Procedures For General And Cosmetic Dentistry

By Dominique Martin


It is commonly known that dentists are associated with tooth extraction, cleaning, filling, and getting braces and retainers from. Although the practice and study has evolved since then and many other services and procedures are being made to either give better aesthetics or functionality for your overall oral cavity. This would make it more convenient for people who have various problems with their teeth, gums, or mouth.

A lot of procedures are now available to choose from. Options for cosmetic dentistry Andover can be now achieved through various needs depending on the individual or patient. Whichever they deem to be done, whether lightening, filling, reshaping, bridges, veneers, etc.

But this dentistry is actually not a focused or official study recognized by the American Dental Association. Many dentists have already claimed to be cosmetic dentists but this is deemed very unethical and the main objective is purely marketing on their patients. So far, two specialties are for this field which are Prosthodontics and also Orthodontics.

Prosthodontics is a speciality in dentistry that is concentrated on providing prosthesis in the oral cavity. They most likely give procedures on deficient or missing teeth. They help patients who have congenital defects on their neck and head areas due to surgery, cancer, trauma, or defects from birth.

Dentofacial Orthopedics or also known as Orthodontics, is the original and initial study for dentistry. These specialists would mainly deal with providing control, displacement, and modification of the growth of the jaw area and the teeth because of malocclusions or otherwise improper bites. Although this focus has its limit and could only do this and not other procedures like how general dentistry are able to do others.

These procedures have their value solely on cosmetic or aesthetics rather than on the functionality. Whitening is the most common cosmetic procedure that enhances how they look. This is also because there are already various products in the market that are available for anyone but it is better to have it done with a professional to make sure of the safety and also the quality.

Bonding and Veneers may be a bit the same due to them being procedures for adding enamel like structures on the crowns. Veneers are used to sculpt the crown to close gaps or reform chipped edges. Although this material does not react with whitening but they are ultra thin and made of customized porcelain material.

Dental bridges are false teeth that are attached in between real ones or other false ones as well to fill in gaps that are missing. It is a fixed dental restoration and these types may vary depending on the procedure and methods. Examples for this is either an indirect restoration or an implant.

Gum lift is the resculpting of the gum line in order to reshape it back to a more healthier or aesthetical look. It would give a more symmetrical or longer teeth by also reshaping the underlying bones. Before having any professional do procedures for your oral cavity, make sure they have enough licenses and they come from a proper institute, clinic, or hospital.
