Cosmetic Dentistry, Pointing at a Perfect Smile

If you really want to look your best you have to have a perfect smile even if age is against you. This can only happen when your teeth are in perfect shape. Here are some pointers on how to obtain this condition with the help of cosmetic dentistry:

First of all your teeth must have the right color, white of course. As a lot of people know white teeth are hard to obtain and hard to maintain. What cosmetic dentistry can do you may ask: a little bleaching whitens the teeth and of course slight reshaping restores the edges of the teeth to what they were in youth.

Whether we like it or not teeth, with time, will slowly but surely degenerate and cavities will appear. The only way to remediate this is to fill these cavities. In time fillings must be replaced. This is were cosmetic dentistry can improve things: using modern materials for the front and most prominent teeth can cause the dental restoration work to blend in with the general color of the tooth.

Now we will present to you two modern methods to use on your teeth: bonding and veneering

Bonding is the ideal method to use on your crooked teeth. This is what it can do: a synthetic material that looks like natural tooth enamel is bonded to the enamel tooth surface. Because it can be shaped and polished, this material can alter the color, texture, size, shape and even, to an extent, the position of the teeth. The treatment can be applied to the eight to twelve upper front teeth. It lasts from three to six years.

You think that it lasts too little? Well, cosmetic dentistry came with a longer alternative, similar with bonding: veneering -.A thin, hard porcelain veneer is individually made for each tooth to the correct color, size and shape. Porcelain is as durable as the original tooth enamel so the restored tooth will last for decades rather than years. Veneering is often done on front incisor teeth that have been damaged.

Not only are your teeth responsible of your perfect smile, but also your lips. Yes this also can be improved. How? With the help of cosmetic dentistry of course: Thin lips can be treated by using fillers to accentuate the lip line (vermillion border) between the red part of the lips and the normal skin. These fillers are, for example, bovine collagen, or natural hyaluronic acid (Restylane). The effect lasts up to twelve months. The substance of the lip can also be increased by injecting Restyling or even fat from another part of the body into the lip itself. The result, of course, depends on how much and where it is placed.

So how can your smile make you look younger?

Look in the mirror for a few minutes. Decide what parts of your face, and particularly your smile, you would like to rejuvenate using the techniques mentioned above. Then consult with a cosmetic dental surgeon, who can show you an accurate simulation of how treatment would look on your face. It is advisable to do this before going ahead with any cosmetic surgery on your face.
