COSMETIC DENTAL PROCEDURES

To improve the appearance of smile and teeth, there are certain procedures in dentistry such as :

BLEACHING:

Bleaching lightens the teeth that have been stained or discolored by food and / or age, or have darkened as a result of injury.

BONDING:

Bonding involves applying a tooth colored filling material called composite resin to the surface of your chipped, broken or discolored teeth. The composite resin also fill in gaps between your teeth.

VENEERS:

Veneers are thin, custom made, tooth-colored shells that cover the front part of your teeth. Veneers correct the malaligned, damaged or discolored teeth.

MALALIGNED TEETH CORRECTION

CROWNS:

Crowns are given to deformed or discolored or fractured or decayed teeth. These crowns are cemented over the tooth. Crowns will improve the aesthetic appearance of the teeth.

DENTAL IMPLANTS:

A lost tooth or teeth can be replaced with dental implants. Dental implants are artificial replacements for your teeth that are inserted directly into your jaw.

ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT:

Orthodontic treatment is used to correct the malocclusion ( teeth that are crowded or crooked ).
Recent advances for correction of malocclusion includes Clear aligners.
Clear aligners correct the malaligned teeth without metal wires and braces and they are removable.

CROWN LENGTHENING:

Crown lengthening procedure is to improve a "gummy" smile because your teeth appear short. Your teeth may actually be the proper lengths, but they're covered with too much gum tissue.

During the dental crown lengthening procedure, excess gum tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. This can be done to several teeth to expose a natural, broad smile.

GUM SURGERY:

Sometimes gum recession causes the tooth root to become exposed, which makes your teeth look long. This recession can happen as a result of a variety of causes, including periodontal diseases.

Gum graft surgery and other root coverage procedures are designed to cover exposed roots, to reduce further gum recession and to protect roots from decay.

In excessive gingival recession cases, gum grafts are used to cover the roots or develop gum tissue.

LASER GUM DEPIGMENTATION:

Gum depigmentation, also known as gum bleaching, is a procedure used to lighten or remove black spots or patches on the gums caused by melanin.

FRENECTOMY:

A labial frenectomy is a form of frenectomy performed on the lip.

The labial frenum often attaches to the center of the upper lip and between the upper two front teeth. This can cause a large gap and gum recession by pulling the gums off the bone. A labial frenectomy removes the labial frenum and help with closing a front tooth gap.

TEETH WHITENING

Most of us start out with sparkling white teeth, thanks to their porcelain-like enamel surface. Composed of microscopic crystalline rods, tooth enamel is designed to protect the teeth from the effects of chewing, gnashing, trauma and acid attacks caused by sugar. But over the years enamel is worn down, becoming more transparent and permitting the yellow color of dentin – the tooth's core material – to show through.

People undergo teeth whitening treatment mainly due to discoloration of teeth.

Tooth Discoloration: The Two Types of Tooth Stains

There are two categories of staining as it relates to the teeth: extrinsic staining and intrinsic staining.

TOBACCO STAINING

Extrinsic stains are those that appear on the surface of the teeth as a result of exposure to dark-colored beverages, foods and tobacco, and routine wear and tear. Superficial extrinsic stains are minor and can be removed with brushing and prophylactic dental cleaning. Stubborn extrinsic stains can be removed with more involved efforts, like teeth bleaching.

FLUOROSIS STAINING

TETRACYCLINE STAINING

Intrinsic stains are those that form on the interior of teeth. Intrinsic stains result from trauma, aging, exposure to minerals (like tetracycline) during tooth formation and/or excessive ingestion of fluoride. Deep-set intrinsic stains can be removed with supervised take-home teeth whitening that is maintained over a matter of months or even a year. If it fails, there are alternative cosmetic solutions to treat intrinsic staining, such as dental veneers.

What Causes Tooth Staining?

Age: There is a direct correlation between tooth color and age. Over the years, teeth darken as a result of wear and tear and stain accumulation.

Starting color: We are all equipped with an inborn tooth color that ranges from yellow-brownish to greenish-grey, and intensifies over time.

Eating habits: The habitual consumption of red wine, coffee, tea, cola, carrots, oranges and other deeply-colored beverages and foods causes considerable staining over the years. In addition, acidic foods such as citrus fruits and vinegar contribute to enamel erosion. As a result, the surface becomes more transparent and more of the yellow-colored dentin shows through.

Smoking habits: Nicotine leaves brownish deposits which slowly soak into the tooth structure and cause intrinsic discoloration.

Drugs / chemicals: Tetracycline usage during tooth formation produces dark grey or brown ribbon stains which are very difficult to remove. Excessive consumption of fluoride causes fluorosis and associated areas of white mottling.

Grinding: Most frequently caused by stress, teeth grinding (gnashing, bruxing, etc.) can add to micro-cracking in the teeth and can cause the biting edges to darken.

Trauma: Falls and other injuries can produce cracks in the teeth, which collect large amounts of stains and debris.

What are Your Options

Three major teeth whitening options are available today. All three rely on varying concentrations of peroxide and varying application times.

In-Office Whitening

Significant color change in a short period of time is the major benefit of in-office whitening. This protocol involves the carefully controlled use of a relatively high-concentration peroxide gel, applied to the teeth by the dentist or trained technician after the gums have been protected with a paint-on rubber dam. Generally, the peroxide remains on the teeth for several 15 to 20 minute intervals that add up to an hour (at most). Those with particularly stubborn staining may be advised to return for one or more additional bleaching sessions, or may be asked to continue with a home-use system.

Professionally Dispensed Take-Home Kits

Many dentists are of the opinion that professionally dispensed take-home whitening kits can produce the best results over the long haul. Take-home kits incorporate an easy-to-use lower-concentration peroxide gel that remains on the teeth for an hour or longer (sometimes overnight). The lower the peroxide percentage, the longer it may safely remain on the teeth. The gel is applied to the teeth using custom-made bleaching trays that resemble mouth guards.

Over-the-Counter Products

The cheapest and most convenient of the teeth whitening options, over-the-counter bleaching involves the use of a store-bought whitening kit, featuring a bleaching gel with a concentration lower than that of the professionally dispensed take-home whiteners. The gel is applied to the teeth via one-size-fits-all trays, strips or paint-on applicators. In many cases this may only whiten a few of the front teeth unlike custom trays that can whiten the entire smile.

How White Can You Go? A Matter of Esthetics

Results are subjective, varying considerably from person to person. Many are immediately delighted with their outcome, while others may be disappointed. Before you embark on any whitening treatment, ask your dentist for a realistic idea of the results you are likely to achieve and how long it should take to achieve them.

Shade Guides

In the dental office, before-and-after tooth color is typically measured with shade guides. These are hand-held displays of wide ranges of tooth colors.

While whitening can occasionally lighten tooth color by nine or more shades, most of those who bleach their teeth are likely to see a change of two to seven shades.

SHADE GUIDE

Maintaining Your Results

To extend the longevity of newly whitened teeth, dentists are likely to recommend:

· At-home follow-up or maintenance whitening – implemented immediately or performed as infrequently as once a year.

· Avoiding dark-colored foods and beverages for at least a week after whitening.

· Whenever possible, sipping dark-colored beverages with a straw.

· Practicing excellent oral hygiene – brushing and flossing after meals and at bedtime.
