In the world of dentistry, there are two distinct and different sides of the profession. There is what’s considered “regular dentistry,” with its health and oral hygiene checkups and treatments that we all start to have as children and carry on into adulthood. On the other hand, there is cosmetic dentistry, which is mainly elective, centered around ensuring that your teeth look as great as possible.
Cosmetic dentistry in Burbank at our practice can do exactly that, and the wide array of procedures that are available means that you can pretty much have any kind of issue resolved to boost your self confidence and improve the way you feel about your smile (and general dental appearance). Here are just a few of the most popular ways in which cosmetic dentistry can enhance your smile.
You will note that although there is a distinction between regular and cosmetic dentistry, the same dental practice will usually offer a range of treatments across the two disciplines, unlike medical and cosmetic surgery where practices are usually dedicated to one stream.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is one of the most commonly undertaken cosmetic dental procedures. Any combination of modern day dietary and habit factors can lead to stained and discolored teeth, and whitening is a treatment that is non-invasive and simple. It can restore your self confidence and provide you with a much more aesthetically pleasing smile for important photos and everyday social interactions. You might want to consider teeth whitening if you are someone with a history of smoking, drinking wine or coffee, because those are leading factors in discoloration.
Dental Implants
Missing teeth in the visible parts of the mouth are something that can cause a lot of anguish and dental implants are the best solution for alleviating that anguish. Natural looking implants can be color matched to their neighboring real teeth in order to look completely authentic. They are screwed into the jawbone and are designed to be a permanent replacement for the lost tooth.
Veneers
Another of the most common requests in cosmetic dentistry in Burbank is for veneers. Veneers are a wafer-thin sliver of dental porcelain that are fitted to existing teeth to alter their appearance. They can be used to alter the color, shape, size, and even the length of the natural teeth. Think of veneers almost as a kind of dental retainer that is designed to clip over and cover the area in question, leaving you with a row of real looking and perfectly sculpted teeth that will definitely bring back your smile. There are several different options when it comes to veneers: some people prefer to opt for a detachable veneer set, whilst others want something more permanent and opt for permanent coverage.
