It is one of the most general operations in aesthetic dentistry

One of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to brighten your smile is teeth whitening. In-office teeth bleaching costs around $500, but you may also whiten your teeth at home with a mold and gels purchased from your dentist. In-office bleaching is the more expensive option. Additionally, whitening toothpaste, rinses, and Whitestrips are readily accessible at retail outlets for purchase over the counter. From $3 to $50, these goods are available.

The crown is covered with veneers

Wafer-thin porcelain or resin shells, custom-made to fit over ...
... the fronts of teeth, are known as dental veneers. After removing a half-millimeter of tooth enamel, these thin shells are bonded (cemented) to the front of teeth to alter their color, shape, size, or length. Veneers are often referred to as "Hollywood teeth" because they resemble natural teeth. A single tooth might cost between $500 and $1300 to have this operation done.

Dentists use dental bonding to join two or more teeth together

The tooth is coated with a tooth-colored, putty-like resin. This long-lasting plastic is cemented using ultraviolet or laser light. Your dentist will next trim, shape, and polish the tooth. Bond can be repaired using bonding to damage, chipped, fractured, or misshapen teeth. Cosmetically, it can be used as a substitute of amalgam and silver fillings. Bonding a single tooth typically takes 30 to 60 minutes and costs $100 to $400.

A dental crown

When a tooth is decaying or damaged above the gum line, a crown is used to cover and restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Prevent a tooth from cracking or fracturing by using crowns to hold a fractured or discolored tooth in place. Metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, resin, or ceramic are the materials used to construct the heights, which cost $500 to $900.

There are two kinds of inlays: inlays and Onlays

Dental fillings known as inlays and onlays, sometimes known as indirect fillings, replace decaying or broken teeth. Inlays and Onlays are made in a dental laboratory and bonded to your teeth by a dental professional. Inlays and Onlays are made at a dental laboratory and bonded into place by your dentist. In contrast, dental fillings are placed in the mouth during an office visit. "Inlays" refer to dental restorations that are bonded to the inside of a tooth's crown. An "only" filling refers to a filling that covers the entire biting surface. Crowns work well with inlays and onlays because they preserve as healthy tooth structures as possible. Between $650 and $1,200 per tooth is the cost of this aesthetic dental treatment.

Implants in the mouth

Implants are titanium roots inserted into the bone socket of a missing tooth. As the jawbone heals, it develops around the metal post, securing it in the jaw and laying the groundwork for a new tooth. It could cost anything from $1,250 to $3,000 for this procedure.
