5 Most Popular Cosmetic Dental Procedures

June 12, 2019 by Ginelle Dientes Cosmetic Dentistry

When you smile, it’s one of the first things people notice about you. But if you have any imperfections with your teeth, it may make you feel self-conscious about showing them. As a result, you may stop smiling as much. Everyone deserves to have a smile they’re proud to show off. Here’s a list of the 5 most popular cosmetic dental procedures for people looking for a bright, white smile.

1. Teeth Whitening

Over time, your teeth can become stained from drinking, smoking, and aging. Teeth whitening is one of the most simple and most common cosmetic dental procedures done. In fact, 89% of orthodontists get teeth whitening requests. This type of cosmetic procedure is so easy to do that you can get whitening kits to conveniently use at home. However, the bleach used in dentist’s offices will be stronger, which means you’ll get better results that last much longer.

2. Braces

Braces are also commonly used for people with either crooked or crowded teeth, or those who may have bite issues. Long gone are the days of painful and ugly metal braces. Now, you can get clear braces that no one will notice. Do note that the plastic tray type of braces aren’t recommended for more serious cases, so always talk to your dentist about which option they recommend for your goals.

3. Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin shells that are attached to the fronts of your teeth. Since they’re bonded on, veneers can stay on your teeth for a long period of time. Veneers are made out of either porcelain or composite resin and are custom-made by your dentist to match your natural teeth. Veneers are used for a number of purposes: hiding stains, fixing crookedness, and filling in for poorly shaped teeth.

4. Dental Implants

If you’re missing any teeth, dental implants can help you restore your full smile. Implants are made of titanium metal and are permanently placed where your missing teeth are. Although they don’t replace your missing teeth, they provide a solid foundation for your replacements. You’d typically need a dental crown placed on top for the missing tooth. These are made of either porcelain, ceramic, or resin.

5. Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are cosmetic procedures done on your molars. They’re typically used for teeth that have a lot of damage and can’t support fillings but don’t require crowns yet. Both inlays and onlays fill in the damaged parts of your teeth so they look natural again. Inlays go on the inside of your teeth and can be made of ceramic, porcelain, or dental composite. Onlays also go on the inside of your teeth, as well as the chewing parts of them. They can also be made of ceramic or porcelain.
