It is a well-known fact that most people would like to have movie-star quality smiles, perfect teeth and a grin with no imperfections or gaps. In other words, the kind of smile that any toothbrush and tooth paste manufacturer would be proud to have on the cover of their products. One way to achieve this kind of smile is by visiting a Cosmetic Dentistry Scottsdale AZ practice.
Cosmetic dentistry involves anything that has to do with the improving of a person’s teeth appearance. Some of the simpler yet inexpensive options of cosmetic dentistry include the use of dental fillings. The fillings make use of composite or porcelain materials that are used to match as close as possible to the teeth’s natural color. The dentist can also elect to fill cavities or gaps in the tooth.
Bonding is a procedure whereby enamel is applied to the teeth’s surface hiding cracks and chips present. However, it is easy for them to be stained and may require replacing sometime in future.
Veneers work much like bonding in covering up the chips, cracks and hiding gaps. The only disadvantage is that they easily break off and may require replacing. When it comes to teeth whitening, the dentists choose to use bleach in order to get rid of stains making the teeth whiter. The disadvantage of this method is that it requires some time, and the whitening process can take more than a few treatments to fix. Even then, periodic treatments will be required in order to maintain the color.
The smile makeover is the most complex of procedures since it requires the application of several techniques to transform a smile. Before the start of a makeover, the dentist is required to examine the patient’s teeth, smile and mouth as well as find out your particular wants.
Working with the patient, the dentist will then formulate a treatment plan that will deal with one procedure at a time until the smile is truly transformed. Other procedures, like dental implants are expensive, but some insurance companies do cover them.
Before beginning any cosmetic dentistry job, it is vital tyou decide what it is you need, whether it is a better smile, to hide gaps, whiter smile and or straighter teeth. Knowing this will help you save on money and time while in the dentist’s chair. For further information, contact the experts at Feldhake & Associates.
