Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures To Consider

By Harry Izzo


With the help of your dentist it is now possible to not only have a whiter smile, but a healthier one as well. These days there are many cost-effective solutions available to you. Your local dental practitioner now offers a wide variety of cosmetic dentistry procedures, as commonplace as Botox and collagen treatment. Even though the cosmetic procedures are not included in dental insurance policies, the results still give patients a lot to brag about.

A smile makeover involves a combination of treatments. A makeover is needed if you have a variety of dental problems. Teeth whitening to remove stains can set you back several hundred dollars, but it pays off in the future. It is the first solution for stained teeth, alternatively there are veneers and even dental crowns to cover up the stains that bleaching cannot.

Sometimes teeth do not respond to a bleaching process. Your dentist will know the best option for you and your stained teeth. One determining factor will be the health of your teeth. Teeth whitening is the normal treatment and is affordable enough to be paid in full, in spite of the fact that it is not covered by insurance.

Insurance does not cover cosmetic treatment. Most dental treatments are looked on as cosmetic, since their priority is to improve the outward appearance of your teeth. Some procedures have tremendous benefits. For example, cosmetic dentistry can replace tooth loss. It can also solve the gaps in your teeth that affect the alignment and form of your bite. Any improper bite leads to worn, chipped or decayed teeth. A full set of aligned teeth is critical to oral health.

Your local dental practitioner can fix your teeth using more than the traditional set of dentures. He can place dental bridges in your mouth to solve any gaps that exist. By comparison, a bridge is more reliable and a much more permanent solution. If money is a problem for you then dental implants is a good alternative.

The benefits of dental implants are that they can replace lost teeth with porcelain replicas. The feel and function of having all your natural teeth is restored when implants are used.

These days a dentist can use his various skills to bring back your natural looking smile. For severe cases, a combination of treatments may well be needed. For some patients, before any cosmetic treatment is done, a dentist has to fix any unhealthy areas of the mouth first. If you want a complete smile makeover consider having a combination of dental treatments done.
