In case, you are having dental issues such as discolored, stained, chipped, worn, broken, misshapen, or misaligned teeth, etc. there is no reason to lose hope. Modern dentistry promises to give you a bright, warm, and inviting smile. A cosmetic dentistry procedure or ‘smile makeover’ helps in enhancing the aesthetic appeal of your smile. Qualified and well-trained dentists are working hard to come up with an effective treatment plan.

As per WebMD, cosmetic dentistry has become phenomenally popular today, right from shaping and whitening to replacing teeth and closing gaps or spaces between teeth. Dentists have easy access to a broad spectrum of techniques and tools for enhancing your smile.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening” is supposed to be one of the most cost-effective and simplest ways of enhancing your smile and overall facial beauty. Your teeth could be bleached at the dentist’s office with premium in-office products or you could alternatively purchase gels and mold from your dentist for getting your teeth bleached at home. You could even avail of certain whitening products including whitening toothpaste, whitestrip, and rinses over the counter from various retail outlets for at-home teeth whitening convenience. However, over-the-counter teeth bleaching products are often not quite as effective as expected. Seek an appointment with an experienced dentist in Dublin Ohio for the best results.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are known to be as thin as wafers and are custom-tailored shells of resin or natural tooth-colored porcelain that are meant to cover your teeth’s front surface. Initially, around a half-millimeter of tooth enamel would be removed from the surface of your teeth then these thin shells are bonded or cemented together altering the shape, color, length, or size of your teeth. Veneers are referred to as “Hollywood teeth.” This cosmetic dentistry procedure could cost you around $500-$1,300 for each tooth.

Dental or Enamel Bonding

Dental bonding could be a hugely effective procedure for patients suffering from badly chipped or deeply stained teeth. We understand that composite bonding entails the application of a putty-like tooth-colored resin that is actually a highly-durable plastic material to your tooth and then getting it hardened using a laser light or ultraviolet light. It is then the responsibility of a qualified and well-experienced dentist to go about trimming, shaping, and polishing it. 

We know that dental bonding could help in repairing cracked, decayed, or chipped teethBonding would be taking around 30 to almost 60 minutes and could cost you roughly between $100 and $400 for each tooth. However, this procedure has been criticized because enamel bonding does not promise longevity like dental veneers.

Fitting Dental Crown

A dental crown is known as a cap that could be fitted and may help in replacing the entire damaged or decayed tooth just above the patient’s gum line effectively restoring the tooth’s shape, strength, appearance, and size. A dental crown could protect a weak tooth from getting broken. Crowns could be made from resin, metal, porcelain-fused-metal, or ceramic, and could end up costing approximately $500 to almost $900 per crown.

Conclusion

Several effective cosmetic dentistry procedures could be availed to get rid of stained, chipped, cracked, or weak teeth and restore an attractive smile that could win a million hearts.
