Procedures to Acquire a Better Smile

Porcelain Veneers

Veneers are thin, beautiful, shell-like restorations that the dentist places over the front surface of the teeth. In this way, it will help in concealing the flaws present underneath. Veneers look just like the natural tooth enamel and help in fixing dental issues including stains, discoloration, chipped or worn teeth, misshapen teeth, or the teeth that have gaps between them.

Teeth whitening 

Teeth whitening is considered as one of the simplest and widely-preferred cosmetic dental solutions. The teeth might get discolored over time due to our food habits, aging, medications, etc. The two most common ways through which your teeth can be whitened are:

In-office treatment:  An in-office whitening treatment is a quick and painless process that gives a long-lasting result. The dentist places a peroxide-based gel that provides the whitening effect.

At-home treatment:  Through the at-home treatment kit, only extrinsic stains can be removed. It usually includes whitening toothpaste, whitening rinses, and tray-based tooth whiteners.

Dental bonding

This process is also a veneer process that helps in repairing a small stain or chip. It can reinstate the full natural appeal of the tooth and the smile as well.

Crowns and bridges

Dental crowns are caps that help in covering the underlying tooth. Crowns can help restore a severely damaged, a deep cavity, or a deep crack in the tooth. A dental bridge can also help in replacing the missing teeth. It can give you back the ability to speak, chew, and also smile.
