Did you know that you look attractive when smiling? Research shows that about 69% of people prefer a smiling face with no makeup rather than a non-smiling face. Besides making you beautiful, a smile promotes your immune system and boosts your mood. However, a good smile does not come from anywhere; good-looking and healthy teeth make an attractive smile. Suppose you wish to improve your smile; cosmetic dentistry South Bay specialist Dana Samet focuses on making your smile better through quality and advanced cosmetic dental techniques. Here are details about cosmetic dentistry.
What is cosmetic dentistry?
It is a dental medicine branch that focuses on improving your smile and appearance. Cosmetic dentistry involves dental procedures to restore your natural teeth appearance and enhance your smile. Besides improving your smile, cosmetic dentistry restores and maintains your dental health and function.
Cosmetic dentistry plays a critical role in improving your self-confidence and enhancing a positive impact on your life.
Types of cosmetic dentistry treatments
Several cosmetic dental techniques are available at Dental Art of South Bay, including the following.
Dental implants
They are metal tooth roots placed in your jawbone to replace missing teeth. Over time the tooth roots join with your jawbone to give a robust foundation for your jaw and implants.
Dental implants also stimulate bone growth, prevent bone loss and restore your facial structure and appearance. They help restore your missing teeth, improve your smile and enhance dental function.
Veneers
They are thin shells of porcelain used to cover your teeth’ front surface. Veneers correct various smile issues, such as chipped or cracked teeth, discolored teeth, and misshaped and widely spaced teeth.
They are easy to install and last for years.
Fillings
Cavities are a common problem that lowers your smile quality. Your dental provider uses tooth-colored fillings to repair cavities and replace unwanted silver fillings.
Invisalign
It involves techniques to align and straighten your teeth for a better smile. Invisalign uses custom aligner trays that fit your teeth perfectly. Over time the almost invisible aligners realign your teeth.
Crowns
They are tooth-like caps placed over your teeth. Crowns repair chipped teeth and improve your teeth’ shape, promoting your smile.
Bridges
They replace missing teeth by closing gaps between teeth and attaching a row of crowns.
Laser dentistry
Your provider uses laser energy to improve your smile, including teeth whitening and adjusting your gums.
