Most Sought After Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
The field of cosmetic dentistry has been improving for years, with these cosmetic procedures being known to most people:
Teeth Whitening
Also known as teeth bleaching this procedure is a very inexpensive way to brighten one’s smile. Teeth whitening can be accomplished in-office or may even be at home.
Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers help correct broken chipped teeth. They also hide the gap in-between teeth or maybe used to cover permanently stained teeth. Dr. Haque may have to remove a bit of the tooth’s enamel to ensure a proper fit.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are recommended to hide a tooth loss. It stays in place by supporting adjacent teeth. They are also recommended to restore the health of the soft tissues surrounding the damaged teeth. Without it, the remaining teeth may shift its place which could increase the risk of periodontal disease, TMJ or tooth decay.
Clear Aligners
While clear aligners are an orthodontic treatment, it is also considered as a cosmetic dentistry procedure because it straightens the teeth for better appearance. During the treatment, Dr. Haque will take an x-ray and take an impression after which will then be sent over to a laboratory to make the clear aligners for the patient.
Dental Implants
Implants are the most stable option to replace one’s missing teeth. This is ideal for those who doesn’t want to wear removable dental appliances such as dentures or dental bridges.
