Cosmetic dentistry can do wonders in improving a person\'s smile and self-confidence. Using techniques such as dental implants, veneers, crowns, and whitening, it is possible to create a smile better than the one the patient was born with. While each has its uses, not all are right for every patient.

Teeth whitening is perhaps the fastest means of acquiring a dazzling smile. For those with gaps and damaged teeth, more complex procedures are needed to restore or create a perfect smile.

Dental implants may seem like the perfect solution to creating a perfect smile. However, it is a lengthy and more costly process, although not painful. While highly regarded over the years, many people may not be ideal candidates.

Dental crowns are very useful when perhaps one or two teeth are work down or are broken. Sometimes referred to as dental caps, crowns are made from artificial materials such as porcelain and then are applied over the natural tooth.

A patient who deals with the public on a frequent basis, particularly media personalities or salespeople, may find dental veneers an attractive option. They are ...
... quick, they are painless, they are cost-effective, and they are durable and attractive.

Dental veneers made from ceramics, bonding materials or porcelain. Sculpted to shape, these veneers are applied to the front surfaces of the teeth. Veneers can cover stains, gaps, and damaged teeth and are often a better alternative to orthodontic appliances for patients. When a patient doesn\'t have time for the lengthy straightening of teeth associated with orthodontics, veneers offer a rapid solution.

The first step is the initial consultation. Impressions are taken of the teeth and photos are taken of the patient\'s smile. A digital analysis of the smile is then performed. After this, a model of the desired smile is cast to provide a means of comparison for the clinician and a taste of a future smile to the patient.

The teeth are then prepared to accept the prototype veneers. Preparation involves trimming the teeth so that the veneers fit well. This is also an opportunity for the patient to get used to his future smile. Any problems or sore spots can be addressed before the final veneers are fabricated and applied.

The final step is the application of the customised veneers. Once they have been applied with a custom bonding material, the veneers are polished and any last-minute adjustments can be made.

Anyone who has ever undergone the time commitment and pain associated with orthodontics can appreciate the quick and pain-free aspects of dental veneers. They are very durable and attractive alternatives to orthodontic procedures and appliances. However, once applied, regular visits to the dentist are necessary to keep the natural teeth in good health and to make sure the veneers are working well. Additionally, scrupulous dental hygiene is required for a successful outcome.

Veneers, especially the porcelain ones, are very long-lasting if good oral hygiene is practiced. The average lifespan is five to ten years. Moreover, porcelain veneers are very popular because they look very much like the natural tooth surface.
