What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Joseph Coupal - Thursday, June 16, 2011

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field that restores and beautifies teeth. It is one of the most popular choices of cosmetic surgery today and more and more people are opting for cosmetic dental procedures to improve their appearance, comfort and lifestyle.

Cosmetic dentistry serves several purposes, one is basic comfort. From an accident or through genetics, your teeth may have been broken or may cause you general discomfort. If orthodontic work has not been successful, or is not possible, for many the best alternative is cosmetic dentistry.

Many people undergo cosmetic dentistry to enhance their smile. It is becoming more and more common for the general population. People in every industry are turning to cosmetic dentists to get the smile they have always wanted.

Seniors are finding that through implants and veneers they can increase the life of their teeth and their overall comfort. An alternative to dentures is priceless for many.

You may not even realize that your dental work is considered cosmetic. There are a number of cosmetic dental procedures available today. Some of the most common are teeth whitening, veneers, and dental implants.

Whether you are interested in cosmetic dentistry for the look or for durability, the Dr. Johnson at Newton Prosthodontics can provide you with excellent care and quality when it comes to any dental procedure.

Cosmetic Dental Treatments for Gaps Between the Teeth

Joseph Coupal - Thursday, May 12, 2011
Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field using dental procedures to restore and beautify teeth. It is very popular today and more and more people are opting for cosmetic dental procedures to improve their appearance, comfort and lifestyle.There are several cosmetic dentistry treatments for gaps between the teeth including porcelain veneers, Bonding, Orthodontics or braces, and Crowns.

Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers look natural and are a solution to a wide range of cosmetic tooth problems. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded to the front and tops of the teeth. They are thin and light can shine through them so they take on the natural color of the underlying tooth. Only a minimal amount of the original tooth structure has to be removed for veneers and usually they can be repaired in the mouth with bonding techniques. After they are bonded in place, they are beautiful, strong and durable.

Bonding
Bonding is a three-step procedure. First, the fronts of the teeth are treated with a mild acid. Next, the plastic bonding material is placed on and sculpted to the desired shape. The material is then hardened with a high-intensity light. Bonding produces strong, natural looking teeth restorations and is a one-appointment procedure.

Crowns
Crowns are made of porcelain, a combination of porcelain and metal, or metal only. They are best used in cases where teeth are broken down and need structural support and protection. They can also be appropriate if gaps in the teeth are extremely wide. If your teeth are intact and you just want to close the spaces, bonding, veneers, or orthodontics are the best choice.

Orthodontics or Braces
To provide the leverage to move and straighten and close the gaps in teeth, brackets are bonded to the front of the teeth, and connected with wires. They require no tooth reduction or other teeth restoration materials, but the treatment time is lengthy, typically 18 to 36 months.
