From discoloration to gummy smiles, various dental problems which seemed impossible to solve before are now easily treated in modern dentistry with cosmetic procedures that were unimaginable just a few years ago. The latest researches and technologies have made not just aesthetic but restorative solutions for various dental concerns. Treatments have become more accurate, safer and faster.
Teeth discoloration can vary from superficial to extremely intrinsic. Superficial stains usually have yellowish or even brownish hues. These easily respond to in-office whitening procedures that use a very thick gel that's highly concentrated with peroxide. The power of this gel is even boosted with the application of a beam of light that further activates the peroxide content of the gel. Even those with very sensitive teeth and gums can now have this latest whitening treatment since the thickness of the gel keeps the substance from penetrating in their teeth and gums. In a single 45-minute session, in-office whitening treatments today provide obvious lightening of the teeth.
However, teeth with intrinsic stains generally appear grayish. This dental problem may not respond to the latest standard whitening solutions anymore. There are also teeth that are gapped, crooked, or even fractured. For these problems, dentists would recommend porcelain laminates, instead. Laminates are like thin shells that cover your stained or chipped teeth. Expertly made porcelain laminates, when bonded to your teeth, will make you look like you've got a set of natural teeth that are perfectly healthy.
There are crooked or fractured teeth, though, that can't be remedied by laminates. Dental contouring answers this problem and also concern about teeth that are overlapping. Each problem tooth is literally reshaped to correct its length, shape, and/or position and make it even together with the healthy teeth beside it.
But there are aesthetic dental problems that are quite severe. Some people are too conscious about having a "gummy" smile. They don't even want to smile anymore, because they think they have too much gums showing when flash their smile. Cosmetic gum surgery, while it has been practiced for quite some time now, has become a faster and safer procedure. The dentist can make your smile appear "balanced" as he reduces your gums and make your teeth appear longer.
Any dental problem today doesn't appear much of a problem anymore with the latest technological advances and updated knowledge of dentists. If you're thinking of having any of these cosmetic dentistry solutions, though, make sure that you're also well-informed about the treatment. Make sure that you consult your dentist well before undergoing any of these treatments.
