Almost every health-conscious individual these days knows that a teeth whitening procedure is a basic one that everyone must go through these days. Call it cosmetic surgery or just the desire to be presentable in the world where ‘first impressions’ count for a lot, the surge of interest in cosmetic dentistry has increased exponentially these days.
Yes, you can have white teeth in one hour’s time along with the appropriate education in preventative measures that ensures you keep your teeth in top condition for a long time. With the objective of keeping your teeth looking natural and healthy, both restorative and basic cleaning procedures are options available to the patient, of which the latter has made progress by leaps and bounds in the past few years.
Take for example, dental bridges that are known as fixed partial dentures which are normally used in restorative procedures to replace missing teeth. How this works is that based on the material of the bridge and the location of the missing tooth which is reduced on either side, after which the bridge is placed in position.
Dentistry implants are another example of the progress that dentistry has made to make our lives better, by allowing for an artificial tooth root to resemble actual teeth while the patient can go back to living a normal life, in not having to fear that his teeth might fall out while talking or even facing discomfort when eating food that he or she would otherwise avoid.
Yes, dentistry is more than having clean teeth!
