There is a very basic difference between traditional dentistry and
cosmetic dentistry. The prime objective of traditional dentistry is to
treat oral diseases whereas in case of cosmetic dentistry the appearance
of a person’s teeth and mouth is improved with the help of various
dental treatments.
Dental fillings fall in the category of cosmetic dentistry. These help
in maintaining the natural appearance of ones teeth and smile. The
material used in dental fillings matches the color of teeth. This
material usually is made up of porcelain or composite materials. Many
people now a day are replacing their older fillings with newer one
because these fillings can increase their facial glamour.
A cosmetic dentist is able to improve the appearance of the teeth by
various ways such as bleaching, orthodontics, bonding, implant to name a
few.
A stained or discolored tooth can be lightened by a process known as
bleaching.
If you have broken teeth then tooth colored plastic putty known as
composite resin can be applied over the surface of chipped teeth. This
makes the appearance of the broken teeth quite normal.
Veneers which are thin shells made of porcelain can be used to improve
the appearance of a misshapen and misaligned teeth.
To replace missing teeth implants are done in which the artificial teeth
is attached directly to the jaw to replace missing teeth.
If you are not interested in any of these ways then you have to follow
Preventive Dentistry. The preventive dentistry includes maintaining a
regular check up that includes Oral cancer screening, regular dental
cleanings and restorative treatment.
