While everyone can appreciate the bright, flashy smiles of Hollywood celebrities and stars, not everyone has such teeth. To get teeth that looks spectacular will require cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry is the dental practice of improving the appearance of the teeth, gums or bite. Some of these procedures can be very simple and done in a single visit. Other procedures are more complex and require several visits. A Cosmetic Dentist in Toms River NJ treats patients in all the procedures required for the improvement of dental work.
Here are some of these procedures.
• One of the procedures that is widely used is that of teeth whitening. This procedure is chosen because it is not as expensive as some of the other procedures, and the results can be far-reaching. Different teeth whitening techniques are used to remove the stains caused by things such as smoking and coffee.
• Veneers are also popular for those seeking cosmetic restoration of their teeth. The most favored material for veneers is porcelain. Veneers are laminates that are placed on the teeth to help with changing the color, correcting the shape and closing in gaps of those imperfect teeth.
• For those who have missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry offers dental bridges, partial dentures, dental implants and full dentures. With bridges, false teeth are affixed between two crowns, and are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are not removable, however. For teeth that can be removed, partial dentures are an option. If all the teeth are missing, then a full set of dentures or either dental implants may be opted for.
• Other things a cosmetic dentist does include braces, traditional as well as Invisalign clear brace aligners.
