Cosmetic Dentistry: A Look Into How It Can Help You Maintain Your Oral Health

April 22, 2021 - By Bruce Michaelson

A beautiful smile is the first thing that someone notices about you, and therefore, proper upkeep of your teeth is extremely important. The medical craft of dentistry has developed rapidly over the last few decades, and conditions previously considered difficult to correct can be easily fixed with minimally invasive surgery. When a highly-skilled dentist is tasked with recreating your smile and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your teeth, there is nothing to fear.

The facial features of the mouth can be altered to bring about a great difference in the way you look. Along with this, your oral health will improve drastically, and you will lead a more happy life. It is not just the teeth that a cosmetic dentist will alter, as the gums and general dental structure can also be changed, thus giving you a perfect smile you have always wanted to achieve. Let’s look at the different cosmetic procedures and how they can improve a person’s oral health.

Whiter Teeth

Over the years, bad oral hygiene and improper nutrition techniques will leave stains and discolorations on your teeth. A major cause of such an occurrence is tobacco products, either by chewing them or smoking cigarettes. The nicotine in cigarettes can cause stains that are nearly impossible for a toothbrush to clean. Even when a person brushes twice a day and flosses regularly, the stains that manifest from smoking can tarnish their image and self-esteem. Nicotine is not the only product to blame, as drinking coffee and tea daily will also bring about stains on your teeth. With whitening agents, a cosmetic dentist can remove such stains and bring about much better oral health for the person who chooses this treatment.

Dental Crowns & Veneers

Crowns are used to cover the enamel of the teeth and placed on top to create a  better structure and strengthen a tooth. The crown is usually made either of a  full ceramic substance or porcelain or can be mixed with a metal alloy. Such dental crowns are crafted uniquely for each patient and are made to perfection in the American Dental Center. These crowns are often used to protect a weak tooth, mask deep discolorations, or make the tooth stronger after a procedure like a root canal treatment. Dental veneers, however, are made with the help of the impression of the patient’s teeth, and with the use of bonding agents, they are attached to the tooth. Veneers are commonly used to cover chips in the teeth and discoloration as well. Both dental veneers and dental crowns are of great benefit to the improvement of one’s oral health.

Aligners & Gum Reshaping

Many patients do not want to opt for traditional braces that are mostly made of metal. For such people, clear aligners can improve the position of their teeth at the same time, maintaining the aesthetic element. These aligners are nearly invisible, and it is possible to remove them when needed so that activities like brushing become easier. Another important fact to consider is that sometimes there is unappealing growth in the gums caused due to tissue enlargement. This can be treated with a process known as gum reshaping and contouring. The overgrowth in the gums is usually reshaped with the help of dental surgery, and this will help the patient regain an attractive smile. Many oral diseases and health issues can be kept at bay using these approaches in cosmetic dentistry.
