Esthetic

Aesthetic dentistry, also known as cosmetic dentistry, focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and overall smile. Here are some common procedures and techniques used in aesthetic dentistry:

Teeth Whitening: This is one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures. It involves bleaching the teeth to remove stains and discoloration, resulting in a brighter smile.

Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells of porcelain or composite resin that cover the front surface of the teeth. Veneers can improve the color, shape, size, or length of the teeth.

Dental Bonding: Involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the teeth and hardening it with a special light. This can repair chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth.

Inlays and Onlays: These are indirect fillings made from porcelain or composite materials. They are used to repair decayed or damaged teeth.

Dental Crowns: Caps placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.

Orthodontics: Braces or clear aligners (like Invisalign) are used to straighten crooked or misaligned teeth.

Gum Contouring: Also known as gum reshaping, this procedure involves removing excess gum tissue to improve the appearance of the gum line.

Dental Implants: Artificial tooth roots made of titanium, placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth.

Composite Fillings: Tooth-colored fillings used to repair decayed teeth or improve their appearance.

Smile Makeovers: Comprehensive treatment plans that involve multiple cosmetic dental procedures to achieve the desired smile.
