A person’s smile is one of the most eye-catching features of the face. Stained, chipped, crocked or missing teeth can remove focus from the spoken words when talking face to face with other people. An unattractive smile can even cause low self-esteem. Cosmetic dentistry relates to all treatments that are performed to enhance the patient’s dental appearance.
Here is a list of some of the most common cosmetic treatments:
Whitening/Bleaching
White teeth look healthier than stained or discoloured teeth.
Correct the shape of a crocked or misplaced tooth.
Veneers
Correct minor damages on teeth or brighten the teeth considerably.
Amalgam sanitation
Silvery fillings are replaced with tooth-coloured fillings.
Braces
Correct crocked teeth. Can be done from the inside.
More will follow on these treatments.
