1. One can visit a cosmetic dentist for a number of reasons. First and foremost, sometimes some people have irregular or mis-aligned teeth. This results in a number of dental issues or maladies like the smile being erratic or even the manner of eating and talking of a person getting affected. In addition, it can result in bad oral hygiene problems in which food particles can get stuck in between the teeth of the person. For this, one has to visit an orthodontist or even a cosmetic dentist to get a set of braces and retainers. A normal set of braces can be had from an orthodontist. However, an invisible set of braces does come within the purview of even a cosmetic dentist. With this, a person’s smile value is restored, and he or she can have a sparkling visage as well.
2. Cosmetic dentists even help a person in getting teeth whitening done. This is a line of treatment, which as the name suggests, helps in whitening the teeth of any given person. This treatment can be done at home and even in the dental clinic. For at home treatment, the person needs to wear whitening trays which are manufactured in the dental laboratory. These are worn for a given number of hours for a given number of days by the patient. Slowly, but surely, the teeth start to whiten. However, this treatment is not permanent, and it can lose its value if the patient does not look after his or her oral hygiene habits. Thus, a person should make it a point to keep his or her teeth very clean after the treatment is done. Teeth whitening can be done in the dental clinic by first prepping up the teeth. After this, a whitening lotion or gel is smeared on them, and this is activated by a laser light at a given intensity for a given duration of time. With this, the teeth get whitened by some degrees or grades. This treatment may be repeated one more time for more effective results. However, this too is not permanent. Teeth thus whitened can get re-stained if proper care is not taken. Teeth whitening can also be done with the use of whitening gum and toothpaste. Also, it can be done by placing a dental cap or crown on top of the tooth or teeth. Even laminates and veneers can be used for teeth whitening treatment.
3. Sometimes, we feel that we do not have the perfect smile. However, we can get this by means of getting a smile makeover treatment done. Also, there is another form of treatment called full mouth reconstruction. This is somewhat extensive in its procedure. Nonetheless, the results of this are well worth all the effort which has gone into it since a person gets a full and final makeover for their smile with this.
