Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized area of oral care which focuses on improving the appearance of the teeth. While most cosmetic dentistry procedures are considered elective, some types of treatment are used for restoration of the teeth.
Inlays and Onlays: This procedure may also be called indirect fillings and the materials are created by a dental laboratory. This solution is commonly used when a tooth has mild to moderate levels of decay. It can also be used in cases where the tooth lacks adequate tooth structure needed for a filling.
In the past, inlays and onlays were made from gold, however, they are now created in a dental laboratory using a composite of porcelain or ceramic material. The only is then attached to the teeth using an adhesive dental cement.

They are used to provide additional strengthen to the teeth, restore the shape of the tooth, and prevent future decay.
Composite Bonding: Composite bonding is often used to repair decayed, damaged, or discolored teeth. The procedure uses a material which closely resembles the natural color of the tooth.
The dentist will first use a drill to remove decay and will then apply the composite to surface of the tooth. Once applied, the composite sculpt is sculpted it the desired shape prior to curing it using a special light. This process is commonly called bonding and is effective in covering visible damage.
It gives the tooth a more attractive and healthy appearance. Bonding is quite affordable compared to other cosmetic dentistry procedures which are used to repair decay, chips, cracks, or restore the edges of the tooth.
FINALLY, LET YOUR SMILE SHINE!
Dental Veneers: Veneers are manufactured using a medical-grade ceramic.
The veneer is applied to the front of each tooth using a strong dental adhesive.
Teeth Whitening: One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures is teeth whitening. In many cases, it can be performed in a single visit at the dental office.
Implants: Dental implants are an excellent solution which are commonly used to replace missing or damaged teeth which are beyond repair. A small titanium screw is surgically placed in the jaw where the missing tooth is located. This will serve as the base and provide support for the crown.
For patients who are considering a cosmetic dentistry procedure, it is critical to work with a cosmetic dentist who is properly trained and has relevant experience. Schedule an appointment with a cosmetic dentist in your area to determine which procedures may work well for you individual needs.
