Article Surfing ArchiveThere Are Many Benefits Of Cosmetic Dentistry. - Articles SurfingCosmetic dentistry is a wonderful investment for many people. Types of cosmetic dentistry like teeth whitening, crowns, implants, or invisible braces are expensive, but for many people the benefits of cosmetic dentistry far outweigh the costs. The following are some types of cosmetic dentistry and the various benefits they provide to their patients: Porcelain veneers Porcelain veneers are very thin shells of porcelain that are permanently bonded onto the front side of teeth and can make a vast improvement on the tooth's appearance. Porcelain veneers are often used by dentists to correct teeth that are yellowed or discolored, worn, chipped, or crooked. Veneers take on the appearance of a tooth, so they don't look fake. In addition, they are resistant to staining. Most often, veneers are used for minor imperfections on the teeth and in some cases can be used in place of braces. Severe cases of misaligned or missing teeth are not candidates for veneers. Veneers are very beneficial in that the color is permanent. People who opt for veneers will have the benefit of a whiter smile that doesn't fade, as well as an improved look. Crowns A crown is much like a veneer in that it can greatly enhance the appearance of the tooth. However, unlike a veneer, a crown doesn't just cover the front of the tooth. Instead, it wraps around the entire tooth itself. People who opt for crowns experience not only the cosmetic benefits of a whiter smile and straighter, prettier teeth, but crowns can have benefits that are more than cosmetic. Crowns help to protect the underlying tooth and act as a shield. Many dentists who perform root canals on patients will opt to give the patient a crown, as it is strong and will protect the underlying structures. Invisible braces If you never got braces as a child but feel like you might need them now, you may be a candidate for invisible braces. People with crowded teeth, gaps in the teeth, or with a severe overbite and underbite may be able to have that corrected with invisible braces. This type of cosmetic dentistry uses clear aligners to move your teeth back into place. Invisible braces, unlike real braces, can be removed for brushing, flossing, and eating. Many adults and teenagers prefer them so the appearance of braces isn't so obvious. Not only do invisible braces straighten teeth, resulting in a higher self esteem, but they do so in a way that most people won't be self-conscious of. Tooth whitening For many people, the effects of aging, coffee, or other factors have taken a toll on the shade of their teeth. In a world where white teeth abound, many people feel self-conscious if their smile isn't as bright as it could be. Teeth whitening can provide a solution for this. As a general rule, no product you can buy off the shelf will give you the results your dentist can during an in-office visit. This is because dentists can use products and procedures available only to them to whiten teeth, and these procedures typically whiten teeth up to 8 shades lighter. Off the shelf whitening products will still work to whiten teeth, but it may not be as dramatic.
