What is Cosmetic Dentistry? And its types...

If your teeth are discoloured, stained, worn, broken, chipped, misshapen, misaligned, or have gaps between them. Modern Cosmetics Auckland dentistry can give you a better smile. A "smile makeover" improves the appearance of the smile by one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures. Our Cosmetics Auckland dentists work with you to develop a treatment plan. Below you will find some information that can help you know more about the various cosmetic dental procedures available.


Types of Cosmetic Dentistry

  • Dental Crown

A dental crown, also known as a cap, fits over and replaces the whole decayed or damaged tooth up the gum line, restoring its size, strength, shape, and appearance. Dental crowns keep a weak tooth from breaking or hold a cracked tooth together. Can use them cosmetically to cover the misshapen or severely discoloured teeth. Crowns are made from porcelain-fused-to-metal, metal, resin, or ceramic.

  • Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is the simplest and least expensive ways to improve your smile. Teeth will be bleached with in-office products in your dentist's office for about $500, or you can buy a mould and gels from the dentist to bleach the teeth at home. Also, whitening products are available over the counter at retail stores for convenient at-home whitening: rinses, whitening toothpaste, and Whitestrips.

  • Dental Implants

A dental implant is the titanium replacement tooth roots inserted into the bone socket in the lost tooth. As the jawbone heals, it flows around the fixed metal post, attaching it securely in the jaw and giving a replacement tooth foundation.

  • Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-coloured porcelain or resin covering the teeth' front surface. After removing about a half-millimetre of enamel from the tooth surface, these thin shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their colour, shape, size, or length. Veneers are often called "Hollywood teeth."

  • Dental Bonding

In dental bonding, a tooth-coloured, putty-like resin, a durable plastic material, is applied to the hardened and tooth with an ultraviolet or laser light, bonding the material to the tooth. Your dentist then shapes, trims and polishes it. Bonding will repair decayed, cracked, chipped, or misshapen teeth; it is also an excellent cosmetic alternative or replacement for silver or amalgam fillings.

  • Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and Onlays, also famous as indirect fillings, are made from porcelain, gold, or composite materials and fill damaged or decayed teeth. Dental fillings are moulded into place during an office visit. However, inlays and Onlays are made in a dental laboratory and bonded into place by the dentist. The filling is known as "inlay" when the material is bonded within a tooth's centre. The filling allows one or more tooth points or covers the cutting surface. Inlays and Onlays preserve as very healthy tooth as possible and are an alternative to crowns.

  • Other Options

The bridge is made up of crowns on either side of a gap with false teeth in between. A denture is a removable replacement of the missing teeth. Dental braces can misalign or straighten crooked teeth and work by slowly embedding continuous pressure to move teeth in a specific direction.
