The majority of people seek Cosmetic Dentistry South Bay to improve the look of their teeth and, as a result, their smile. Teeth whitening to enhancing the shape and/or position of teeth are among the procedures available. Cosmetic dentistry varies from other branches of dentistry in that people may not have a clinical need for the treatment; it is performed exclusively for cosmetic reasons.

Because cosmetic procedures like Dentures South Bay are incorporated in the curriculum of most dental schools. All dentists have some background in cosmetic dentistry. It is crucial to note that cosmetic dentistry is not an officially recognized specialist in the field of dentistry in Australia, as it is in most other nations.

Changing the appearance of one's teeth is a difficult task. In fact, most patients are shocked that several operations they want to have done entail more effort than they anticipated. Following a discussion with a Teeth Whitening Services dentist about the intended procedure, the dentist will need to undertake a thorough examination of the patient's teeth and mouth. This comprises a detailed medical and dental history, dental x-rays, a thorough inspection, and the fabrication of a cast or dental imprint to serve as a study model. Only after researching a patient's specific case can the Orthodontist South Bay recommend treatment alternatives that are tailored to the patient's needs.

Dentists commonly provide the following aesthetic procedures:

Bleaching/Whitening of Teeth

Teeth discoloration is caused by a variety of circumstances. These include ageing, smoking, drinking mouthfeel beverages like coffee, tea, and other colored drinks on a frequent basis. Most crucially, a history of tetracycline usage during tooth formation, which permanently stains teeth. The majority of discolored teeth can be whitened by employing a specific bleaching gel that removes stains and reverses discoloration. Unfortunately, some people's teeth do not respond to this whitening and Invisalign South Bay technique. If this is the case, the dentist will need to determine the source of the discoloration and recommend other options, such as dental veneers or dental crowns.

Old tooth fillings are replaced.

The use of silver-colored fillings and gold crowns for dental restorations was once common, but has since declined due to their artificial color. Crowns, Affordable Braces and fillings that match the color of natural teeth are now accessible thanks to advances in technology. As a result, metal crowns as well as fillings can now be replaced with natural teeth-colored ones, improving aesthetics. However, the procedure is expensive and might weaken teeth; the latter is likely since the cavity widens once old fillings as well as crowns are extracted. If you have a lot of huge metallic fillings and crowns, you should ask your dentist first if you can do the treatment.

Placement of porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers, thin shells of dental porcelain cemented to the front of teeth to improve their appearance, can be modified to change the color, shape, and location of teeth.
