Cosmetic Dentistry: Innovations for More Treatment Options

Esthetic Dentistry (Esthetics) is a modern innovative dental treatment that saves time for a bright smile and restores confidence. The highlight is caring for the beauty of the teeth along with good dental health. Esthetic dentistry commonly used in our country includes veneers or teeth whitening to enhance the appearance of the teeth.

Considerations… before dental treatment

It must start by considering whether the problem lies in the alignment of the teeth, the teeth themselves, or the gums. If the problem is with the alignment of the teeth, correction will be done by an orthodontic specialist. If the problem is with the gums, gum surgery is required. If there is an abnormality in the teeth, such as small tooth size, incomplete tooth tips, or abnormal tooth shape, we can add to the teeth, which can be done through fillings, veneers, or crowns depending on the patient’s case.

Consulting a dentist… more important than you think

Most of the time, there should be a discussion with the dentist about how much correction is desired. The dentist can create a mock-up or oral simulation for the patient to consider. The patient can see whether the result will be beautiful or not from their perspective. Therefore, we simulate to show how many methods there are and let the patient choose how much and what they want to do.

Patients often do not know what options are available or how much correction is possible. They need to come and discuss with the dentist or a specialist in restorative esthetic dentistry to understand that there are many options to choose from. For example, if someone wants to improve the appearance of their teeth, in some cases, it may not be possible to correct it with orthodontics alone, so esthetic restorative dentistry may be needed, or sometimes both methods must be combined.

Esthetic dentistry… provides more options for patients

In cases where older people do not want to undergo orthodontic treatment due to work reasons, feeling that it looks unprofessional because of wearing braces, or professional restrictions that prevent it, esthetic restorative dentistry can be an additional opportunity and option to solve the patient’s problem.
