Back in 700 BC, someone managed to create a set of dentures out of ivory. Ever since, people have been on the hunt for a cosmetic dentist that could get rid of any imperfections that keep them from having the perfect smile!
Back in 700 BC, someone managed to create a set of dentures out of ivory. Ever since, people have been on the hunt for a cosmetic dentist that could get rid of any imperfections that keep them from having the perfect smile!
In the nearly 3,000 years that have passed since that first set of dentures, we have seen countless new cosmetic dentistry tools and techniques. These 3 are relatively new, but they'll make it easy for your cosmetic dentist to give you a smile that's perfect!
1. Dental veneers
In Los Angeles, the pressure to look perfect can be intense. If you're insecure about your smile, a good dentist can eliminate your worries with some veneers.
What are they?
The dental veneers in Los Angeles are made out of porcelain or resin. They're very thin sheets, to be exact, that get applied right to the front of your teeth. That way, your cosmetic dentist can cover up gaps in your teeth, make crooked teeth appear straighter, or even make your teeth look longer. Plus, the materials that are used to make dental veneers ensure that you'll instantly get a brighter, whiter smile!
2. Dental Porcelain Crowns
If your teeth need more than just a "cover up", your cosmetic dentist might fit you for porcelain crowns.
What are they?
Similar to the crowns of old, they slide right over each tooth like a little cap and are held in place with special cement. But instead of being made out of metal, today's crowns are made out of porcelain. That way, you wind up with a whiter smile, instead of a mouth full of metal!
Because they cover your entire tooth, dental porcelain crowns can actually strengthen broken or damaged teeth. They can also go over titanium dental implants, so that you get a mouth full of pearly whites -- without having to wear dentures!
A good cosmetic dentist understands that tooth color is not a one-size-fits-all process. The right shade will depend on your skin tone and the shade of your existing teeth that aren't getting covered up with porcelain.
Luckily, it's easy for your cosmetic dentist to come up with a shade that works perfectly -- thanks to new custom porcelain shading techniques! Today, creating the perfect shade is as easy as mixing some chemicals together. That way, you'll never have to worry about your teeth looking fake or uneven. Instead, you'll have the bright, healthy smile you've always dreamed of!
