Cosmetics

Cosmetic dentistry refers to dental procedures that are performed to enhance the appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. These procedures focus on improving the aesthetics of the teeth rather than addressing purely functional issues. Here are some common types of cosmetic dentistry:

Teeth Whitening (Bleaching)

• This is one of the most popular and simple cosmetic dental procedures.
• It involves the use of whitening agents to remove stains and discoloration from teeth.
• Whitening can be done in the dental office or with take-home kits prescribed by a dentist.

Dental Veneers

• Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of teeth.
• They are used to improve the appearance of teeth that are discolored, stained, chipped, or misaligned.
• Veneers can provide a natural-looking and long-lasting solution.

Dental Bonding

• Bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the teeth, which is then hardened with a special light.
• It is used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, close gaps between teeth, and improve tooth color and shape.

Dental Crowns

• Crowns, also known as caps, are tooth-shaped covers that encase the entire visible portion of a tooth.
• They are used to restore the shape, size, strength, and appearance of a tooth.
• Crowns can be made from various materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal alloys.

Inlays and Onlays

• Inlays and onlays are used to restore damaged or decayed teeth.
• They are custom-made in a dental laboratory and are typically made of porcelain or composite resin.
