Applying Veneers
Veneers are bonded at the front of your teeth to restore damaged and chipped teeth. These are specially designed to look exactly like your natural teeth and are used to cover the yellow stains also. Teeth staining are caused by our daily food intake like drinking caffeinated drinks, smoking, eating fruits like black berries, etc. The surface of the porcelain veneers is slippery and hence these veneers will not get stained by smoking or drinking tea and coffee.
A traditional porcelain veneer requires preparation of tooth by drilling it and taking its impression in order to create the veneer in laboratory. However, you can also opt for Lumineer® veneers which do not require any sort of tooth preparation, such as drilling, or anesthetic shots.
Applying Braces
You can correct the alignment of your teeth by using braces. California cosmetic dentistry uses modern braces called Invisalign. Unlike the traditional metallic braces, these braces are made of clear plastic and are not easy to spot. Since these are almost invisible, you will not feel embarrassed to appear in public while you are wearing Invisalign.
Dental Implants
With the advancement in science and technology, sedation dentistry is now used for dental implant procedure. Sedation dentistry uses special anesthetic techniques so that the patient loses all sensation of pain in and around the mouth while the dental implant is done. This allows a patient to have a painless dental surgery. Modern dental implants use superior technology, using titanium screws to fix implant tightly on the gums. The artificial tooth is then given natural white color by a cosmetic dentist to resemble the rest of the teeth in the patient’s mouth.
