Whitening is one of the most common forms of cosmetic dentistry. These procedures often take less than an hour, leaving patients with a brightened smile. The teeth are exposed to a lot with our everyday activities. Many foods and drink yellow and discolor teeth. While regular brushing is great, these stains are often deep within the tooth, making mere brushing alone unsuccessful. Dentists will utilize their technology to achieve a brighter smile. One common method is with light. A paste is applied a patient’s teeth and activated with bright LED lights. The procedure is effective, quick, and safe.
Veneers are a great way to cover damaged teeth. The teeth may become chipped or decayed due to a number of issues. A veneer will work to cover these defects and provide patients with a uniform smile. There are multiple options for veneers, with one of the most popular being porcelain. These veneers are custom made from a mold of the patient’s tooth. Once it’s finished, the dentist will prepare the tooth for installation. Once it’s installed, the patient will have a beautiful smile that lasts a lifetime. The patient may also choose to replace the veneer every so often if need be.
An implant is used to restore an extracted or decayed tooth. Patients may loose a tooth to decay or choose to get it extracted because of infection or damage. They are left with a missing space and cavity. New York Cosmetic Dentistry will work to restore the smile. Dentists will drill a small hole into the jawbone to install a fastener. The mouth then needs to heal so that the fastener can naturally anchor to the jaw bone. This can take up to 6 months. From there, an artificial implant will be fitted onto the implant.
All in all, there are a number of great procedures for patients to utilize. Experienced dentists can achieve great results. In the end, patients will have a beautiful smile that will surely turn heads.
