Popular Cosmetic Dental Trends

With all of the new advancements in dental technology, cosmetic trends are on the rise. Cosmetic dental treatments appear more natural and are certainly more durable than dental materials used in the past. Dentists can now preserve more of the natural tooth structure when providing cosmetic treatment to patients.

Popular Cosmetic Treatment Options

  • Teeth whitening is the most popular and most commonly recommended cosmetic treatment. Discoloration or stains due to normal eating and drinking habits can ruin the enamel on your teeth and leave you with a less than appealing smile.
  • Dental implants replace missing teeth. This is a surgical procedure that replaces tooth roots with a metal screw-like post. Inlays and Onlays are indirect fillings made of composite or porcelain materials. They are used on teeth that are decayed or have structural damage.
  • Porcelain veneers are made of composite or porcelain laminates that are placed over damaged, chipped or crooked teeth using a bonded adhesive. If you have been unsuccessful with teeth whitening, porcelain veneers are another alternative.
  • Composite bonding is used to restore chipped, broken, decayed or discolored teeth. A composite material that looks like enamel is applied to the surface of a tooth or cavity and then shaped.
  • Smile makeovers involve more than one cosmetic procedure. The dentist may have to use a combination of cosmetic procedures such as veneers, implants, sculpting or whitening depending on the condition of your teeth and mouth.
  • Full Mouth Reconstruction is used to correct functional problems with your teeth, muscles, bone structure and bite.
