Sometimes you wonder why your officemate never smiles and always closes his mouth on the rare occasion he does smile. Later you realize he doesn’t have a perfect set of teeth as they are discolored, misaligned plus cracks in between can be seen if he opens his mouth. If smile can open many doors whether it is at work or at social outings, who would want to talk to someone with a grumpy face?
People who do not have perfect teeth can now have several options to fix their problem. Due to modern technological breakthroughs in the field of dentistry, cosmetic dentist can give new and innovative treatments to improve how you teeth looks.
One of the newest breakthrough in aligning teeth is using invisible braces instead of older fixed metal braces that are usually used by younger people. These invisible braces are called Invisalign. You can wear these invisible braces anywhere, from parties to business meetings and no one will even notice you are wearing braces. It is handy and gives you a sense of calm as people will not be staring at your braces when you are smiling or talking. These Invisalign braces are expensive with cost reaching up to seven to eight thousand at times.
Another option a cosmetic dentist may recommend is making a new tooth from scratch based on the contour and shape of your old tooth. Yes it is now possible to do that. You can make teeth from scratch using porcelain or ceramic polymers and even improve the shape and contour if it is need. What the cosmetic dentist would do is take a picture of your teeth and let you bit on a piece of paper so that the impression of the contour of your teeth will be known. Then the cosmetic dentist will send it to a specialized lab and in a few day you will have your new shiny tooth.
Gone also are the days when dentists would use silver or mercury to fill your tooth. Nowadays we have white fillings that are not toxic as that of silver and mercury fillings and are many times stronger also.
If your teeth has cracks or gaps, a cosmetic dentist can fix this by applying a layer of resin that will fill and close any gaps and cracks your teeth may have. You can also strengthen your teeth now by having it crowned or have a new set of front teeth simply by applying a layer of porcelain laminate or what is commonly called veneers.
People with discolored teeth can now have them whitened with the help of a cosmetic dentist through an oxidation process using carbomide or hydrogen peroxide. You will have nice shiny white teeth in no time with this process. This process can be done either at home or at the dentist’s office.
With these new technological advances in cosmetic dentistry, you now have no more reason why you can’t have a beautiful smile that would launch a thousand ships. It may cost you a bit but it should be worth it in the long run.
