What are Porcelain Veneers?

They say that a person’s smile reflects the confidence they have inside. Unfortunately, there are many individuals, who may not be totally happy with their smile. Perhaps, they have an issue with crooked or broken teeth.
A pronounced overbite may be a cause for embarrassment. These are just a few of the kinds of things that may be a source of trouble for someone. Less a perfect smile no longer has to be something that an individual cannot change. Cosmetic dentistry can give a person back his or her confidence and smile. Cosmetic dentistry can make all of the difference in the world. There are a number of options people can try to improve their appearance.

Cosmetic dentistry is quite different than it was a decade ago. Today, dentistry can do amazing things that can give anyone a beautiful smile. So many things that are considered imperfections can be changed.
Implants, whitening procedures, and gum lifts are some of the things that this type of dentistry can provide. The joy of seeing a less than perfect smile become radiant and beautiful is worth the effort.
Porcelain veneers are a procedure that restores straight, evenly spaced teeth. Charles Pincus invented them. They are not easy to stain, and they are perfect for correcting yellowing or dark teeth.

The first thing the dentist does is make a mold of each tooth that is going to be covered. The process can be totally non-invasive, and in most cases it is not necessary to receive shots.
Once the molds are completed they are attached to the individual’s permanent teeth with a very powerful adhesive. There are advantages to having this procedure done. A person’s teeth will take on an appearance that is healthier and more natural looking.

As stated before, they resist staining, and if they do stain, it is easy to remove the stain. A visit to the dentist for a cleaning is all that is required to eliminate the problem. Unlike cosmetic bonding, veneers are semi-transparent, and that helps give it that natural appearance.
Veneers are a great way to give a person back their smile. A person, who is not ashamed of their smile, shows it in their personality. They feel good about themselves and they are ready to take on the world.

Teeth Whitening Procedure

Most of us are born with fairly white teeth. Over the years though, food chewing, smoking and sugary desserts take a toll on the white color of the enamel -- they're not so pearly white anymore. Thankfully, the procedure of teeth whitening can clean up dirty teeth and restore the shine that makes you want to smile again. People who use this cosmetic procedure obtain results that they are happy with and some patients are truly ecstatic.

Teeth whitening attacks two types of stains. Extrinsic stains appear on the surface of the teeth and form from years of contact with foods, tobacco or syrupy liquids. Intrinsic stains are located inside and are caused by aging, trauma or certain minerals when the tooth was beginning to form. Both extrinsic and intrinsic stains can be removed.

Younger adults will have an easier time whitening their teeth and some will experience superior results. As a patient gets older, their teeth become more difficult to whiten. A yellow cast starts to form on many individuals teeth in their late twenties. By the time a person reaches the age of 50, a multitude of stains have been absorbed, and at that stage, it will be more difficult to whiten the teeth but it's definitely not impossible.

Teeth whitening can be performed in two separate ways. The in-office procedure requires a shorter amount of time for the color change to take place. It uses a peroxide gel that's placed on your teeth for 15 to 20 minutes. Three to four of these sessions are required to remove the gunk that's been built up over the years. Stubborn stains may take an extra session. It all depends on how stained your teeth are.

What You Should Know About Bite Reclamation

Bite reclamation is a commonly performed dental procedure. This procedure is usually only done when one needs vertical dimensional repair. This means that there's significant wear and tear on your teeth which have caused them to become noticeably uneven or shortened. On not so common occasions, bite reclamation is performed on patients with a painful jaw disorder, such as TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint).

The causes of such wear and tear can range between anything from acid reflux disorder, to grinding your teeth together, either awake or in your sleep. Depending on the cause and the individual, the type of treatment can differ. Since everyone is different, it's unlikely that any two patient's treatments will be exactly the same. This also depends solely on the doctor and what findings they come up with in their tests.

It may be necessary for some patients to have the reclamation done on both their top and lower jaw. An advantage to bite reclamation that may be seen as a bonus on the patient's part, is that correction of an improper bite can prevent unnecessary wrinkles from forming around the mouth.

The dentist should bring up just what costs there are to the patient's individual procedure. The pre-exam and following tests may vary significantly, depending on just how much work needs done. It may also not be done in a single sitting. It may be necessary for their dentist to request that the patient schedule for more than one visit, in order to fully complete their work on the bite reclamation. They should also take into account any other issues and possible alternative treatments.

If there are any pre-existing health concerns that the dentist may be unaware of, it's important to mention them before the procedure begins. All dental procedures are done with minimization of pain in mind. The mouth should be completely healed within a few weeks of the bite reclamation procedure, although any aftercare questions should be specified by the doctor themselves. Certain aftercare may differ depending on the specific procedure that was performed or may even require a pain prescription prescribed by the dentist.
