Cosmetic Dentistry: Part 1
By Tim Henry Nothing since that
Ancient Sumerian fashioned the first toothbrush from a simple twig has impacted
the dental field more than cosmetic dentistry. Today it is possible for the
average American to sport the same picture perfect smile as any celebrity.
 Cosmetic dentistry encompasses several different procedures which we will
investigate. You may even have some of these procedures in your mouth right
now. . .in fact the odds are that you have had some type of cosmetic dental
procedure in your lifetime.
It’s important to meet with your dentist for an initial examination to
determine if you are a candidate for cosmetic dental work. Your teeth must be
in good condition before any cosmetic work is undertaken. If any type of dental
disease is present, your dentist will explain what needs to be accomplished
before proceeding with cosmetic work.
Once that is determined the dentist will explain the various cosmetic
options available that are suitable for your needs, whether it be braces,
bridges, bonding, veneers, bleaching and so on.
Whitening is one of the primary reasons that people consider cosmetic
procedures. But, it’s important to realize that often whiteners alone may not
help. In fact, studies by the American Dental Association have shown that teeth
with a yellowish tone will whiten well with a bleaching process whereas teeth
that are brownish may not bleach well and grayish teeth may not bleach well at
all.
If you have had other cosmetic processes done and then decide to try
whitening, you could end up with a very undesirable effect of not having all
your teeth uniform in color. It’s important to follow the advice of your
dentist and not be swayed by advertising or how your best friends’ work turned
out!
