Cosmetic Treatments that Benefit Your Oral Health

October 13, 2021

Cosmetic dentistry has been wrongfully understood as a superficial and rather unnecessary treatment. However, people fail to realize that it's more than that. That is because Aventura cosmetic dentistry can also serve as restorative treatment that enhances the quality of your smile.  

Transforming your smile into a dazzling one shouldn't be frowned upon. A beautiful smile contains the power to rebuild your shattered self-confidence caused by the appearance of your teeth. In this way, cosmetic treatments not only enhance your oral health but also alleviate your overall health.

What are Cosmetic Treatments You Can Benefit From?

Teeth Whitening

In most cases, teeth discoloration is beyond a person's control since our teeth can undergo wear and tear. The discoloration is also more common in people with an increased intake of coffee or tea. That is because the dark color of these beverages integrates with the enamel of the teeth.  

Thankfully, you can rely on teeth whitening to bring back the desired whiteness of your teeth. You feel more confident going about your daily activities with a brighter smile, especially when dealing with other people.

Veneers

When you have a set of teeth with unequal shapes and sizes, dental veneers may help solve that issue. Veneers are also perfect to close off gaps in between each tooth. This treatment employs the removal of a thin layer of enamel from the front part of your teeth. Veneers are typically made from porcelain, so they can provide strength and resilience like natural teeth.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent replacement for missing teeth. Filling those empty spaces with false teeth are not only for cosmetic purposes. Over time, when tooth loss is not addressed, the patient may face serious dental issues like a misaligned smile due to shifting.  

When you have a missing tooth, the nearby teeth soon adjust to close the gap where the lost one resided. Because this movement is unguided, the teeth can go in any direction. Your facial appearance will also suffer down the line as your jawbone formation takes a hit.  

Teeth Straightening

Another cosmetic treatment you can get is teeth straightening. Straight teeth are not only necessary to make your smile look dazzling. The alignment of your teeth directly links to the way you enjoy your food. One common issue with crooked teeth is called overbite. This is when your upper front teeth stick out too far from the lower front teeth.  

In this case, the upper and lower teeth don't meet to properly bite and chew off food. This type of malocclusion is detrimental to a patient's oral health as this can lead to irreparable damage to teeth and jaw pain, including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.  

Both are significant health complications that shouldn't be taken for granted as they can heavily affect a person's well-being. Thanks to recent advancements in cosmetic dentistry, overbites are just one of the many dental issues that teeth straightening can fix.
