Whether you wish your teeth were straighter and whiter with no flaws, there are different dental procedures available to transform your smile. This article covers a few of the procedures available for a smile makeover treatment.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Cosmetic dentist options<\/h2>\n\n<p>Cosmetic dental options are meant to improve the appearance of the teeth by correcting dental issues like stains and discoloration, broken or chipped teeth, worn enamel, gaps between teeth and unevenly-sized teeth. Although the treatments are termed elective, they also have restorative benefits to improve quality of life. The following are a few of the dental procedures available for a smile makeover.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Dental beneers<\/h3>\n\n<p>Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain material that are bonded to the surface of the teeth to enhance their appearance. To place veneers, the <em>cosmetic dentist<\/em> will scrape off a thin layer of the teeth enamel. Afterward, they will attach the veneers using dental adhesives. Veneers are customized to look like natural teeth. They are typically used to mask flaws on the teeth or as an instant teeth-straightening treatment to cover gaps between teeth.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Inlays and onlays<\/h3>\n\n<p>Inlays and onlays are sometimes called indirect fillings. They are fabricated in a dental lab and are used when a tooth has suffered mild to moderate decay that cannot be repaired with a regular filling. Inlays and onlays can be used to provide additional support to the teeth and restore the tooth&#39;s shape, as well as prevent additional damages or decay. Inlays are used when the cusps are intact, while onlays are used when the cusp or a larger part of the tooth is damaged, but the damage is not bad enough to require a crown.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Composite bonding<\/h3>\n\n<p>Dentists can use composite bonding to repair a discolored, decayed or damaged tooth. During the process, the general dentist will remove the decay and apply composite resin to the tooth&#39;s surface. The material will be adjusted so the shape matches the teeth. Finally, they will harden the material with a unique high-intensity light. Compared to other cosmetic dental options, composite bonding is one of the most affordable options available.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Teeth whitening<\/h3>\n\n<p>Teeth whitening is one of the most popular treatments. Professional teeth whitening can improve the appearance of the teeth. The process eliminates stains and discoloration from the teeth to restore their luster and brightness. For the best outcome, the dentist will perform dental cleaning before whitening the teeth.<\/p>\n\n<p>Results of a teeth whitening treatment is not a permanent, especially if teeth-staining foods and drinks make up a greater part of one&rsquo;s meal. However, the results achievable from professional teeth whitening last longer than over-the-counter options, and occasional touch-ups should be enough to keep the teeth looking good.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Final note<\/h2>\n\n<p>A general dentist can help you improve your smile drastically using multiple <strong>cosmetic dentist<\/strong> treatments. First, they will evaluate your smile and determine the best way to achieve the desired results.
