3. Cosmetic Dentistry with The Art of Dentistry • What is Cosmetic Dentistry? o Cosmetic dentistry is an in-catchment term used to refer to any kind of general dental work that improves the look of the mouth, gums or teeth. This can also mean someone’s over bite or jaw in general. It focuses mainly on something called dental aesthetic, which, once again just means improvements in colour, size, shape, position and the look of a patients smile in general. • Cosmetic Dentistry Services Available Today o Smile Make-Overs. This is a customised treatment that combines several different dentistry services to make a perfect smile. This will help to fix several problems that you may not like about your teeth: overlaps, odd shapes, crookedness, chips, cracks, gaps and stains. These makeovers typically consist of gum contouring, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, Invisalign and dental crowns.

4. Cosmetic Dentistry with The Art of Dentistry o Invisalign, or invisible braces. This a more discreet version of the very obvious metal brace that some people might feel self-conscious wearing as an adult. All it does is realign your teeth like the other more traditional braces would. They will gradually straighten out your smile and can reduce any anxious feelings of self-consciousness. o Porcelain Veneers. Porcelain veneers are used generally to cover up small dental blemishes and imperfections while also enhancing the best natural features of your smile. The veneers are very thin shells made from ceramics that are made to blend naturally with your teeth. They usually require multiple trips to your dentist to apply but the results are well worth it. A small layer of enamel is removed from the pre-existing tooth, impressions of the teeth will be made with temporary veneers being put in place during the crafting period. After roughly two weeks or so, the custom-made veneers will be ready for application. o Teeth Whitening. Teeth whitening is a popular and simple procedure performed in many places. There are two types of teeth whitening procedures: in-office, using a Zoom whitening system, teeth will be brightened considerably in up to ten days with one quick visit. There is also the take home option wherein patients wear specialised dishes containing gel over a short period of time. It doesn’t matter what type of bleaching you use, preliminary treatment is offered using Fluoridex which is a kind of special paste that is used to reduce or numb any painful tooth sensitivity.

5. The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry Higher self-esteem. If you are self-conscious about the way your smile looks, this can obviously lead to low self-esteem and very low confidence. Going through any kind of cosmetic dentistry can help boost your morale and make you feel more comfortable within yourself. Durability. Cosmetic dentistry is known to have results that last for years. This is a great advantage as it limits the amount of money needed to spend on dental bills over the years as well as the time allocated to any practices or procedures. There is also less chance of needing to go back and have your teeth re-examined or maintained. Amazing results. Cosmetic dentistry provides good and fast results that will ensure you are never self-conscious about your smile or your teeth ever again. Teeth can be made as white as the day they first grew, stains and blemishes completely removed. Any sign of damage can be covered up through bridges, braces and various other procedures. Cosmetic dentistry is available to anyone, even if the condition is infection, hereditary, a general illness or damage caused by trauma. • • •

6. The Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry World wide access. Cosmetic dentistry is available to everyone (excluding remote areas, travelling will be required in such instances). There are no limits, restrictions or discrimination regarding cosmetic dentistry. Treatment is open to anyone. Price. Even though in the past any kind of cosmetic surgery – even in dentistry – was very expensive, due to the technological advancements of today the prices have dropped drastically. This affordability makes it highly accessible to patients. However, some insurance companies will not cover cosmetic dentistry so always check that you are covered. Recovery time. The great thing about cosmetic dentistry is that unlike other bigger cosmetic operations, the recovery period is not as long or as intensive. There is also very little pain involved as it is such a small area. • • •

7. The Ins and Outs Of Dental Implants Dental implants are small titanium bars that are placed in the patients jawbone through a small surgical procedure. They serve to replace any damaged or missing roots within the teeth as well as providing stability for any dentures or crowns. These implants will keep the new restorations and changes stable and firm during any daily process – such as chewing and speaking. There is also no need to worry about unnatural or even harmful substances in your mouth as the titanium is biocompatible. This means that the metal pins will fuse with your jawbone naturally, this is otherwise known as osseointegration. These implants function just like the natural roots of your teeth do as they were deigned impeccably. They also last for the rest of your life, with no possibility of degrading, coming out or becoming damaged. There is absolutely no need to ever go through the procedure again after you have the first time. There are actually two different types of dental implants available today. This is because different materials and procedures exist for different afflictions. For example, Weiss replaces one missing tooth with an implant that is there to support the crown. If you are missing more than one tooth however, then an implant-retained bridge will be more suited for your needs as it would permanently fill the gap in your gum line. And finally, if you are missing an entire row of teeth, either on the top or bottom of your mouth, implant-supported dentures can be a more comfortable and less inconvenient choice over the more widely known removable dentures. • •

8. All On 4 Dental Treatment Verses Other Implants • All On 4 implants are different. Firstly, they are fixed into the gap caused by missing teeth in a rear angle that minimises pain and discomfort – which would be caused if they were fitted horizontally. This means there is no possibility of them slipping or becoming distorted like there is with removable dentures. This makes it much easier for the wearer to talk and eat without any embarrassment or discomfort. They are also less cumbersome to the patient as they do not cover as large a surface area. Removable dentures cover the entirety of the mouth while All On 4 covers only a small percentile of the actual gum. This makes the patient a lot more comfortable as the implants do not have to take up huge amounts of the limited space in their mouth. Also, the join is hidden behind the lips and thus the implants will not be exposed when the wearer smiles. This makes people feel much less self-conscious about their smiles. • Usually, when replacing a lot of missing teeth in a jaw requires a mixture of single-tooth implants as well as dental bridges. Both of these techniques involve drilling holes and sockets into the jaw bone for eight to ten implants. However, All On 4 requires a significantly lower number of implants – four. This is cheaper and a lot more comfortable for the patient. Less materials and time are required for this one-day process with almost no recovery time needed. There will be no six-month healing period when a patient has All On 4 implants.

9. The benefits of Dental Implants Durability. These implants, if well taken care of, will last for years, if not an entire lifetime. Comfort. The implants will fuse to your jawbone through a process called osteointegration. They become a part of your mouth and therefore are not as awkward as removable dentures. Appearance. Because the implants merge with the jawline, they feel like any other tooth would. They do not look as cumbersome as removable dentures and bridges do. Convenience. It can be cumbersome, constantly removing and caring for dentures. Not to mention sometimes embarrassing for the wearer. Dental implants completely eradicate any need to remove your dentures. • • • •

10. The benefits of Dental Implants Easy food consumption. Removable dentures have a tendency to slip and slide during any strenuous mouth or jaw movement and this can make eating very difficult. But as dental implants act as your own teeth they remain in place while chewing and thus make eating easier. This also reduces the pain that can sometimes be caused by dentures while chewing with any force. Improved speech. Due to removable dentures often slipping and impeding tongue movement, talking can become difficult as the saliva builds up in the mouth and causes slurring and drooling. But with dental implants it is guaranteed that they won’t slip or cause any of these problems. A boost in morale and self-esteem. Dental implants mean that you will never have to hide your smile again for fear of your dentures slipping out of place. There will be no gaps in your teeth or any unfortunate slips with your dentures again as the implants become part of your bone structure. Oral Health. Other dental procedures regarding bridges and things often have to reduce or file away at the existing teeth surrounding the afflicted area, this is not the case with dental implants. No teeth need to be altered as the implant sustains and supports itself. This means your long term oral hygiene and health improves vastly. The implants also allow access between teeth which make them easier to clean and improves their health. • • • •
