Aesthetic Dental Treatment
Sparkling teeth, healthy smiles
Aesthetic dental surgery is a field of dentistry that uses surgical techniques to improve the appearance of teeth and gums. These surgical procedures are typically performed to enhance dental aesthetics, achieve harmony between the teeth, correct gum contours, or reshape the gum line. Aesthetic dental surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at making a person’s smile more attractive and natural.
Examples include placing porcelain veneers, performing gingivectomy or gingivoplasty for gum aesthetics, tooth contouring and reshaping, dental bleaching surgery, dental implants, and bone grafts. Aesthetic dental surgery utilizes modern technologies and surgical techniques to provide aesthetic and functional improvements while preserving the natural structure of the patient’s teeth and gums.
Aesthetic Dental Treatment Process
- Examination and Planning: The first step involves a detailed examination by your dentist to determine the patient’s aesthetic goals. The condition of the teeth is assessed, the dental structure is analyzed, and treatment options are planned.
- Teeth Whitening (Bleaching): The initial step to lighten the natural color of the teeth. This is done using chemical agents or special whitening systems.
- Tooth Preparation (Preparation): If porcelain or composite veneers are needed, minimal preparation is done on the front surfaces of the teeth. This step ensures the teeth are suitable for veneers.
- Veneer or Laminate Application: Porcelain veneers or laminates are applied to the front surfaces of the teeth. Pre-made veneers are permanently bonded to the teeth in this process.
- Aesthetic Filling Applications (Bonding): Small cracks, fractures, or gaps in the teeth are filled and aesthetically corrected with composite fillings.
- Gingivectomy or Gingivoplasty: Surgical interventions for improving gum aesthetics. Gums are shaped or recontoured.
- Temporary and Permanent Restorations: In some cases, temporary restorations may be used during the later stages of treatment. Permanent restorations are placed after the treatment is completed.
- Control and Maintenance: Regular post-treatment check-ups are done, and patients are advised on dental hygiene. Patient satisfaction with the treatment results is ensured, and additional adjustments are made if necessary.
Each patient’s aesthetic dental treatment process is customized according to their individual needs and preferences. Your dentist will help determine the most suitable treatment plan for you to achieve the desired aesthetic results.
