Cosmetic dentistry involves different types of procedures that work to give you healthier teeth and a better smile. They can also help restore your teeth back to better function and make give them a more youthful look and feel. While some dental procedures are more easily performed, cosmetic dentistry can sometimes require more complex procedures to be performed by a dentist specializing in the treatment area. Here, we’re going to look at two different cosmetic dental treatments. They are teeth whitening and Invisalign.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening, also known as bleaching, works to improve the enamel of your teeth which results in a more attractive smile. Whitening teeth has become more of a concern for patients, and so the procedure is required to be more popularly used. Along with the process, a dentist might have to remove fillings and crowns that have been previously added and replace them with newer, fresher ones. This will generally take place after the teeth have been whitened so that they fit nicely in with your freshly bleached teeth.
You might require teeth whitening services if you’re experiencing any of these issues:
- Wearing of your outer teeth
- Stains on your teeth as a result of taking certain medication
- Excess fluoride (which is known as Fluorosis)
- Teeth that are yellow-brownish in color (usually due to stains)
Invisalign
After having braces put in, often patients are concerned with how it affects their smile. Especially when you’re older, the idea of wearing braces might become less appealing. With the Invisalign procedure, you can expect your teeth to be straightened. The treatment offers speedy results without the need for metal braces. Using customized trays to align your teeth and returning your dentists allows them to swap the trays regularly. This allows your teeth’s structure to be improved. While it works to give your teeth the same results braces would, the trays used for Invisalign are often unnoticeable and are easily removed.
You might benefit from Invisalign treatment if you’ve got any of the following problems:
- Overcrowding of your teeth
- Gaps in between your teeth
- An overbite or underbite issue
