Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way and there are now many effective ways to improve one’s appearance.

Cosmetic dental treatments have become increasingly popular over the years. Thanks to advances in the field, there are now many ways to address aesthetic imperfections and achieve a beautiful, healthy smile safely and effectively. If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your teeth, you might consider a cosmetic treatment. Read on for our round-up of some of the best options currently available…

1. For a brighter smile

Professional teeth whitening remains one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in dentistry, and it’s easy to understand why. A relatively simply process, a whitening treatment can brighten one’s smile quite considerably and even help to get of stubborn stains and areas of discolouration. In fact, a professional whitening treatment can lighten the teeth by up to eight shades, and the results can last for between one and two years with the correct care and oral hygiene.

If you are considering a teeth whitening treatment, you will have the choice of having the procedure done in your dentist’s chair or doing it yourself at home. If you opt for an in-chair treatment, the process will take around 45 minutes and you will be able to see your results immediately. Take-home kits, on the other hand, take longer to achieve results but are also safe and effective as long as they are administered with the guidance of your dentist.

2. To conceal imperfections

If you have tried a whitening treatment but are still struggling with stains and discolouration, you might consider dental veneers. In fact, dental veneers have the ability to transform one’s smile quite dramatically and can be used to conceal a wide range of flaws. Some of the cosmetic imperfections that dental veneers can effectively mask include chips, cracks, uneven teeth, and mild misalignment.

Dental veneers are made from a very durable, strong, and stain-resistant ceramic material that is bonded to the surface of the teeth. Each veneer is custom-made in terms of shape, size, and colour so it is possible to achieve the exact results that you are looking for.

3. To reverse the signs of ageing  

When you think of cosmetic procedures that are performed at your dentist’s office, anti-wrinkle treatments might not come to mind. But the truth is that your dentist can administer this quick and simple treatment designed to safely reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

During the process, a substance known as a neuromodulator is injected under the skin. The injection causes the muscles to contract, allowing the overlaying skin to relax — this then minimises the appearance of wrinkles and achieves a more youthful-looking appearance. The treatment is very popular, and only takes around 15 minutes to complete.
