel more confident.
