What Are Some Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures?

Six major cosmetic dentistry procedures are veneers, inlays & onlays, composite bonding, teeth whitening, dental implants, and dental crowns.

Veneers

Veneers are a custom-made ceramic cap that goes over your natural teeth. They look extremely realistic and are often used to fix crooked teeth, cracked or damaged enamel, and gaps between teeth. The veneer will be attached to the front of your tooth and will blend right in.

Inlays & Onlays

You may have heard inlays and onlays referred to as indirect fillings. These are used if a tooth has mild or moderate decay but does not have enough tooth structure to use a traditional filling. If the tooth cusps have no damage, an inlay is placed on the tooth’s surface. An onlay is used if either the cusp or a large part of the tooth is damaged. The onlay will cover the entire surface of the tooth.

Inlays and onlays used to be made of gold, but nowadays, they are made from porcelain or ceramic materials. They attach to your teeth with dental cement, and they provide support to help strengthen your teeth, restore their shape, and avoid further decay.

Composite Bonding

If your teeth are decayed, damaged, or discolored, your dentist may use composite bonding to fix them. This process involves the dentist drilling out the problem and applying a composite material to your tooth. The dentist will then sculpt the composite into the proper shape and cure it using a high-intensity light. The composite bonding process covers the damage in your tooth and leaves it looking like a healthy tooth. 

Teeth Whitening

One of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures is teeth whitening. You can complete it at home or in one doctor’s office visit. At the office, the dental hygienist will remove any tartar, plaque, or other debris from your teeth. Then, they will use a bleaching agent to achieve a white shade that is lighter than the original color.

It isn’t unusual for your teeth to become stained over time from foods, medication, and drinks, among others. You can even whiten your teeth from home using toothpaste, but it will take about a month of treatments for optimum results.

Dental Implants

If you have lost or damaged teeth, a dental implant may be for you. The process starts with the dentist putting a titanium screw into your jaw where your missing tooth is. This will act as a support for a crown. Once the implant has fused to the bone, it becomes permanently secured. It is essential to practice good oral hygiene during and right after this process to ensure the area stays clear of food and debris.

Dental Crowns

A crown is essentially a cap for your tooth. It is often used when there is a lot of damage to the tooth, but not to the point that it needs to be removed. It can be made from various materials, including: 

  • Porcelain
  • Zirconia
  • Ceramic
  • Composite resin
  • Metal
  • Combination of metals
