With the advancement of technology, there have been several new developments in the field of dentistry as well. We can now straighten our teeth without metal braces, whiten our teeth with wafer-thin ceramic applications, and even replace missing teeth with a period for as long as 30 years. Technology and innovation have allowed us to recreate smiles as well, and that part of the field is called cosmetic dentistry.
It is a comprehensive range of treatments and procedures that primarily deals with the aesthetics of a person’s face and teeth, so a perfect smile can be created for them.
Cosmetic dentistry can be used to lighten the colour, straighten the alignment, reshape or repair the shape, or even create fashion for your teeth. Since people have begun to understand the importance of a bright smile in their lives, they want to achieve that level of perfection in their smile. Cosmetic dentistry is all about improving the appearance of your smile by correcting any number of issues that you may have.
What you can get in Cosmetic Dentistry?
- Veneers: Veneers are thin ceramic wafers fitted on top of the teeth to give them a whiter and even look. They fit on top of the teeth to hide the stained or chipped surface while also making them look sparkling white.
- Diastema/ Anterior Teeth Space closures- Diastema is the space between two teeth, something that looks unpleasant and can expose the gum underneath to bacteria. Diastema closures are orthodontic measures that are used to close the gap.
- Bleaching – Office/ Home- Bleaching is a teeth whitening measure that uses bleaching agents and light exposure to create a hard white surface on top of the teeth to make them appear whiter.
- Treatment of Stains/ Fluorosis/ Hypoplastic teeth- Teeth staining occurs when the tooth either loses its natural colour or is stained because of exposure to staining agents like tea, coffee, wine, or smoking. Removing these stains through various methods makes a large portion of cosmetic dentistry.
- Crown lengthening- A gummy smile is when the gums on top begin to cover the tooth, thus making your teeth smaller than they actually are. Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that extends the length of the crown by removing excess gum tissue.
- Orthodontics- Orthodontics are dental appliances that fit over the teeth to bring them in their natural position. It is mostly used to straighten crooked teeth and to solve problems relating to bite and speech.
- Implant- An implant is a procedure that replaces a missing tooth and to restore the normal balance of the functioning of other teeth. It acts as an artificial root and thus, is a long-lasting and durable method of restoring missing teeth
- Metal-Free Crowns and Bridges- Metal-free crowns and bridges are ceramic appliances that are placed in the mouth to make them match the colour of the rest of your teeth.  
- Gum Depigmentation- Gum depigmentation or gum bleaching is the procedure of applying bleaching agents on the gum to lighten or remove dark spots and patches caused by the presence of melanin.
