If you carefully take a look at the regular faces on the pages of the several magazines we have today, the social models over Instagram and the personalities on TV, you are likely going to identify one thing that is common to them all. 
Can you guess what that could be? If you have guessed, I’m sure one of the things you would have guessed is that they all have invested in their smiles. 
 
If you are considering cosmetic dentistry as a perfect solution to your dental challenges, you are definitely not alone in this. More than 86% of Americans are seeking cosmetic treatments to improve their physical attractiveness and boost self-esteem. 
 
If you are ready to tap into the several benefits cosmetic dentistry has to offer, but not very sure which of the treatments will work best for you; this article is here to help. It will show you the different types of procedures in cosmetic dentistry and which is right for you. 
 
 
#1: Composite Bonding 
 
Do you have cracked or chipped teeth? Perhaps it’s visible decay; Composite bonding is the best treatment you should consider if you want a long-lasting effect that will give your overall appearance a significant boost. 
 
To get this, your dentist will first prepare your teeth by etching the surface lightly to make them a bit rough. After that, he or she will coat the teeth with a conditioning liquid that helps the adhesive material stick better. 
 
After the teeth have been prepared, the next thing is to apply a resin material whose color will be exactly the color of your natural teeth. The resin will mold and shape into a tooth, then UV light will be used to harden it. A finishing touch is then done on it with polish. In a matter of 30 minutes to an hour, you should be done with the procedure. 
 
 
#2: Dental Crowns 
 
Dental crowns are fixed devices often shaped in the form of a tooth, which is used to completely cover an implant or a damaged tooth. Crowns are used to replace a filling, especially where the tooth is lacking. It is also used to protect week teeth and cover a misshapen or discolored tooth. 
 
Here, your dentist will use one of the four different materials which do come with varying level of durability and sealing capabilities. Not only will these materials help restore your healthy smile; it also has the ability to make your teeth stronger while it also protects them from further decay. 
 
 
#3: Cosmetic Veneers 
 
Just like bonding, veneers will also give you the look of symmetrical, beautiful teeth, but with a stronger and more permanent material. Here, your dentist will either use a composite resin or porcelain to make your new teeth. 
 
However, you need to know that not everyone is a candidate for veneer, so make sure you consult your dentist about your oral health and dental history to determine this is the best option for you. 
 
 
#4: Dental Implants 
 
Dental implants are a permanent solution that is also very close to real teeth. If you have lost some of your teeth, dental implants are ideal for you. In this procedure, a dental implant is surgically placed into your jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. 
 
 
Which means for you to take this procedure, you need to have healthy gums to accommodate the implants. Dental implants are convenient and easy to maintain. They also save you from a regular visit to the dentist in the long run while remaining secure in your mouth while laughing or talking. 
 
 
#5: Teeth Whitening 
 
Although teeth whitening is not always considered as a cosmetic dentistry practice, but when it comes to making quick changes to your smile, it is a go-to option anyone should consider. According to the National Institute of Teeth Whitening, almost 90% of Americans go for dental whitening every year. 
 
This is a quick indication that there are several people out there daily searching for the easiest and best way to a whiter smile. However, ensure you speak with your dentist first, so you will know if you can go for an at-home whitening kit or professional teeth whitening to breath life into your smile.
