| What
Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
[[ Cosmetic Dentistry Guide UK ]]
Cosmetic
dentistry involves dental procedures with the
aim of improving the overall aesthetics of your
smile. Often referred to as a " smile makeover",
"Hollywood smile" or "Wedding smile".
A beautiful smile can have numerous knock on effects
in an individuals self-confidence, self-esteem
and personal relationships. The recent increase
in media focus on the smile, with TV shows such
as “extreme makeover” has created a public awareness
about cosmetic dentistry and its accessibility.
Common
cosmetic dental procedures include teeth whitening,
veneers, crowns, white fillings, single visit
cerec restorations, orthodontics, gum reshaping
and dental bridges. Many cosmetic dental practices
now offer facial rejuvination in the form of a
nonsurgical facelift using a combination of Botox
and dermal fillers such as restylane.
Dental
Veneers: Composite and Porcelain Veneers
[[ Your Dentistry Guide]]
Dental
veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like
ceramic material that, when applied over the surface
of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven
tooth alignment or spacing and chips or cracks.
Dental
veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry
because they create a bright, white smile with
beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better,
the translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers
provides a more natural look than what’s been
available in the past.
