• Teeth Whitening
• Teeth can be bleached with in-office products in
  a dentists office. The use of a mold and gels
  can be locally used to bleach ones teeth at home
  under the supervision of the dentist. Whitening
  products such as whitening toothpastes, rinses
  and white strips are available in retail stores
  and convenient for whitening of teeth.
• Dental Veneers
• They are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of
  tooth-colour porcelain or resin that cover the
  surface of the teeth. Firstly, about a half
  millimetre of the enamel is removed. Then the
  thin shells are cemented to the tooths surface.
  This procedure helps to change teeth color,
  shape, size or even length. This cosmetic
  dentistry procedure helps maintain strong teeth
  and healthy gums.
• Dental bonding
• In this procedure, tooth-colour, putty-like resin
  is incorporated into the tooth surface and
  hardened by ultraviolet rays or laser beam. The
  dentists then shapes and trims it to the required
  shape and size. This cosmetic dentistry procedure
  can mend cracked, chipped and decayed teeth.
• Dental Crown
• The crown fits over or may even replace the
  decayed or damaged tooth. The crown helps in the
  restoration of tooth size, shape, and even
  strength. Crowns can also be used cosmetically to
  cover critically discoloured teeth. Materials
  used to make the crown could be metal, porcelain
  or resin.

• Inlays and Onlays
• These are made from gold, porcelain, or composite
  materials that could fill up a decayed or broken
  tooth. The dental fillings are molded. Inlays and
  onlays are created in dental laboratories. The
  filling is termed as an inlay when the material
  is placed into the center of a tooth. If the
  fillings are bonded to more than one point of the
  tooth they are known as onlays. Inlays and onlays
  can be used alternatively with crowns. This
  cosmetic dental procedure preserves healthy
  teeth.
• Dental Implants
• This cosmetic dentistry procedure involves
  replacing tooth roots inserted into the bone
  socket of a missing tooth. When the jawbone
  heals, it grows along the implanted titanium
  implant. The implant provides a foundation for
  the replacement tooth. This ensures strong teeth
  and healthy gums.
• Dental Braces
• Dental braces are often used to straighten
  misaligned teeth. This is achieved as the braces
  apply continuous pressure to the teeth. This
  moves the teeth slowly in a specific direction.

Types of Cosmetic Dentistry

• Inlays and Olay
• This type of dentistry is commonly known as
  direct fillings. If a tooth is damaged due to
  tooth decay a direct filling is placed on the
  spot where the tooth is damaged in order to
  restore the tooth. Before even placing the
  filling on the tooth the dentist will have to
  remove the decay covering the tooth and clean the
  infected area. This kind of cosmetic dentistry is
  used to strengthen the teeth.
• Dental Veneers
• A custom-made thin material that resembles a
  tooth that is placed over a tooth to improve the
  appearance of a person's teeth. Veneers are
  beneficial in areas where teeth appear oddly
  shaped or there are gaps in between the teeth and
  the gums.
• Teeth Whitening
• This is by far the simplest cosmetic procedure a
  person can have. The dentist goes into a
  patient's mouth and finds the hard to remove
  spots on the teeth and removes them. In the
  process, the dentist will effectively clean the
  teeth making them whiter than before.

Types of Cosmetic Dentistry

• Dental Crown
• The dental crown is used initially to place a cap
  over missing or badly damaged teeth. A crown can
  also be placed over a tooth implant. A crown
  essentially strengthens a damaged tooth.
• Tooth Alignment
• Orthodontics specializes in this kind of
  procedure but a tooth alignment is done to
  straighten crooked teeth. This procedure also
  aligns teeth correctly to stimulate oral health.
• Bonding
• This type of cosmetic dentistry deals with fixing
  broken or chipped teeth. Teeth that have any form
  of discoloration can be fixed as well. Dentists
  will generally apply a special filling that is
  colour exactly like a tooth. Afterwards a surgeon
  will then use a laser to harden the area where
  the colour extract was placed.

Proper Care For Dental Crowns

• Proper Care For Permanent Dental Crowns
• Brush
• Brushing teeth is highly necessary every morning
  and night. This practice will keep anyones smile
  and dental crowns bacteria free and clean. It is
  necessary that you use a toothbrush with soft
  bristles and a toothpaste with fluoride.
• Floss
• Never forget this important technique to keep
  your dental crowns in their pristine condition.
  Flossing is best to do once a day, as flossing
  can help remove all harmful particles that a
  toothbrush cannot reach.
• Rinse
• Rinse the mouth using mouthwash, whether it is
  fluoride or antibacterial. Rinsing right will
  complete not only cleaning but also keep your
  dental crowns in their best condition.
• Visit a professional dentist
• It is highly recommended that you visit your
  professional dentist every 6 months. Let them
  check the condition of your dental crowns and
  perform professional cleaning. These regular
  visits to the dentist will assist you in
  preventing gum disease, tooth decay and any other
  dental issues.

Proper Care For Dental Crowns

• Temporary Dental Crowns Proper Care
• Temporary dental crowns can be just a temporary
  fix while waiting for your permanent dental
  crowns to be available, but you have to take care
  of them as well. Your dentist may suggest that
  you take the following precautions
• Avoid chewy, sticky foods, like caramel and
  chewing gum. These type of foods have the
  possibility of pulling and grabbing off your
  dental crowns.
• As much as possible, avoid using the area or side
  of the mouth that has temporary dental crowns.
  Try to shift the mass of the chewing to the other
  area or side of your mouth.
• Avoid chewing hard foods. Hard foods like raw
  vegetables could break or dislodge your dental
  crown.
• When using floss, instead of lifting the floss,
  slide it to avoid pulling the temporary off.

Invisalign The Best Solution for Your Dental
Problems

• Other than correcting crowded, crooked, or gapped
  teeth, Invisalign plays an essential function in
  an individuals overall dental health. Invisalign
  is important in the rectification of abnormal
  bite functions in cases where the upper and the
  lower jaws cannot come together properly. Failure
  to correct bite problems has a high chance of
  leading to oral health problems like the loss of
  a tooth, cavities, tooth erosion, gum infections,
  and difficulties while speaking and eating.
• The chances of contracting gum disease are high
  when your teeth are crowded or widely spaced.
  Proper positioning of your teeth allows the gums
  to fit more firmly and reduces the risks of gum
  infections. Moreover, having straight teeth is an
  assurance of a healthier mouth, not to mention
  mouth that comes with a pleasing appearance.
  Furthermore, this is one way of ensuring that
  your teeth are lasting for your whole life.
• Correction of orthodontic problems is one way of
  preventing issues like bad breath, gum
  inflammation, teeth chipping, and tooth
  sensitivity. Moreover, this is the solution for
  the immediate problems. In addition, correcting
  orthodontic challenges is a key way to preventing
  the development of serious issues like tooth
  loss.

Benefits of Using Invisalign

• Invisalign is highly reliable for correcting
  different teeth imperfections
• This treatment can address a variety of
  orthodontic issues, from mild to moderate.
• Since Invisalign is transparent, it is discreet
  to use
• There are many people, particularly adults, who
  like to improve the appearance of their teeth,
  but they decline to use wires and metal braces
  due to its noticeable appearance. Invisaligns
  aligners are clear, thin and made to fit subtly
  on your teeth therefore your family, colleagues,
  and friends will not even notice that you are
  wearing one.
• Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign
  requires no restrictions to the foods you eat
• Since it is not fixed to your teeth, removing an
  Invisalign appliance when eating and drinking is
  possible. This being the case, while on treatment
  you will not be deprived of your favourite foods,
  chocolates, popcorn or candies you still can
  enjoy all of them provided that you will brush
  your teeth after eating anything acidic, scratchy
  or sugary.

Benefits of Using Invisalign

• Invisalign is easier to maintain
• One of the major complaints people wearing
  conventional braces have is the difficulty of
  maintenance. Using special applications to scrub
  under and between their wires and brackets is not
  too handy for everyone. And not cleaning the
  appliance right could possibly leave debris and
  plaque behind, which could jeopardize their oral
  health. Using and maintaining Invisalign is just
  easy, remove aligners, then floss and brush teeth
  as usual. You can also gargle mouthwash if you
  wish.
• Invisalign is more comfortable to wear than
  traditional orthodontics
• While wires and brackets are effective in moving
  and repositioning your teeth, unfortunately they
  are not as comfortable to wear. Most of the time
  they irritate the gums, making the treatment
  process harder and more painful. Many Invisalign
  patients claim that this oral appliance is highly
  comfortable and easier to wear.
• Invisalign has a fairly short treatment process
• On average, those who wear Invisalign will get
  their preferred result within a year, although
  the treatment time can be shorter or longer
  depending on the patients unique needs. Needless
  to say, as long as you consulted the right
  professional, expect to see results sooner.
