Smile Recovery Treatments: Restore Your Smile With Cosmetic Dentistry

Tooth staining or misalignment can be serious impediments to a charming smile

. Cosmetic dentistry can help the patient to restore the teeth to a beautifully presentable smile.

There are several cosmetic dentistry procedures that deal with teeth whitening, teeth contouring, and teeth reshaping. In fact, in order to attain their desired smile, people even go to the extent of relining a jagged gum line to a more uniform shape. The different smile makeover cosmetic dentistry procedures are explained below.

Before opting for a cosmetic dentistry smile recovery, it is advisable to have a thorough consultation with the dentist and the family general physician, because the cosmetic process might involve aspects like general anesthesia.

Teeth Whitening

Stained teeth are the primary obstacles to a picture perfect smile. The most difficult to remove teeth stains are generally caused by prolonged neglect of teeth through improper oral hygiene accompanied by habits such as smoking. Another cause of tough teeth stains may be the effect of fluorosis on the teeth or the side effect of the antibiotic tetracycline.

Though teeth bleaching is the general approach to whiten the teeth, for more resistant stains (tetracycline stains, fluorosis stains) even bleaching may not be enough. In such cases, the dentist may suggest using porcelain veneers to completely conceal the staining and create a healthy looking smile.

Teeth Reshaping

Sometimes the structure of the teeth may be so jagged, broken, or misaligned that the smile gets affected. A cosmetic dentist applies teeth reshaping procedures like bonding or contouring, or orthodontic braces may be used.

In the process of bonding, the dentist carefully places an enamel like resin on the teeth and waits for it to bond with the natural enamel. After bonding, the resin enamel can be sculptured easily to a beautiful shape. Contouring refers to the simple reshaping of the jagged outlines using dental reshaping tools.

Placing braces is also a viable option in certain cases. Braces can be "invisible" as they are made of porcelain and are color matched with the natural teeth color. Special transparent braces called Invisalign are also used for the purpose.
