In Weston, Cosmetic
Dentistry is About More Than a Great Smile
Cosmetic
dentistry is probably the most misunderstood dental term among our Weston patients. Most believe that
cosmetic dentistry is strictly about a beautiful appearance and not about
dental health. The fact is cosmetic dentistry
is finding its way into many restorative procedures.
The
advances made in cosmetic dentistry materials and technology easily translate
to procedures like fillings and crowns which are considered core restorative
services.
For
example there is now a material that is the same color of the tooth that can be
used in fillings. Traditional silver fillings work fine of course but they
announce their presence every time you open your mouth. The new material is
just as durable as silver and is nearly invisible. Which would you prefer?
Broken
or chipped teeth are not only unattractive but they degrade the ability to
properly chew food and in some cases, to speak correctly. Porcelain veneers are
a viable alternative to traditional crowns. These veneers are thin, durable
porcelain tooth shaped shells that can be easily be bonded to the front of the
tooth giving it a healthy "whole" appearance.
There
are many other examples where "cosmetic dentistry" techniques and
material can be applied to what many patients consider "normal"
dentistry.
Cosmetic Dentistry Provides
More than Just a Beautiful Smile
We
explained above how cosmetic dentistry is a key element of basic dental care.
But for almost every patient who takes advantage of our cosmetic services there
is an increase in personal confidence and self-image. Those two characteristics
can have a huge impact on a person's work, relationships with others and even
family life.
