Cosmetic dentistry refers to those dental procedures that are meant to enhance and improve the aesthetics of your teeth. More often than not, these procedures are not entirely necessary, but do wonders in improving how your teeth look,

Teeth whitening is one of the most common procedures of cosmetic dentistry. Most of the patients may have experienced discoloration or stains due to smoking, drinking or eating habits. This can still be remedied through a teeth whitening session, whether through tray bleaching or laser whitening.

Another common practice for cosmetic dentistry is dental implants. These replace any gaps made my missing teeth. The fixtures are made of titanium and are screwed into your jaw bone. Unlike removable false teeth, dental implants look more natural.

If you have chipped or crooked teeth, you can also undergo dental contouring and reshaping. If there are small cracks in your teeth or overlapping sections, then one session of dental reshaping can be the remedy that you are looking for.

Aside from your teeth, your gums can also be improved through cosmetic dentistry. If you have lost tissues through gum disease or want to expose less of your gums when you smile, then cosmetic gum surgery may work to your benefit.

Teenagers are not the only ones who wear braces. Accelerated orthodontics makes it possible for you to wear braces for a few months instead of spending years waiting to see if your teeth can still be fixed. Since this is a relatively new procedure, you need to find a doctor who has been trained in this practice before agreeing to have it done on you.

Although many of the procedures associated with cosmetic dentistry can be quite costly, they can be covered by your insurance plan if you encountered them as a result of an accident.
