Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in the past decade, with innovative improvements to bring you a perfect smile. Our teeth are functional, yet aesthetics matter and Australians make good use of a range of cosmetic dental treatments, which we outline in this article.
Teeth alignment
The most popular treatment for teeth misalignment is clear teeth aligners, with names like ClearCorrect and ClearQuartz. The device is removable, ideal for mealtimes and teeth brushing; when worn, the device cannot be seen and over a period of time, the aligner straightens specific teeth. This is a suitable treatment for people of all ages; you are never too old to straighten your smile. Many teenagers suffer from dental crowding and this is the right age to seek treatment; check out the ClearCorrect website for more information.
Dental implants
A permanent solution to missing teeth, a titanium pin is inserted into the jawbone and after a couple of months, the pin bonds with the bone and tissue and a prosthetic tooth is fitted, perfectly matching your teeth. It is possible to have a full set of upper and lower teeth fitted, which is known as ‘All in 4’, four pins anchor a single plate of upper or lower teeth and when fitted, they cannot be removed. Brush and floss as normal and you should enjoy a lifetime of perfect teeth. If you lost a tooth playing sports, an implant is the perfect solution; no one would ever know you have a prosthetic tooth. The leading Australian dental platform, Beseen is a hub of information on all things oral.
Laser teeth whitening
If your teeth are discoloured, you might be suitable for laser teeth whitening, a treatment that involves the application of a hydrogen peroxide paste on the tooth enamel and while wearing protective equipment, a laser is aimed at the teeth and that causes a reaction with the hydrogen peroxide and the tooth enamel, turning it a few shades lighter. You might require several sessions to reach the desired shade of white.
Porcelain veneers
Carefully shaped by the dentist, quality porcelain veneers are fitted on the teeth, giving a look of uniformity. If you would like to find out more about porcelain veneers, contact a leading cosmetic dentist in your area and make an introductory appointment. The dentist can show you colour charts and material samples while discussing treatment options, then a treatment schedule can be created.
Cosmetic dentistry is very popular and if you would like to find out about any of the above treatments, make an appointment with your local dentist and take the first step to improving your smile. Regardless of age or gender, there are cosmetic dental treatments that can improve your appearance and talking to your dentist can lead to treatment options.
