COSMETIC DENTISTRY: WHAT IT
IS AND WHAT ARE ITS TYPES
 Cosmetic dentistry is a process of professional oral care that helps
improve the appearance of your teeth, mouth, and smile. Since they
are known to mostly improve the appearance of the teeth, the
cosmetic dentistry procedures are usually considered a matter of
choice or a leisure element rather than a necessity.
 Inlays and Onlays
 These are the indirect fillings in the teeth. The difference with these
treatments is that instead of taking place in the dentist’s office the inlays
and onlays are made in the dental laboratories. Inlays are often used when
there is mild to moderate level of decaying in the tooth or if there has been
a filling and there is not enough teeth remaining to support that filling.
 Veneers
 The dental veneers are usually made of the medical-grade ceramic. These
veneers are customized to resemble the original teeth of the patient.
Veneers are so well-constructed according to the size and shape of the
patient’s teeth that they are almost indistinguishable from the real teeth.
They help solve a lot of the dental cosmetic problems such as crooked
teeth, cracked or damaged enamel, or unwanted gaps between the teeth.
They are added to the front of the affected tooth using a dental adhesive.
