Many people are now turning to cosmetic dentistry to improve the
appearance of their teeth. Some people approach it wanting to fix a
defect they have had their whole life, while others need it following a
mouth injury - such as a tooth being broken in half. Whatever the case,
cosmetic dentistry can offer a ‘fix’ for many dental issues.
If
you are considering the same, there are six cosmetic dentistry
procedures you need to know about. These are offered by dentists who
specialise in aesthetics, with all procedures performed under local
anaesthetic where needed.
Smile design
If you don’t
like your smile for one reason or another, ‘smile design’ is the ideal
procedure for you. You might have already been recommended this by your
dentist in Bristol. The long and short of it is it’s a consultation with
a dental professional who will look at your smile and discuss the
various options for improving it.
From this consultation,
treatments will be recommended. Your teeth may just need whitening, or
they may need reshaping. You may need veneers. Sometimes, all that’s
needed is for your metal fillings to be replaced with white fillings to
improve your smile in a short space of time. The best dentists provide
wax mock-ups of your smile so you can see a preview of the final results
before treatment.
Teeth whitening
This is the most
non-invasive procedure you can have. It’s where a dentist applies a
hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth and activates it with UV light over
30 minutes to an hour. The gel breaks down the stains causing yellowness
on your teeth to reveal the natural colour underneath. The results are
instant, there’s no downtime, and your teeth will be four to five shades
lighter. The results last around 3 years but can stretch beyond this if
you use a whitening toothpaste and brush two times a day.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers cover up the front surface of a tooth to hide stains,
cosmetic imperfections, chips, cracks and mildly crooked teeth.
Porcelain is an extremely strong material - veneers made from it last
around 15 years. They are bonded onto teeth after slightly etching the
tooth’s enamel. The result is a veneer that doesn’t increase the
thickness of the tooth, looks completely natural and won’t be stained
itself. Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years with proper care.
White fillings
If you have amalgam fillings you can have these replaced with white
fillings. Amalgam is usually used to fill molars (back teeth) but these
can still show if you laugh with your head back. White fillings are made
from composite, usually a mix of acrylic resin and powdered glass. The
filling is cured using UV light on the treatment table, after which the
performance and appearance is the same as a normal tooth. White fillings
last for 7-10 years, which is less than amalgam, but the aesthetic
appearance is worth it.
Gum contouring
Gum contouring
is a suitable procedure for patients with uneven gums (gums that are too
high or too low). Ordinarily, this is a cosmetic procedure, but your
dentist in Bristol may recommend it if you have treatment for a
periodontal disease. Gum contouring is performed on the dental bed under
local anaesthetic and involves removing tissue from or adding tissue to
the gums, depending on the desired result. The recovery period lasts a
few days at minimum, with some people needing two weeks.
Teeth reshaping
Teeth reshaping can fix minor imperfections in teeth such as wonkiness
and chips. This procedure involves removing small amounts of surface
enamel to reshape the tooth’s profile. Usually, the desired look is
uniformity. Sometimes, it is necessary to add material in the form of a
composite, which can be shaped in the right places to drastically
improve the appearance of the tooth. This process is called bonding. The
result is teeth that are picture-perfect, and the results are permanent
if cared for.
