Considering the influence of media and fluctuating fashion, the recent increase in aesthetic dental interventions should not be a surprise.
Advancement in dental technology introduced new materials which became extremely popular in the field of aesthetic dentistry. Adhesion and resin composites have been significantly improved and they have managed to shift the profession to a less invasive approach. Avoiding irrecoverable tooth loss, minimal invasion and respect to nature and biology, is our golden standard at; Burgate Dental Practice & Implant Centre.
Size, shape, colour and position of the teeth are common issues that lead patients seek help from their dentists. In enhancing the appearance of front teeth, there is a range of options available according to the nature of the patient’s issue, desire and expectations.
Common teeth related, aesthetic concerns are; 1. Discolouration, 2. Size, shape, 3. Position.
Discolouration; treatment of discolouration is usually by common bleaching, however direct composite resins often used to mask intrinsic discolourations of various severity. Teeth Whitening (bleaching); in comparison to other restorative approaches is the most conservative way to alter teeth shade. Accurate diagnosis of the aetiology is essential for a successful treatment outcome. When successfully administered, is one of the safest, least invasive and inexpensive aesthetic procedures currently available.
Size, shape; issues in size and shape can be treated with simple enameloplasty, direct or indirect composite resins and ceramic veneers.
Position; usually treated with orthodontics (short-term or comprehensive), direct or indirect composite restorations and ceramics.
Aesthetic dentistry is elective, and communication is essential before treatment, at Burgate Dental Practice & Implant Centre we follow a methodological approach; we discuss, examine, assess, diagnose and treatment plan based on our patients’ unique needs and options available.
