Having regular dental examinations is the ideal way to prevent oral difficulties afterwards. Besides routine examinations, you need to have your teeth cleaned on a regular basis. Regular examinations and cleanings fall under the group of conventional dentistry. Many people decide to have additional treatments giving them not only a healthy smile but a pretty appealing one to help them be more confident. These procedures are classified under cosmetic dentistry.

that many people choose to have to make their smiles more appealing. There are many different procedures available in cosmetic dentistry such as dental implants and dental veneers. Some cosmetic treatments are affordable and uncomplicated, including teeth whitening. Others may be complex and more expensive, like a complete smile makeover.

Non-Metal Braces

Using materials and new technology has altered the dental arena. Now that technology has shifted to new limits, braces can be made of lightweight plastics that are convenient to adjust. A lot of the recent braces are almost undetectable and are also more comfortable.

Metal Fillings are an Old Story

A lot of the substances used in conventional treatments have changed. In previous times, fillings were made of silver amalgam and different metals. These alloy fillings contained substances that most people believe are harmful to the body. Sometimes, these substances would leave dark spots on the gums, also known as “amalgam tattoos”.  Now, the materials used are completely different and match the tooth’s shade, giving you a smile that is safer and more natural looking.

Cosmetic dentistry can alter the appearance of your smile with different treatments like dental implants, partial dentures, veneers and bridges.

A professional dentist keeps the health of your gums and your teeth in perfect condition. Never avoid your dentist as he or she can help in diagnosing, preventing and treating oral health problems.
