Dentistry is a very wide branch of medicine, and cosmetic dentistry is one such division of this emerging field. Dentistry deals with the complexities of the teeth and works to relieve any functional issues. While cosmetic dentistry particularly focuses on improving the aesthetic appeal of teeth.

It seems like a wild idea that people who naturally have bad teeth can also get a perfect set of teeth. But the advancements in dental treatments and technologies and the use of more intricate and detailed procedures have enabled physicians to make their teeth look the way they would like them to. A number of dental procedures can be adopted by cosmetic dentists that enhance the appearance of one’s teeth and smile.

Veneer Placements

This dental procedure has been sought by many well known celebrities to completely alter and enhance the appearance of their teeth. Veneers work to hide many flaws of teeth at once. People with misshaped, misaligned, crooked and discoloured teeth can all be relieved through veneers.

How do they work?

Veneers are a popular form of treatment because their procedure is relatively simple and minimally invasive. A wafer this sheet of porcelain is placed over the damaged tooth, which has already been prepped for the placement. The veneer is bonded over the tooth with resin to make it firmly attached.

To understand how they work the simple way, consider that a clear and perfect sheet of tooth like material is placed over the tooth which hides all the apparent flaws and leaves behind a perfect tooth. That will have the same shade of colour as the remaining teeth making it very natural-looking.

Dental Face Lifts

Cosmetic dentists often explain that an attractive smile is not only composed of perfect teeth but also has a lot to do with the surrounding muscles and tissues of the facial region.
Dental face lifts involve the complete reconstruction of a smile. By removing all of the old fillings, crowns and decays, and then the teeth are cleaned and the missing teeth are replaced with natural looking dental implants. If needed veneers and crowns are also placed to hide any faults of the teeth
The complete dental face lift procedure performed on patients allows them to enhance their overall facial appearance that makes their smile look much more natural looking, by diminishing any faults and signs of aging in their teeth.

Teeth Whitening and Bleaching

Ever wonder how our teeth are affected by the constant exposure by the food and drinks we intake?
All of us love drinking teas, coffees and soda’s throughout the day but the sugar and caffeine content in them greatly damages the appearance of our teeth. Their outer enamel layer becomes discoloured over time by this exposure and teeth appear stained.

Bleaching is a chemical process that removes these stains. While other teeth whitening procedures may be more advanced using lasers and light activated technologies to make sure that all the teeth are whitened evenly, last for a long time and in no way damage the teeth’s structure.[:zh]牙科是医学一个很广的分支，美容牙科是该新兴领域的一个分支。牙科处理牙齿的复杂性，缓解任何功能性问题。美容牙科特别着重改进牙齿的美学效果。
天生有坏牙的人也能得到完美的牙齿听起来像一个疯狂的想法。但是牙科治疗和技术的进步以及对于更复杂和详细的程序的使用使得医生能够让其牙齿看起来与其想要的一样。美容牙医可以采用很多提高牙齿外观和微笑的牙科程序。

布置贴面

很多知名的名人寻找此牙科程序以完全改变和提高其牙齿的外观。贴面一次隐藏牙齿的很多瑕疵。有着造型不佳、排列不齐、弯曲的和变色的牙齿的人都可以通过贴面获得解脱。

它们如何起作用？

贴面是处理的流行方式，因为其程序相对简单微创。陶瓷晶片被放到已准备好布置的受损牙之上。用树脂将贴面固定到牙齿上使其牢固附上。

要理解它们如何以简单方式起作用，考虑将清澈完美的类牙材料放在牙上，隐藏所有明显的瑕疵，留下完美的牙齿。那将与剩余牙齿颜色一样，使其看起来很自然。

牙科整容

美容牙医经常解释有吸引力的微笑并不只包括完美的牙齿，也与周围的肌肉和面部区域组织有很大关系。
牙科美容涉及微笑的完整重建。通过去除所有老的填充物、牙冠和腐蚀，然后清洁牙齿，用看起来自然的牙种植体置换失去的牙齿。如果需要，也布置贴面和牙冠以隐藏牙齿的任何瑕疵
对病人进行的完整牙科美容程序通过减少其牙齿的任何毛病和老化痕迹允许其提高使其微笑看起来更自然的总体面部外观。

美白和漂白牙齿

想没想过我们的牙齿如何被我们摄入的食品和饮料影响？
我们所有人都喜欢在一整天喝茶、咖啡和苏打水，但是对其中的糖和咖啡因的暴露很大地损害我们的牙齿的外观。随着时间，此暴露使其外牙釉质层变色，牙齿看起来有污渍。
漂白是去除这些污渍的化学过程。其它牙齿美白程序可能更高级，使用激光和光敏技术确保所有牙齿均匀美白，持续很长时间，并且不损害牙齿的结构。
