Goals and Benefits of Dental Aesthetics
The goal of dental aesthetics is to improve the harmony and beauty of smiles. Treatments to boost dental aesthetics may involve improving the color, size, position, shape, and alignment of teeth, the overall smile appearance, the gums, and jaw structure. Dental aesthetics take the entire face into consideration to achieve the right balance between the mouth and the rest of the facial elements.
When improving dental aesthetics, our team uses both technical and artistic skills. This is a benefit as it allows patients to receive great aesthetic results and functional ones. People who receive cosmetic treatments to improve their smiles can benefit from a more attractive appearance and greater self-confidence.

Popular Dental Aesthetics Procedures
Several factors can go into yellowing teeth, making tooth whitening one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures on the market. Consuming certain foods, beverages, and medications can all discolor or stain the teeth, as can taking certain medications. While at-home tooth whitening kits may seem like an economical alternative, in-office whitening or whitening kits recommended by a dentist are the main ways to ensure safe, optimal results.
Dental aesthetics can also account for replacing missing teeth and other procedures. Bridges and implants are two common tooth replacement options. Bridges are also known as fixed partial dentures and are only anchored onto surrounding teeth once prepared for crowns. Implants, on the other hand, are surgically implanted into the jawbone to replace one or more teeth. These are known as restorative procedures because they restore both the appearance and functionality of the mouth.

Dental Aesthetics and Gum-Related Issues
Dental aesthetics can also help with problems like gum recession. Several options are available, including:
- Composite restoration
- Dentin bonding agents
- Desensitizing agents
- Orthodontics
- Pink porcelain or composite
- Removable gum veneers
- Surgery
People looking for a natural-looking, tooth-colored option may want to opt for composite restorations, which cover the surface of the tooth root and may fill any gaps between the teeth. Furthermore, dentin bonding agents, desensitizing agents, and varnishes may reduce the sensitivity of the exposed tooth root. This can assist the patient in brushing sensitive teeth and, thus, promote their overall oral hygiene.
Those in need of more long-term treatment may want to consider orthodontics, or braces, to slowly correct teeth and the margin of the gum. More severe cases of gum recession may necessitate surgery, usually in the form of a gum graft.

Cosmetic Dentistry and Orthodontics
Orthodontics refers to the usage of braces and retainers to correct irregularities of the teeth, such as crooked teeth and misaligned bites (also known as malocclusions). In more severe cases, orthodontics may prepare a patient for surgery. There are three distinct classes of malocclusions: Class 1 is when the upper teeth slightly overlap the lower teeth, Class 2 is when the upper teeth significantly overlap the lower teeth, and Class 3 is when the lower teeth significantly overlap the upper teeth.
Symptoms of malocclusion can range from minor to severe. Not only does it affect the patient's appearance, but it may also result in discomfort when chewing or biting. It may cause the patient to frequently bite the inner cheeks or tongue, develop a lisp, or even breathe through the mouth rather than the nose. A cosmetic dentist can correct any irregularities for optimal oral function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does teeth whitening improve dental aesthetics?
A. Teeth whitening occurs through the use of peroxide-based bleaching agents. Whitening treatments from a dental professional are more effective and safer than over-the-counter whitening systems. There are various professional teeth whitening methods, from in-office treatment to take-home kits. People who are interested in whitening their teeth should contact us for information about our available options.
Q. Is teeth whitening painful?
A. Teeth whitening is not painful. However, it can cause some temporary discomfort from temperature sensitivity. People should have teeth whitening under professional supervision to ensure safe treatment.
Q. What filling materials do general dentists use?
A. General dentists may provide amalgam fillings or composite fillings. Many patients prefer composite fillings as they are a more aesthetically pleasing alternative. They consist of a safe resin material that is tooth-colored and blends in with natural teeth.
Q. How do veneers improve dental aesthetics?
A. Veneers are thin, tooth-colored coverings placed over the front of teeth. They can improve the aesthetics of chipped, discolored, disproportionately sized, or broken teeth. Placing veneers can result in a more even and symmetrical smile.
Q. How do braces work?
A. Braces are an orthodontic appliance that correct misaligned teeth and jaws. They apply steady, gentle pressure on teeth to move them into alignment over time. There are various types of braces available depending on the patient's preferences and orthodontic needs. People should contact our team for more information about our available orthodontic options.
