Cosmetic dentistry is the science and art of improving your teeth’ appearance, function, and feeling. It is a combination of all the dental procedures that are used to make your teeth look better. A cosmetic dentist provides general dental services as well as specialized procedures which involve improving the aesthetic appearance of your teeth. Hinna Chaudhry, DMD, and her team can also eliminate unwanted gum tissue and bone loss around your mouth.

Cosmetic dentistry involves many different procedures to improve your teeth look from every angle. These include:

Braces (metal, ceramic, or plastic)

Braces are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment, and cosmetic dentists use them to straighten crooked teeth. They connect metal, ceramic or plastic braces to your teeth with wires and brackets.

Braces are ideal for correcting crowded front teeth and small gaps between the upper and lower teeth. Specialists also use braces to correct crossbites, overbites, and short palates (overbite). Braces are often more comfortable than other types of treatment because they don’t have to be worn for long periods each day.

Teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry procedure for people who want to improve their smile. The treatment can make your teeth look brighter and whiter, giving your smile a more even appearance.

It involves using a bleaching agent on your teeth to lighten them and make them look whiter. The bleaching agent attaches itself to the tooth’s surface and starts to break down the material it is made of, which causes it to become more porous. As this happens, small amounts of light are reflected towards your eyes, making them appear brighter.

Your dentists will give you an anesthetic beforehand, so you do not feel any pain during the procedure.

Tooth bonding

Tooth bonding is a cosmetic procedure involving the placement of a small composite resin and a dental implant used to repair damaged teeth. Combining these two materials provides strength and durability to your smile and makes it more attractive.

Bonding is used to fill in gaps between the teeth to look more uniform and complete. Bonding may be used for aesthetic reasons as well as for functional reasons.

For example, if you have a small gap between two teeth, bonding can be used to close it up. If you have crooked or uneven teeth, bonding may also be able to correct that.

Implants

Implants are an excellent option for patients who have lost a lot of teeth or have not been able to afford to replace the teeth they have lost. Dentists use them to replace missing teeth. Cosmetic dentists use implants in place of dentures, bridges, or other restorative dental procedures. Many different types of implants are available, including the GFO (gummy-fiber) implant, made from a polyethylene-based material modified with a polyvinyl alcohol base to increase its durability and resistance to bacterial attack. That makes it ideal for people who want their implants to last longer than traditional metal or ceramic ones.
