Everyone wants to look beautiful and charming, but teeth problems are something which not only provide with the unbearable pain, but also make us look ugly. I have seen and met a number of people in Columbus who suffer from different oral diseases (teeth related issues) and are searching for a perfect solution which can get the lost charm of their faces back. The technology and advanced science have developed the solution for this problem and the solution is popularly known as ‘Cosmetic Dentistry.’

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic Dentistry is the scientific method of professional oral care which is dedicated for improving your mouth’s condition as well as for enhancing the smile to beautify your face. Cosmetic Dentistry is the perfect combination of science and art.

What Procedures are Considered in Cosmetic Dentistry?

The main objective of a Cosmetic Dentistry is to restore the teeth’s beauty by several procedures which are suitable for different problems and for different people. There are several cosmetic dentists in Columbus, Ohio, who have the expertise in all the 5 procedures of the Cosmetic Dentistry. These procedures are discussed below:

• Inlays and Onlays: These are indirect filling materials which are made in the dental laboratories using composite resin material and adhesive dental cement. These are used when a tooth has mild to moderate decay or there is not enough tooth structure to support the filling.
• Teeth Whitening: It is one of the most basic cosmetic dentistry procedures. This is also known as ‘Teeth Bleaching’ and is used for enhancing the beauty of the teeth by lightening its tone (shade), provided that the plaque, germs, tartar and other debris must be removed prior to the treatment.
• Composite Bonding: The treatment or the repair of the damaged, decayed or discolored tooth/teeth is known as ‘Composite Bonding’. In this, the tooth decay is drilled out and the composite is applied onto the tooth’s surface, then the dentist “sculpts” it into the right shape before curing it with a high-intensity light. It is considered to be one of the least expensive procedures of Cosmetic Dentistry for cracked and damaged teeth.
• Dental Implants: It is the tooth/teeth replacement technique which simply involves replacing one tooth or multiple teeth and in this procedure, the dentist has to do with the bones and the jaws to support the dental prosthesis such as crowns or bridge.
• Dental Veneers: These are typically made by using a medical-grade ceramic and are made separately for each patient resemble one’s own natural teeth. The dentist applies the veneer to the front of each tooth using a dental adhesive and look extremely realistic.

If you’re considering a solution for your tooth/teeth related issue, it’s vital to find a cosmetic dentist who specifically offers the option you’re interested in. Also check their work experience and the price before going for the treatment.
