Aesthetic Dentistry

(cont)

Advances in aesthetic dentistry now offer the potential to reverse the signs of dental aging, thereby giving a more youthful appearance. The advent of new materials and technology in dentistry during the last 20 years has brought with it great promise. Here is a brief overview of what is possible.

Bleaching: The most popular and least invasive cosmetic treatment to brighten and whiten yellowing teeth, is used by itself or along with other aesthetic dentistry procedures. The most effective whitening procedures for immediate results need to be performed at the dental office under professional supervision.

Cosmetic contouring: A simple procedure to reshape the natural teeth to improve contours or to achieve an illusion of straightness. Painless, simple, fast and dramatic.

Bonding: Done with composite resins to close gaps, to fix chipped teeth, to cover discoloration and to replace the traditional silver fillings in front or back teeth.

Crowns: The teeth are shaped to receive full coverage with ceramics to hide worn, fractured, or discolored teeth.
