Dental Aesthetics

Modern dentistry not only treats diseases of the oral cavity but also improves the aesthetic appearance of teeth. In other words, it makes it possible to beautify a smile.

The mission of dental aesthetics has never changed from past to present. It presents a method in dental practice that aims to eliminate various imperfections in the appearance of teeth and gums. According to modern beauty standards, teeth should be even, and the tooth units themselves should be naturally white with micro-relief and a transparent cutting edge. Patients usually want their teeth to be this way.

When is Dental Aesthetics Needed?

• If there are chips and cracks in the teeth,
• If there is crookedness or other aesthetic visual defects,
• If the teeth differ in color, shape, and height,
• If there are gaps between the tooth units,
• If the teeth are too large or too small in size,
• If the tooth structure is good, but you just want it to look different, you can have dental aesthetics.

The specialists performing dental aesthetics may have different approaches to the task depending on the commitment. If a complete change in the appearance of the entire dental structure is required, usually one procedure cannot be avoided. Several specialists will need to work together; an orthodontist and a surgeon must work together.

If we are talking about less global changes, for example, the restoration of one or more damaged units, chipped front teeth, or a change in the appearance of the smile zone, the following procedures can be applied:

• In procedures for restoring chewing teeth with veneers,
• In procedures for the aesthetic (artistic) restoration of front teeth,
• Teeth whitening also falls under the field of aesthetic dentistry.

Differences Between Dental Aesthetics and Veneers

Both dental aesthetics and dental veneers are available options. However, it has been proven that dental aesthetics look better than veneers.

Veneers are thin layers bonded to the tooth that enhance the aesthetic appeal of the teeth. Restoration with veneers is actually prosthetics performed by an orthopedic dentist

Every patient seriously considering dental aesthetics at a dental clinic should be examined by a doctor in a way that prevents complications and does not harm tooth tissue and enamel, and the doctor's recommendations regarding the correction procedure should be listened to.
