Concept and types of cosmetic dentistry

A ‘smile makeover’ improves the appearance of our smile through one or more cosmetic dentistry procedures. Types of Cosmetic Dentistry in Oak Park are listed below.

 

Teeth Whitening: There are whitening products available over the counter at retail stores for convenient at-home whitening: whitening toothpastes, rinses, and white strips.

 

Dental Veneers: Dental veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored porcelain or resin that cover the front surface of the teeth. After removing about a half-millimeter of enamel from the tooth surface, these thin shells are bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size, or length.

 

Dental Bonding: In dental bonding from a dentist in Oak Park, a tooth-colored, putty-like resin, which is a durable plastic material, is applied to the tooth and hardened with an ultraviolet or laser light, bonding the material to the tooth.

 

Dental Crown: A dental crown, also called a cap, fits over and replaces the entire decayed or damaged tooth above the gum line, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns keep a weak tooth from breaking or hold a cracked tooth together.

 

Inlays and Onlays: Inlays and onlays, also called indirect fillings, are made from gold, porcelain, or composite materials and fill decayed or damaged teeth. In ‘inlay’ the material is bonded within the center of a tooth and in ‘onlay’ the filling includes one or more points of the tooth or covers the biting surface.

 

Dental Implants: Dental implants are titanium replacement tooth roots inserted into the bone socket of the missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it grows around the implanted metal post, anchoring it securely in the jaw and providing a foundation for a replacement tooth.
