Cosmetic dentistry procedures are some of the most popular types of situations that dental professionals find themselves helping their patients with. Cosmetic dentistry is the process of making someone’s teeth and gums look better after years of staining and damage done over many years. When it comes to a cosmetic dentist, Brookridge residents might not know exactly how they can help them, or with what issues they can try to find a solution for. Here are some of the more popular cosmetic dentistry procedures that a dentist might be handling for one or more of their patients on a regular basis.
Teeth Whitening and bleaching
There is probably not a single person who doesn’t wish that they have white and bright teeth. Over many years, the foods and drinks we consume can drastically affect the color of our teeth, and leave them stained even though there is nothing wrong with the teeth health wise. When talking to a cosmetic dentist, Brookridge residents should ask them if they think they are a good candidate for teeth whitening or teeth bleaching. This is one way that a cosmetic dentist can help remove the cosmetic stains on teeth to reverent them back to their white and bright self. These procedures are not the same as applying over the counter whitening strips over many months to improve the whiteness of some teeth.
Fillings and Dental Caps
Dental fillings are very functional, and they do more than just change the look of a tooth. But not all teeth need fillings from tooth decay. Some people have broken or chipped a tooth in a work related or sports related injury, and they are not confident in the way that their teeth look anymore. When it comes to a cosmetic dentist, Brookridge residents may want to consider getting fillings, dental caps, or veneers to fix a cosmetic issue with one or more teeth. Keep in mind that an insurance company may not cover these items unless they are seen as a way to prevent further damage or further tooth decay.
