Cosmetic dentistry is focused on enhancing your smile. Over the last few years, this profession has skyrocketed in popularity. Today, we are going to be looking at five of the top trends that have been circulating in the cosmetic dentistry industry. Let’s get right in!
5. Gum Contouring
For those with gums that lay high or low on your teeth, gum contouring may be an option for a more attractive smile. Gum contouring reshapes your gums to fall in line at a normal position, giving you a better smile. Along with the aesthetic influence of gum contouring, this procedure can also make your mouth healthier.
4. Dental Veneers
Another popular cosmetic dentistry trend is dental veneers. Dental veneers go over your teeth, serving several purposes. First, they can mask the imperfections of your teeth, making for a better smile. Additionally, they can be used as a protective layer to guard your teeth. The most popular material used in dental veneers is porcelain.
3. Dental Implants
For those who have had tooth extractions, an excellent way to mask that hole is through dental implants. Dental implants preserve the natural look of your teeth as opposed to a bridge. Dental implants act as the root of a crown, keeping it in place. Along with the cosmetic benefits of dental implants, they can also help your mouth maintain its current shape.
2. Invisalign
A trend that had rapidly gained popularity over the last few years, Invisalign is a cosmetic dentistry staple. Invisalign is used on people who have crooked or out of position teeth. Over time, it begins straightening out your teeth, giving you a smile to be proud of. Invisalign is especially popular for those who had braces, but their teeth are out of position.
1. Natural Teeth Whitening
Many people struggle with yellow or stained teeth often caused by smoking, coffee and tea. Rather than blast white teeth, a current trend in the cosmetic dentistry field is naturally white teeth. Cosmetic dentists recognize that most whitening products strip the enamel off of your teeth, which could potentially cause future problems. Methods such as using baking soda and oils are being used to attain naturally beautiful teeth.
