Cosmetic dentistry is the perfect smile makeover and San Diego Dental Clinic can help you improve your smile
Cosmetic dentistry procedures aim to improve the overall aesthetics of your smile. Often referred to as a smile makeover or "Hollywood" smile the effects that this dental process can have on a persons self-confidence is a very positive one.
If you are considering cosmetic dental work to enhance your smile it is always wise to seek the advice of a qualified professional. At San Diego Dental Clinic our dental experts can help you make the right decision to best meet your needs. It is also important to keep in mind that traditional dentistry is very important regarding oral hygiene in preventing and diagnosing and treating oral disease.
The most common cosmetic dental procedures are teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, white filling, gum reshaping and dental bridges.
Teeth Whitening
Most likely one of the most commonly recommended cosmetic procedures. Things like smoking, food, and some drinks can cause staining and poor oral hygiene and teeth whitening can enhance the overall look of your teeth.
Veneers
Made from composite or porcelain laminates and are bonded to the surface of a tooth. These can repair chips and cracks that overall improves worn appearance or severe tooth discoloration.
Crowns
Also known as caps they fully cup over the portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line. Crowns can be made out of porcelain (meaning some sort of dental ceramic), metal (a gold or other metal alloy), or a combination of both.
White Fillings
Composite fillings restore the natural appearance of the tooth and since they are white these blend perfectly with the rest of your teeth.
Gum Reshaping
Used to improve the general look of a person’s teeth. It is primarily used in cases where the individual has what is commonly known as ‘gummy smile’. This is a condition in which the gums cover too much of the teeth, usually the front teeth, and this can leave the length of the teeth looking too short, which can affect a person’s general desire to smile.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are false teeth, which are anchored onto neighbouring teeth in order to replace one or more missing teeth.
