The Benefits Of Cosmetic Dentistry

The Benefits Of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry has many advantages to offer. This is why it is so popular. Smile makeovers are so accessible nowadays that almost anyone can improve their smile somehow through cosmetic dentistry. You do not have to be born with perfect teeth anymore. A cosmetic dentist can create the smile that you want but nature did not give you.

Before we go into the list of just some of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry it is important to point out that not everyone is a good candidate for cosmetic dentistry. Those who do not take proper care of their teeth and whose oral care is lacking may not be healthy enough to successfully accept certain procedures. In other words you have to have a certain amount of healthy tissue to work with. Dentists are not going to compromise the function or health of your mouth for a cosmetic procedure.

If, on the other hand, you are in relatively good oral health and you are willing to do what it takes to maintain a healthy mouth, here are just a few cosmetic dentistry benefits that await you:

Speed - Cosmetic dentistry is fast. In many cases you can be given a completely different smile in one to two office visits! In the case of most dentists's office teeth bleaching or whitening procedures results can be seen in a matter of minutes! At-home treatments for whitening work alright, but you can only find the efficiency of one-use results in your dentist's office. Another example of speedy results in cosmetic dentistry involves teeth straightening. Teeth straightening can take a long time to see results. Braces are painful, inconvenient, and largely considered unattractive. But since porcelain veneers became popular, you have the choice of never having to wear braces again. Veneers can be molded to fit almost any shape. A cosmetic dentist can shave away portions of your teeth that are ill-aligned and can fit you for a set of veneers that can straighten your teeth in just a few office visits, versus the months or even years it may take for traditional orthodontia.

Less Pain - Cosmetic dentistry can eliminate the pain of braces by completely replacing the need for them. As was just mentioned above, cosmetic dentistry can speed up the tooth straightening process, and in so doing you as the patient do not have to experience as much pain over time. If you have ever had braces you know how painful it can be after each tightening and straightening appointment. You can greatly reduce the number of nights that you have to go home and eat gelatin or yogurt because it hurts too much to chew.

Confidence - A cosmetic procedure is bound to make you feel more confident about yourself and your smile. Your smile is the first thing that many people see when they meet you. A cosmetic dentist can help you to attain the smile that you always hoped for. Imagine what other opportunities can be made available to you when you carry yourself with confidence. Many consider the boost in confidence and increase in self esteem to be motivation enough to have a cosmetic dentistry procedure.

Comfort and ease - Many times cosmetic dentistry can solve an annoying dental problem that you may have. For example, dentures can be quite cumbersome. There are messy creams, adhesive tapes, cleaning foams, overnight soakings, etc. to have to worry about. With a dental implant (a permanent and nearly zero-maintenance alternative to dentures) you can go about your life not having to worry about whether your teeth will stay in place. Dental implants can provide you with the convenience and ease of maintaining your own teeth. No more wasted time and effort maintaining a removable dental appliance.
