Most treatments not only make your smile beautiful, but they also improve oral problems such as overbite or overjet. Below are a few of the cosmetic procedures that improve the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth discoloration can occur as a result of cigarettes, tea, coffee or medication. It could also be hereditary or occur with age. Teeth whitening is a popular chemical process that helps rectify this problem. It can be done at home or at the office. The at-home procedure involves a custom mouthpiece and solution provided by your dentist. This method can take up to four weeks for best results. However, in-office treatment offers faster results. You may have one or more sessions depending on your whitening goals. Each method is successful but due to convenience and preference, one method may suit you best.
Bonding
Bonding is used to change the color or fill gaps in between your teeth. It can be suitable for small cavities or when your teeth are slightly decayed. You can also use it to change the shape and color of your teeth. This is a considerable option, but bonding is more vulnerable to chipping and staining. Your dentist will examine your teeth and determine the best approach.
Veneers
These are a thin layer of porcelain placed over the front of teeth to change the shape or color. They are suitable for teeth that are crooked, unevenly spaced, oddly shaped, discolored or chipped.
