Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a range of treatments that can enhance the appearance of the teeth and gums. From teeth whitening and dental implants to veneers and braces, these transformative procedures can give patients a more radiant smile that boosts self-esteem and confidence. Below, Bundoora Family Dental Clinic details some of the treatments that fall under the umbrella of cosmetic dentistry.
Teeth Whitening
A staple in cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening is a non-invasive procedure designed to eliminate stains and discolouration. Whether you’ve noticed staining caused by ageing, consuming certain foods and beverages or poor oral hygiene, teeth whitening procedures can dramatically brighten teeth, delivering noticeable results in a short amount of time.
Dental Implants
While often associated with restorative dentistry, dental implants also fall under cosmetic dentistry. Implants are artificial tooth roots that replace missing teeth and restore facial structure, allowing for a natural looking smile. They offer a long-term solution for those seeking to regain functionality and the beauty of their smile without having to rely on dentures.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth. Veneers can address multiple issues, including chipped, misaligned or discoloured teeth. They have a natural look and can dramatically improve the symmetry and overall appearance of the teeth.
Gum Contouring
Uneven gum lines or excessive gum tissue can impact the aesthetics of a smile. Gum contouring involves reshaping the gumline to create a more balanced and proportionate appearance. This procedure can make teeth appear longer and more symmetrical, enhancing the overall smile.
Braces & Aligners
Misaligned teeth and unsightly gaps can be addressed using braces and aligners. For people wanting to straighten their teeth without the appearance of traditional braces, innovative clear aligner systems are an excellent solution. These transparent trays gradually shift teeth into the desired position, all while remaining nearly invisible.
Other Treatments
Other available cosmetic dentistry treatments that can fall under the umbrella of cosmetic dentistry include:
- Crowns and Bridges – Can improve the appearance and strength of weak or damaged teeth.
- Fillings – Tooth-coloured fillings can be used to restore integrity, function and aesthetics.
