On a day to day basis, when most people wake up in the morning, they will try and put some effort into looking their best. Of course, this varies on a case by case basis and from person to person, but as a general rule, most people like to look good, especially if they are going to meet up with other people that day. There are a few things that people can do each morning to try and look good. Things such as choosing a nice outfit, hairstyle, accessories and makeup, for example, can really help to give a person that feel-good sensation that people get from knowing they are looking their best that day.
While these are all helpful, sometimes many people feel that looking a bit further than just what they can wear/apply on any given day can really give them that extra cosmetic “edge” that they have been looking for. Nowadays, cosmetic treatments are all the rage and you can find many different treatments designed to sculpt and enhance almost any different part of the body. An increasingly popular but perhaps less thought of branch of cosmetics is cosmetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry refers to a large group of specific dental treatments that are all designed to alter the look of a patient’s teeth in order to make it more favourable to them.
Many of these treatments are very effective at giving a person a set of really wonderful looking teeth – as well as the confidence boost that understandably comes with it – and can be received from a dentist in Soho. Given that there are so many different treatments and treatment options that are a part of the world of cosmetic dentistry, it would be impossible to cover them all. Despite this though, this article will take a brief look at some of the more popular ones and give you information that can help you decide if any (or many!) of the forms of cosmetic dentistry are right for you.
Examples
Two popular and prominent examples of cosmetic dentistry are teeth whitening and cosmetic bonding. Teeth whitening is perhaps the most well known form of cosmetic dentistry, and it is primarily used to make teeth several shades whiter. Lots of things can cause staining to teeth, causing them to appear a darker shade, including eating, drinking, smoking and changes to a tooth’s mineral structure over time. This treatment is an effective solution for many types of tooth discolouration and staining, and it can be done while you sleep or during daytime sessions.
Cosmetic bonding is also designed to treat tooth discolouration, and it uses a tooth coloured resin material in order to do so. It can also be used to repair chipped or cracked teeth and close spaces between teeth among many other things. The resin that is used is the same as that which is used for white fillings, meaning that it matches naturally with the teeth around it. In most cases, cosmetic bonding causes a patient minimal pain or discomfort and conveniently, it can be completed in a single visit.
