The Role Of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the aesthetic and functional nature of your teeth, while general dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and the task of preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease and dental problems.

A cosmetic dentistry treatment can completely transform the appearance of your smile; if you want to enhance your aesthetic profile then you would consider having a cosmetic procedure carried out by a cosmetic dentist.  Cosmetic dentistry offers many cosmetic and restorative options for people who are unhappy with their smile.

Some common cosmetic dentistry treatments include teeth whitening to remove stains and discolouring from teeth or invisalign invisible braces, which allow you to straighten your teeth without anyone knowing.  Dental implants and porcelain veneers are popular options for those who want to replace missing teeth or improve the appearance of warn and chipped teeth. Cosmetic dentistry also offers complete smile makeovers and full mouth reconstruction which involve a comprehensive assessment of your smile aesthetics and structure in order to improve the overall appearance and functionality.

A smile makeover treatment will usually involve two or more cosmetic procedures, such as teeth whitening, dental implants and gum sculpting. Cosmetic dentistry procedures are customised to each patient’s specific oral situation, in order to achieve the best results.

Cosmetic dentistry also provides restorative benefits. For instance, dental fillings are a common procedure used for treatment of decayed teeth. Previously, most dental fillings were composed of amalgam, gold and other materials that left noticeable dark spots on the teeth. With enhancements in cosmetic dentistry there are now ceramic and plastic materials that imitate the appearance of natural teeth. White tooth fillings bled perfectly with your tooth enamel, for a natural looking smile.
Your smile is the greatest representation of you, depicting your emotion and demeanour in any situation.

Cosmetic Dentistry is the blend of art and dental science, designed to give you the smile of your dreams.  If you are unsure as to the enhancements you might like to include within your smile makeover, you should find a cosmetic dentist and make an appointment to discuss the treatment option best for your oral situation.

Preventative Dentistry and Gum Disease

By: Dr David Cox BDS | 09/08/2009 | Dental Care
Gum or periodontal disease involves the gradual build up of plaque and its subsequent hardening to form a layer of tartar, providing a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. This bacteria is the primary cause for infection to the immediate areas of gum and surrounding teeth. As infection progresses through the gums, the tooth enamel can become loose around the teeth and gums and cause the gums to recede. This can result in a pocket developing, in which more bacteria can multiply exacerbating the problem.
