Some of the most common procedures are: 1)Teeth whitening - Everyone has seen the strips in the stores that whiten your teeth over a period of time but what if they don't work for you? In the span of two hours you can get two weeks worth of whitening completed through this service.
This is done with a highly concentrated whitening gel and a special type of light that helps activate the gel so it works even faster and helps reduce the sensitivity of the teeth.
2)Porcelain Veneers - This is by far one of the most popular types of cosmetic dentistry procedures.
By taking the porcelain veneer, which is a very thin artistic dental ceramic, and placing it over the teeth a dentist can reshape, change the size and color of the teeth.
This is very popular for people with large gaps between their front teeth.
3)Braces - The bracers used today are not the old metal kind you may remember, a new style called Invisalign can help reshape your teeth without being seen by other people.
By using aligning trays that stay on your teeth for most of the day, your teeth are slowly moved back into proper alignment.
Every two weeks you would return to get them refitted until the desired shape is achieved.
4)Wisdom teeth removal - Many times a person's wisdom teeth will come in and cause problems with the rest of the mouth.
Sometimes the wisdom teeth can push the rest of the teeth out of alignment or they can just come in wrong and cause a great deal of pain.
5)Dental Implants - If you have lost a tooth a cosmetic dentist can replace that tooth for you in a way that it looks natural with the rest of the teeth in your mouth.
Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way over the years and it now something that many people have done on a regular basis.
Your teeth can say a lot about you and nothing is more inviting to others than a beautiful smile.
Cosmetic dentistry can help you overcome anxiety about your teeth and relieve sometimes-severe pain from problems with your teeth.
