Procedure for smile design

Your visit to the cosmetic dentist marks the start of the smile design process. The dentist will      examine your teeth and gums. To aid in the creation of a thorough treatment plan, they might also take pictures, x-rays and tooth imprints.  

              Usage of crowns: Very few people are fortunate enough to have flawless, natural teeth. Furthermore, poor oral hygiene, injuries involving the oral cavity, or inadequate treatment can all cause teeth to change in appearance over time. By employing attractive caps that are that are specially designed to match the shape and appearance of the teeth, crowns enable patients to conceal old or damaged teeth. Crowns are useful in several ways.

The surface of the teeth may be severely damaged by stress, trauma, or dental rot. There are instances when a tooth is so broken or delicate that the dentist has two options: Either extract the tooth or use the crown of the tooth to protect it.

By conducting a root canal to remove the infected pulp, the dentist can treat irreversible pulpitis. The dentist has two options for root repair when the root canal is finished. Using a filling to seal the tooth is the first technique. The other superior choice, is to fill the gap in your tooth and cover it with a crown. A crown is necessary to prevent a dead tooth from disintegrating, especially if it has a molar.

In certain cases, a tooth that has had decay treatment is a perfect candidate for crowns. Dentists may choose to protect a tooth with an issue by placing a cap on it rather than using a filling. The cap will create an imperceptible barrier between the two mouths and shield the entire tooth. The cover will prevent the teeth from coming into contact with dangerous microorganisms, acids, sugars and starch.

Dental caps can conceal chipped, discoloured and misaligned teeth and fix a variety of other dental imperfections. Crowns can also straighten teeth. By covering little teeth and enhancing their visibility, crowns also aid in closing the spaces between teeth. For many dentists, crowns are the preferred cosmetic devices.

Teeth Whitening: The look of your smile is greatly influenced by the colour of your teeth. In order to make sure your teeth are straight, symmetric and consistently white, teeth whitening is frequently the last stage in smile design. A brighter grin can improve your appearance and give you more self-confidence. By giving your teeth a consistent hue, teeth whitening can go well with crowns, veneers or orthodontic treatment. This guarantees a harmonious and natural appearance by ensuring that any artificial restorations blend in perfectly with the natural teeth. The fact that teeth whitening is non-invasive and produces immediate results is one of its main benefits. Whitening is a convenient alternative to people seeking instant results because it can be typically finished in a single session, unlike the use of veneers and braces.

Dental Veneers: Veneers are very popular in cosmetic dentistry and are used extensively for smile design. Veneers are made from porcelain or composite resin. They are thin shells and are designed in such a way that they fit over your natural teeth. The initial stage in your treatment begins with consultation with the dentist. Your goals and aspirations for cosmetic dentistry are discussed along with whether veneers are compatible for you or not. A small amount of enamel may have to be removed from the tooth receiving a restoration.

After this preparation is completed, imprints or digital scans will be obtained at a dental laboratory to make custom made veneers just for you. Temporary veneers may be put while you wait for permanent ones. When it comes to the final placement session, any temporary restorations are removed and replaced with permanent ones using specialized cement or adhesive bonding agents. You dentist will make the required adjustments to guarantee a good fit and biting alignment.

Dental Implants: Dental implants are durable, cheap and last very long. They blend seamlessly with natural teeth in terms of aesthetics and performance. The only alternative for dental restoration that maintains and promotes natural bone growth is dental implants. This is essential for preserving the structure of your face and preventing bone loss. You can laugh, talk and eat without concern if you have dental implants. They work just like your original teeth, so you can live your life without worrying about speech problems or food restrictions.

Gum Contouring: Gum contouring or gingival sculpting is a cosmetic dentistry technique used to redefine and remodel the gum line. This method enables accurate alterations regardless of whether a patient has an uneven gum line or abundant gum tissue that results in a gummy smile. The procedure entails carefully removing or reshaping gum tissue using laser technology or conventional surgical techniques in order to expose more of the tooth structure and create a harmonious balance between the gums and teeth.
