Cosmetic Dentistry

In the recent era, cosmetic dentistry is getting popular, and our specialised dentists in Toothway Dental have a wide range of tools and techniques for improving your smile and esthetics.

How to fix Your Chipped Front Teeth?

An individual’s primary concern is about the facial look. The space between the two front teeth, broken due to trauma, stained, or cracked tooth, gives an unpleasant appearance to the face.

The dentist solves the issue by bonding the tooth with a tooth-coloured restoration. It is usually a single visit procedure. An etchant, followed by a bonding agent and composite resin, is applied over the tooth surface. It blends with the tooth surface and gives an esthetic look. After polishing, the teeth give a natural look.

When Should you Choose Veneers?

The teeth with dark stains, more spaces between teeth, worn-off teeth surface, and crooked teeth can be corrected using veneers. It provides a unique appearance to the teeth. Before bonding the teeth with veneers, the dentist makes an impression on your teeth. Then the veneer is cemented to teeth using a UV light.

What is the Purpose of a Crown?

The crown is often mentioned as caps. As the name says, it covers the misshapen tooth, root canal treated tooth, broken tooth, implants, strengthens the tooth with a large filling, or a discoloured tooth. A crown and bridge replace a missing tooth. Two to three crowns are held together using a bridge. It is usually made of porcelain or ceramic.

What is Enameloplasty?

The dentist recontours the irregular surface or sharpness in the tooth using a procedure called enameloplasty. It is a quick, painless conservative cosmetic procedure used to improve tooth appearance. It involves the risk of reducing the enamel thickness. So this procedure should be carefully considered before the treatment. It is often used in combination with other procedures like veneers or bonding.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

The discolouration or stains in teeth can be removed using bleaching. The dentist uses the right amount of chemical called hydrogen peroxide in a custom tray to whiten the teeth. This procedure takes around 1 hour. Be it a coffee stain or a food stain; it is removed in the teeth whitening process.

Cosmetic Dentistry for Gummy Smile

Too much gum tissue makes the upper front teeth appear shorter than normal. The excess tissue is removed by a technique called crown lengthening.

It improves the confidence to smile. A laser gum removal technique is a painless technique, and aesthetic results can be achieved in a few minutes.

Can Ceramic Braces Correct the Malaligned Teeth?

Some teens prefer ceramic or plastic braces over metal braces for aesthetic purposes. It improves the irregular bite, repositions the teeth and corrects the jaw position. A thin wire is used to guide the teeth. The wire and ceramic braces apply pressure over the teeth similar to metal braces for a few months and align the teeth to a proper position. A lingual braces (braces facing the tongue) placed at the back of teeth remain hidden but serve the function.

What are Facial Cosmetic Surgeries?

• Scar removal – Using the laser resurfacing method, the upper layers of the scar are removed painlessly. This method induces the formation of new skin underneath.
• Mole removal – The moles can be removed using the cosmetic surgical shave technique. It is usually preferred for dark moles present in sensitive areas.
• Wart removal – Cryotherapy is used to remove unnecessary warts. Specialised cryogen equipment is used along with the liquid nitrogen to remove warts without pain.

What is Cosmetic Chin Augmentation Surgery?

The chin augmentation procedure helps in balancing the facial appearance by reshaping the chin depending on the nose size. It is usually preferred for individuals with receding chin. An Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon enhances the chin size by placing an implant or by positioning the jaw bones.
