Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the teeth and smile of the patient. Decays and impairments in the teeth not only adversely affect the patient’s health but also cause the person to have self-confidence problems. Today, all dental treatments can be performed in conjunction with cosmetic dentistry. The skill and experience of the dentist have a significant impact on the outcome of aesthetic dentistry treatments. 

In cosmetic dentistry, a specific smile is designed according to the patient’s entire facial aesthetics, hair and lip structure, and pink aesthetics. With the help of mock-up technology, the dentist shows the expected results of the surgery to prevent surprises after the treatment.

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
In general, aesthetic dentistry is any dental work that improves the appearance (though not necessarily functionality) of teeth, gums, and bites. The main focus of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance the appearance of your smile in terms of color, position, shape, size, and alignment.

What Does Cosmetic Dentistry Include?
Various procedures are performed by cosmetic dentists, from minor fixes to major procedures. Some of the cosmetic procedures they offer are listed below.

Teeth whitening
Teeth bleaching is the least expensive and least invasive dental aesthetics procedure. Although home applications are available, professional whitening is essential for effective results.  

Dental bonding
Dental bonding can be applied to patients' teeth in minutes and provides up to 5 years of effective aesthetic results without damaging teeth.

Dental veneers
They are applied to patients without damaging teeth who want longer-lasting and more effective results. In aesthetic dentistry, laminate veneers that cause minor damage to the teeth (0.1mm-0.4 mm abrasion) are preferred the most. 

Dental crowns
Crowns are applied for more significant tooth loss and require (1 mm–2.5 mm) abrasion from the teeth. In crown treatments, aesthetics come later than functionality. 

Gum aesthetic 
Gingival aesthetics corrects the existing recession and asymmetrical disorders in the gums.

Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and Onlays are made from composite or porcelain material and are used to repair damage to the chewing surfaces of teeth. Inlays and Onlays are custom-made to fit the tooth and are bonded to the tooth using dental cement.
