We are living in a digital world, of that there is no doubt and this means amazing developments tech-wise and in this short article, we take a look at some of the cutting-edge cosmetic dental treatments that you can find at a leading Australian dental practice.
- Dental implants – The permanent solution to missing teeth, dental implants involve inserting titanium pins into the jawbone and these are anchors for prosthetic teeth. The treatment has two stages, the first is to insert the titanium pins and a temporary prosthetic is fitted and after 4-6 weeks, the pins have bonded with the bone and tissue and are strong enough to hold the prosthetic teeth. Take My Family Dental as an example, they have very experienced cosmetic dentists who carry out the work. If you are interested in this treatment, make an appointment at your local dental clinic and let the healthcare professional carry out an examination.
- Laser teeth whitening – If you would like a Hollywood smile, the latest generation of laser teeth whitening treatments can make it happen. You sit down with the dentist and choose the shade that best suits you (brilliant white is not a good idea) and it might take a few sessions to achieve the desired shade. Your gums are protected and your teeth are covered in a peroxide gel, then a laser light is directed and this reacts with the gel that whitens the tooth enamel.
- Porcelain veneers – A skilled dentist can shape and attach porcelain veneers to the front teeth, which straightens your smile. Crooked teeth are common and using porcelain veneers, you can straighten your smile and boost your self-confidence.
- Clear plastic aligners – Invisalign is the well-known brand that Australian use to correct tooth misalignment and what’s more, the aligner can be removed when eating. The dentist shapes the aligner so it exerts pressure at precise locations and the device might need to be changed at regular intervals.
Cosmetic dentistry has advanced in leaps and bounds and today, people of all ages can benefit from cosmetic dental treatment. Start with an online search to find a nearby dental clinic that specialises in cosmetic dentistry and the dentist would be happy to advise you on treatments.
