In a world where everybody wants to look smart, young and beautiful, having white pearly teeth for brighter smile and aesthetically pleasing personality is a priority for many.

There are several cosmetic dental procedures available and an expert dentist can help you determine which dental work will work the best in transforming your smile.
Some popular cosmetic dental procedures that can reshape your teeth, close spaces, restore missing teeth, alter the length of your teeth as well as improve oral problems, such as your bite are as follows:
Bleaching: Also called teeth whitening can brighten and whiten your teeth that have become dull or stained/discolored due to coffee, tea and tobacco use. There are different shades of white are available and you can make the choice on how whiter you want your teeth.
Fillings and Bonding: Dental bonding is the process of aesthetically correcting small defects in your teeth, such as chips, or gaps between teeth. During the process, a tooth-colored material is shaped and bonded to the tooth. Besides closing spaces between teeth or restoring the original shape of chipped teeth, bonding also is used as a tooth-colored filling for small cavities.
Dental veneers: Veneers are thin caps made out of porcelain or plastic to fit over your front teeth to correct major cosmetic problems like chipped teeth, severely stained teeth or teeth with uneven surfaces or rough texture. It is a longer lasting, but a costlier way to enhance your smile.
Crowns: Often referred to as a cap, a crown is shaped to resemble a natural tooth and is placed over top of the badly decayed, broken or cracked tooth to restore it to its original shape and appearance. Crowns are costlier than veneers and are the most time-consuming. They have the longest life expectancy of all cosmetic dental procedures though.
Contouring and Reshaping: Tooth reshaping and contouring is commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of ill-shaped teeth and correct small problems with bite as well.
Dental Bridge: It is a false tooth known as pontic that bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A dental crown is placed between two teeth to take the place of a missing tooth so you can restore your pearly while smile.
Dental Implants: A dental implant is arguably the most-natural-looking, permanent solution for replacing your missing teeth. Dental implants have two main components- a titanium material "root" or "implant" that is screwed into the jawbone, and a custom-made porcelain crown (tooth) that fits onto the bolt. A dental implant procedure ends up with beautiful, functional new teeth in your mouth.
