A healthy beautiful smile can do wonders for your appearance and self confidence. In today’s world where first impressions matter greatly, it’s essential to have a smile that lights up the room. At Universal Smiles Dental, we understand that desiring a perfect smile is more than aesthetics. It’s the way you carry yourself, feeling confident and empowered. In this blog post we delve into the world of cosmetic dentistry. Let’s talk about its types, benefits and how choosing us for your treatment would bring the best results.

Types of Cosmetic Dental Procedures

1.  Teeth Whitening

One of the most popular and simple cosmetic dental treatments is teeth whitening. With time, a tooth becomes discolored due to the natural aging process, or diet. These effects can be reversed by teeth whitening treatments. At Universal Smiles Dental, we offer professional grade whitening which gives excellent results.

2.  Veneers

Next are veneers, thin custom made shells that bond to the front of your teeth. These are used to correct chipped, stained or sometimes misaligned teeth. Veneers are made from either porcelain or resin composite. They offer a natural smile with minimal tooth alteration if needed.

3.  Bonding

For minor cosmetic issues like chips, cracks and gaps between teeth, dental bonding is a quick and cheap fix. The dental work involves applying a tooth colored resin to the irregularity and having it shaped and hardened by a special light.

4.  Dental Implants

The replacement of missing or damaged teeth using dental implants is one of the most advanced and durable solutions available. An implant is a titanium post surgically placed in the jaw bone. It serves as the root replacement for a missing tooth. After it integrates with the bone, a crown is placed to return function and aesthetics. Patients seeking a permanent tooth solution should take up dental implants. They are natural looking and working teeth, making it easier to eat, talk and smile with confidence.

6.  Crowns and Bridges

Dental restorations, i.e. crowns and bridges are used to restore damaged or missing teeth. A crown is placed over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength. A bridge replaces missing teeth by

connecting the false tooth to the adjoining healthy teeth. These restorations are made of durable materials such as porcelain or ceramic and provide effective function and aesthetic.

• Gum Contouring

An uneven gum line can sometimes ruin your smile. Gum contouring is performed if you feel that your gums are too prominent or uneven. Normally, this procedure is done using laser technology. It is a very precise and minimally invasive treatment. The result is a more harmonious balance between your teeth and gums, enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Advantages of cosmetic dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry has many advantages far beyond having a pretty smile that makes you feel confident. Some of the procedures, for instance dental implants and crowns, help improve the overall health of your teeth and gums. This is done by restoring function and protecting them from any further damage. They usually maintain the structure and protect a weak tooth from deteriorating.

With modern advancements in cosmetic dentistry, there are many procedures designed to be long lasting and durable. Examples of this are implants, veneers and bridges that are made of high quality materials. With proper care and maintenance they can last for many years. Nowadays, many cosmetic dental procedures are minimally invasive. You can get back to your normal routine as soon as possible. Teeth whitening, bonding, veneers are some procedures done in one visit and will improve your smile without major surgery.
