Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of teeth, gums, and the overall smile. Key components include:
-
Teeth Whitening: Procedures to lighten and brighten discolored or stained teeth.
-
Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance.
-
Bonding: Application of a tooth-colored resin to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth.
-
Crowns: Caps placed over damaged or misshapen teeth to improve their shape, size, and appearance.
-
Inlays and Onlays: Custom-made fillings used to repair damaged or decayed teeth, providing a natural look.
-
Dental Implants: Replacement of missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function like natural ones.
-
Tooth Shaping: Removal or contouring of small amounts of tooth enamel to improve the appearance of the teeth.
These procedures aim to create a more attractive smile, boosting confidence and enhancing overall dental aesthetics.
