A Guide to the Different Types of Cosmetic Dentistry in 2022

Cosmetic-Dentistry

Did you know that around 40% of people in the United Kingdom are unhappy with their teeth to some degree? Some are so ashamed of how their teeth look that they may try not to smile or laugh. Fortunately, there are many types of cosmetic dentistry that you can try if you aren’t happy with your teeth. 

What is cosmetic dentistry, you might ask, and how can it help improve your smile? Keep reading and learn more about the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures below.

Adult Braces

Adult braces are extremely common in the cosmetic dentistry industry. Crooked teeth are not something you can fix at home. They are also quite bad for your oral health. 

Crooked teeth can leave you at a higher risk of developing tooth decay and cavities. In severe cases, adult braces may also make it difficult for you to chew food or pronounce certain words correctly. Adult braces can fix all of these problems. 

There are many braces to choose from such as metal braces, ceramic braces, clear aligners, and so on. After about a year of wearing braces, your teeth should be straight and your smile should be more attractive than ever.

Cosmetic Contouring

Cosmetic contouring is another way to get a perfect smile. It is a way to change the shape or size of your teeth. Many people may want this procedure for a variety of reasons. 

If you find, for example, that your teeth are too long, too round, or have something else that you don’t like about them, cosmetic contouring can help. It involves the removal of some of your tooth enamel. This is usually done either with a laser or a drill. 

Don’t worry about any pain in this procedure since your dentist will give you some local anesthetic beforehand. That way, you won’t be able to feel any discomfort. 

Veneers

Veneers are a great way to improve your teeth in a variety of ways. Veneers are shell-like pieces of porcelain or composite resin that cover the surface of your teeth. They are not functional and instead purely cosmetic. 

Many people get veneers if they want bright white teeth. However, veneers are also great for covering chipped teeth or slightly crooked teeth.

Veneers are typically very durable and they can last you more than a decade as long as you take good care of them. 

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are both functional and cosmetic. Crowns are similar to veneers but they cover the entire tooth like a cap instead of just the front of the tooth. This is great for protecting dead or sensitive teeth. 

However, the tooth needs to first be sanded down into a small nub. That way, the crown can cover it completely. Crowns are very realistic and most people won’t be able to see any difference between a crown and a regular tooth. 

Types of Cosmetic Dentistry

There are many types of cosmetic dentistry to choose from and, as a result, there are many ways to improve your smile. If you’re not happy with your teeth, why not go to your local dentist and see what kind of cosmetic dentistry procedures might be a good fit for you?
