Cosmetic dentistry is part of the branch known as restorative dentistry. It is an aesthetic amplification of the teeth instead of being a medical procedure. In a restorative dentistry care plan, a professional dental team works on your teeth to ensure maximum health, function, and aesthetic appeal. Cosmetic dentistry helps you achieve the healthy and attractive smile you desire.

Common Types of Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

If you have been wondering about the types of procedures your local cosmetic dentistry team can perform, below you will find an overview.

The following procedures are some of the many a cosmetic dental team can provide:

  • Teeth Whitening
  • Dental Bridging
  • Dental Bonding
  • Dental Implantation
  • Dental Reshaping
  • Dental Crowning

The cosmetic dental team at Carolina Dental Arts has experience in these and many other dental procedures that help patients achieve their best smile. We conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes exploring your thoughts and feelings about your smile. 

During an initial consultation, we uncover your concerns about the health and appearance of your teeth. Our priority is to help you achieve the most attractive smile while ensuring that your oral health remains at its best.

 

Considerations Before a Dental Procedure

When you are interested in having a dental procedure, it is important for you to learn as much as possible about it. We encourage our patients to ask questions that help them understand what to expect from a particular dental procedure. 

Additionally, it is recommended that you follow a prescribed dental care plan following the procedure. Patients who closely follow a prescribed regimen during recovery are able to have the best opportunity to achieve the most satisfactory results. 

Lastly, managing comfort before, during, and after dental procedures ensure that you can have the best experience. Most procedures require a recovery period of approximately 10 days for optimal healing. Thus, you must be patient and follow instructions closely to have the best chance at a successful recovery.

Patience is also sometimes required when assessing the results of any dental procedure. Some procedures have gradual results and require a sequence of follow-up appointments to complete the whole treatment. It is important for patients to stay consistent and committed to the specified dental care plan.  

 

What to Expect When Having a Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure

There are various dental cosmetic procedures each with different lifespans. For instance, teeth whitening procedures can last about six months or can endure for two to three years. The results vary according to how closely post-dental procedure instructions are followed and the person’s lifestyle. 

Some patients have lifestyles that affect results such as those that smoke or drink coffee. By practicing regimented oral hygiene routines, patients are able to increase the quality of their results. To help maintain your dental beauty as long as possible, you must make daily dental care routines a priority. 

The recovery of other cosmetic dental procedures such as those that involve crowns, also heavily rely on the quality of the aftercare. Focusing on a healthy recovery is the best way to ensure implants for crowing are accepted and other expected outcomes succeed. By following instructions carefully, you may be able to ensure desired results and the shortest recovery time as well. 

 

Common Conditions That Require Cosmetic Dentistry

The following are some of the conditions that require cosmetic dentistry:

  • Tooth discoloration and staining
  • Misshapen teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Misaligned teeth
  • Small gaps or spaces between teeth

Patients may present with a variety of symptoms that require the help of cosmetic dentistry procedures. Some procedures not only address cosmetic concerns but also help resolve oral issues at the same time.

 

Can Any Person Undergo Cosmetic Dentistry Treatments?

Any person can have cosmetic dental treatments as long as they have healthy teeth and gums. If you are experiencing any type of tooth infection or oral condition, you must resolve that first before considering cosmetic dental procedures. Any type of gum disease or cavities you may be experiencing have to be addressed first. Once you achieve a healthy oral state, you can begin to explore procedures that help you enhance aesthetics.

 

Do Restorative Dental Procedures Offer Cosmetic Benefits?

 

Yes! Cosmetic procedures can also be restorative at the same time. There are cases where teeth need repair and can also improve aesthetically. For example, a patient may present with a cracked tooth that requires a dental crown. The procedure will not only fix the structure of the tooth, but it can also improve the appearance of it. 

A similar example is dental braces that work to improve jaw alignment, which helps improve overall oral health and at the same time significantly improves alignment for a more pleasing aesthetic result.

 

What Benefits Can I Expect From Cosmetic Dentistry?

 

The following are only some of the benefits you can expect from having cosmetic dental procedures:

  • Enhance your best smile for years to come
  • Stained teeth become more bright
  • Improve the shape of your teeth
  • Fix cracked or chipped teeth
  • Achieve a symmetrical and balanced smile
  • Helps you feel more confident about your smile

Ashley who was my hygienist today did such a wonderful job on my teeth. I have gone in for cleanings before with other dentists in the area of Goldsboro and always come out with yellow teeth still.. I did not have any any kind of whitening done she just cleaned my teeth and I felt so good afterward .
