Types of Cosmetic Procedures
- Crowns: These are cap-like oral appliances that fit over teeth to hide imperfections like cracks and stains, but also reinforces teeth that have undergone serious procedures like a root canal or to protect a tooth with a filling that may be dislodged.
- Veneers: Unlike crowns, veneers cover the surface of teeth and don't fit over the whole tooth. Veneers are similar to crowns in that they hide dental imperfections like stains, cracks and chips. Some enamel is removed from the surface of teeth to make space for veneers. This prevent teeth from protruding.
- Braces: Whether they're traditional metal braces or Invisalign, clear aligner trays, push teeth into their proper position to straighten them. Traditional braces require patients from avoiding certain foods that may get stuck in braces, like corn or taffy. Invisalign is usually a better fit for teenagers and adults and doesn't require a specific diet.
- Dental implants: These oral appliances are a great solution for missing teeth. They replace dental gaps and prevent jawbone shrinkage. This procedure improves your tooth's functions: bite, chewing and speech.
- Tooth whitening: This cosmetic procedure eliminates hard to remove stains and yellowed teeth to provide a more beautiful smile.
