Eyes may be the windows to your soul, but your smile can make or break a first impression.
With selfies and instant photo sharing, a camera-ready smile is great to have. You don’t need to be a celebrity to know how to flash a glowing grin, though. Here are five common treatments that can change the look of your smile – many of them can even improve your oral health too.
Consider
- Teeth whitening
- Cosmetic fillings & teeth contouring
- Ceramic crowns
- Veneers
- Teeth Straightening
Teeth whitening:
Whitening enhances your smile but also regains your confidence. Now the new systems available offer at home and in office best teeth whitening options. Depending on patient’s needs and requirements we help them choose the best. These systems are absolutely safe and patient friendly.
To boost the effects use whitening toothpaste at home and avoid foods and drinks that darkens teeth, such as red wine, coffee and chocolate.
Cosmetic fillings and teeth contouring:
These are the quickest and easiest way to achieve perfect teeth. The dentist will be able to apply this procedure to any tooth that looks uneven and is spoiling the aesthetic appearance of your smile. Teeth contouring treatment is a relatively inexpensive and completely pain-free procedure that can help give you the smile you’ve always dreamed of Small adjustments in the size of your teeth can alter the proportion of the teeth and make them look evener, this is called Enameloplasty. Some patients who have very thin tooth enamel will not be considered suitable for tooth contouring but for the majority of patients that should not be a problem. Contouring sometimes involves gum shaping as well, where under local anesthesia Ginvioplasty is done.
Ceramic Crowns:
Ceramic crowns are a fantastic option whether you want to restore the natural function of your teeth due to significant damage or to improve their appearance. There are two key reasons for wanting ceramic crowns, to restore the cosmetic appearance of teeth so they’re white and straight again, or to repair damaged teeth. You might be considering having crowns fitted because:
- Fixing a broken or cracked tooth
- A dental bridge to replace a lost tooth
- Treated tooth
- Discolored or misshapen teeth
- To have whiter, brighter & stronger teeth
Veneers:
Porcelain veneers — thin shells fixed to the front of your teeth — are a versatile cosmetic option that can help fix imperfections in your teeth. From lengthening short teeth to correcting small misalignments, veneers can transform the look of your mouth with minimal downtime.
Porcelain veneers can hide a number of dental imperfections. Veneers can give you a straighter, smoother, and brighter smile without the need for complicated dental procedures, such as braces.
Composite veneers are also an option for quick solution but those are case dependent.
Veneers can hide numerous cosmetic flaws, such as:
- Short, gummy teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Discoloration
Teeth Straightening:
Some dental issues like buck teeth, crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite and crossbites need to be treated first before considering other cosmetic or smile enhancing procedures. Braces should be considered here, they work by applying tension to your teeth, over a period of time, to realign them. While this treatment has been around for a while, there has been consistent innovation every year for the past decade.
Clear aligners are the most aesthetic teeth alignment option available today. In this procedure a digital scanner is used to make a 3D model to visualize and educate the patient what’s happening in their mouth. Later a set of clear aligners are fabricated as per the treatment requirement.
