Aesthetic
or Cosmetic Dentistry is the answer to peoples ambition to look
beautiful. And lot of advancement has taken place in last 25 years.
It covers a broad range of dental services. Orthodontics and Porcelain Crowns/Bridges are considered as the traditional ways of smile enhancement simply because they have been in use the longest.
Before aesthetic procedures begin, complete check-up should be done, treatment planned and then thorough cleaning is done.

Bleaching living teeth has become enormously popular and successful. With bleaching,
you can have whiter teeth in just 2-3 weeks. All it takes is wearing a
custom-made tray with the bleaching gel for about two hours per day or
overnight while you sleep

Bonding
is a restorative procedure performed to repair a damaged tooth that is
either worn, chipped, decayed or discolored. After removing the damaged
area, we "bond" or attach a tooth colored material called composite
resin onto the tooth. Bonding is also an effective way to close a small space or gap between two teeth.

| PORCELAIN VENEERS / LAMINATES
|
Veneers
are a thin layer of porcelain, the same material used to make
tooth-colored crowns or caps, which once cemented to the tooth, act and
appear like normal, natural tooth structure. These restorations need
little or no tooth structure removal for attachment and are extremely
pleasing aesthetically.

Gum contouring is another conservative procedure which
can make a significant contribution to the enhancement of a smile.Bone
material grafting in deficient places in the mouth enhances the
appearance of the gums and improves the emergence profile of the tooth.
For a chin that is less than perfect, implanted fillers can be placed
to augment deficiencies.

Enamel shaping is a process of contouring natural
teeth to improve their overall appearance. When teeth are slightly
crowded or uneven, or when teeth appear too long, enamel shaping may be
used to correct the flaw. This process cannot solve all problems,
however. Crowded teeth may need braces. Enamel shaping, which is often
combined with bonding, is usually quick and painless. No anesthesia is
needed when shaping the enamel, and the results can be seen immediately.
It should be approached with caution, however, because enamel cannot be
replaced. |
