Cosmetic Dentistry And The Ultimate Smile Make-over

By Andrew Jacobsen

Cosmetic dentistry has become so common place in our world today that it has become extremely noticeable when you notice someone with yellowing teeth! Everyone seems to be having whitening or veneers treatments.

Consultation between yourself and the cosmetic dentistry specialist will include the choice of veneers - porcelain or bonded composites.

Some of us attempt to get cosmetic procedures carried out by our regular dentist, only to end up feeling disappointed when he cannot or will not carry out those smile makeovers we so desire. Let's be honest -there are no short cuts. To have a smile makeover is going to be expensive. It will not be done by our usual dentist. It will have to be carried out by someone who has experience in the specialized line of cosmetic dentistry.

Today, not even fillings need to be amalgam. In fact there are schools of thought that amalgam fillings (which contain small amounts of mercury) could actually cause illnesses in the body. As a result, many people are choosing to have their amalgams replaced with either porcelain or other white dental bonding products made to match the color of their teeth.

Having found a good cosmetic dentist, you will no doubt have molds taken of your teeth. From this, the cosmetic dentist will be able to work with a professional dental mechanic in providing you with the most suitable crowns, veneers, bonded composites or implants to suit your coloring and desires.

Good cosmetic dentistry should also include the input of a maxo-oral facial specialist who will be able to correct structural defects of the jaw and bite. Not as simple as you thought? You're right! Tread carefully and utilize cosmetic dentistry in all it's fullness for the best results. - 30292
