In the world of cosmetic dentistry, there are a number of cosmetic procedures which you could opt for to have a more captivating and whiter smile. But to some people, the effect of getting these cosmetic procedures goes more than just having a perfect smile. To some individuals, these procedures can bring back their self-esteem and give them confidence which they never had. Here are some of the commonly performed cosmetic dental procedures:
Bleaching
From your diet to the medications which you take, there are a number of ways that you could stain your teeth. There are two ways that you can whiten your teeth. The first procedure involves a trip to Central Dental in either Little Rock, Conway, or Jacksonville, AR. In-house, professional whitening procedures work immediately and results can be seen right away. This is because chemicals used for these professional beaching procedures contain higher amounts of hydrogen peroxide which is why they should only be used by trained professionals. On the other hand, over-the-counter whitening kits are more affordable and are safe to be used by average reasonable individuals. The only drawback is that it might take longer to see the results.
Bonding
This procedure involves the filling in of gaps with a tooth-colored material which can be done in just one visit to Central Dental. Bonding is also another way to change the color of teeth either because of extensive tooth decay. The bonding material can also be used to fill in small cavities and gaps. The only disadvantage of this procedure is that the material used could stain or chip in time.
Crowns
This procedure covers teeth which have been damage either through mechanical action (breaking and chipping off) or due to tooth decay. Crowns, or caps as they are otherwise called, restore the natural appearance of a tooth and last the longest although completing this procedure is extremely time consuming.
Veneers
This procedure is considered an alternative to crowns, which can be rather expensive. Veneers only cover the front of your teeth and are useful for correcting chipped, stained, crooked and gapped teeth. Central Dental will get an impression of your teeth so that a veneer could be made which fits your teeth snugly. Patients may need to visit Central Dental two or three times because veneers have to be manufactured in a laboratory. However, compared to bonding works, veneers have a longer life expectancy.
Call Central Dental in Little Rock, Conway, or Jacksonville, AR to discuss which option is best for getting your smile back on track.
