Aventura Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is different than general dentistry. While your general dentist focuses on the health of your smile, your cosmetic dentist concentrates on improving the appearance of your smile. Cosmetic dental procedures are usually elective instead of essential, meaning that you choose the work you’d like done in order to make your smile look better. What are some of the most popular types of treatments in cosmetic dentistry.
Bonding
Damaged, discolored or decayed teeth can be repaired using composite resin that is securely attached to the surface of teeth. It is then sculpted and polished to look natural and appealing.
Teeth whitening
The most common treatment of all is teeth whitening, which can be performed at home or in your dentist’s office. Professional methods are the most effective and fast, often achieving numerous shades of brightening in only an hour.
Veneers
Custom-made for every patient, dental veneers are typically created from durable porcelain and attached to the fronts of teeth. The thin shells hide problems like chips, gaps, cracks, discolorations, misalignment and more.
Inlays and Onlays
When a tooth needs a filling but doesn’t have enough structure to support it, inlays and onlays are created using composite resin in a dental lab and placed onto the tooth. They strengthen the tooth, prevent further decay, and restore its shape.
Dental implants
Replacing missing teeth in the most secure and natural way is accomplished through dental implants. A titanium screw is inserted into the jaw to fuse with the bone and later an artificial tooth is placed on top.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are customized to fit over an existing tooth to restore strength and appearance for a tooth that is decayed, broken, misshapen, chipped or gapped. Crowns are also used as part of the dental implant process.
Orthodontics
Many adults are turning to orthodontics through their cosmetic dentist to correct misaligned or unsightly teeth by moving them into better positions. Invisalign clear aligners are a very popular choice for adults seeking orthodontic treatment.
