Cosmetic Dentist
in Hamersley

Many people are choosing cosmetic dentistry for its various benefits for oral health and aesthetic reasons:

• You can look younger.
  Every procedure has the purpose of improving the cosmetic perspective of the teeth. Brightening the shade colour and straightening the alignment of the teeth can give you a more presentable and youthful look.
  
  
• Cover tooth imperfections.
  It can feel good when your long-time crooked teeth, spacing issues, misshapen teeth, and other cosmetic problems have been improved. You can enjoy the benefits of having the virtually perfect, healthy smile you’ve been dreaming of having.
  
  
• Promote oral health.
  Cosmetic dental treatments aren’t all about aesthetics but are also beneficial to the health of your teeth and gums. When your teeth are not overlapping, or other tooth imperfections are improved, brushing your teeth can be easier and reduce the risk of plaque buildup and decay.
  
  
• Bring back the balance of a smile.
  It cannot be easy to deal with teeth misalignment. It can cause excessive pressure or strain in your jaw area. But dental veneers may help to make your teeth better aligned.

We highly recommend consulting your dentist if you’re considering aesthetic dentistry services. So they can evaluate your teeth and gum health and determine whether you can undergo the procedure. Generally, a good candidate possesses the following:

• Have a healthy tooth enamel.
  Cosmetic treatments such as veneers require removing a portion of the tooth surface or dental enamel. At the same time, professional teeth whitening uses an active ingredient that may not work well if you have thin enamel. So, it’s important that you have healthy teeth to withstand these procedures.
  
  
• Do not have existing oral health issues.
  Any dental problems may interfere with the success of cosmetic treatments. A good candidate must not have tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.

Your initial appointment with your dentist usually entails a discussion of your desired outcome, an oral assessment, and treatment options.

• Discussion of a smile goal.
  Your dentist should know what you want to achieve and your reason for your cosmetic dental treatment. In this way, they can get an idea of what procedure is ideal for achieving their personal goals.
  
  
• An oral assessment.
  Usually, it follows an in-depth evaluation of your teeth and gums. Your dentist needs to have a clear picture of your oral structure so that a dental x-ray may be necessary. They may also ask about your medical history to prevent adverse effects or interfere with the treatment.
  
  
• Recommendations and treatment plan.
  Then, the dentist can move forward to recommending potential cosmetic dental services for your case and create a personalised treatment plan.<

Cosmetic dentistry is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified dental professional. Yet, similar to other dental treatments, there are risks associated with undergoing one. However, your trusted dentist will take the necessary precautions to avoid them.

The general risks and adverse effects may include the following:

• Redness of the gums.
  It may be the reaction of the gum tissue when adjusting to a foreign object like veneers. It should subside, but if it persists, you should call a dentist right away.
  
  
• Tooth sensitivity.
  It is a common side effect of teeth whitening due to exposure to bleaching agents. It is a temporary reaction and should also subside after a few days.
  
  
• Gum bleeding.
  One potential risk is bleeding gums, which may occur if the veneers aren’t properly attached or have bulky margins.
  
  
• Nerve damage.
  It is very rare but a potential risk due to prolonged exposure to anaesthesia. We recommend contacting your dentist if you feel any signs of nerve damage, such as a lack of sensation in the affected area, partial sensitivity, and tingling.
