With Help From A Cosmetic Dentist NYC Everyone Can Smile Confidently

By David Wright


It may be unfair but it is an undisputed fact that most people almost immediately form a first impression of people that they meet. In the majority of cases it is the smile that they will first notice. An open, friendly and healthy smile inevitably forms a good impression. The opposite is also true. Missing, discoloured and rotten teeth always create a very poor first impression. Thankfully, with help from a cosmetic dentist NYC nobody needs to be ashamed to smile.

Dentistry that focuses on cosmetics is not really a speciality and is not recognized as such. The field of dentistry has come a long way and almost all treatment methods and procedures keep in mind that the patient does not want to be embarrassed to smile. Therefore almost every dental procedure has some enhancing element involved. The underlying problem is solved but the teeth must look attractive afterwards.

If teeth are decayed but not so badly that the root and support system of the teeth are compromised, inlays can be the answer. A specially prepared composite resin is prepared by a dental laboratory and fitted over the tooth. A special dental adhesive is used to fit the composite to the tooth and the result not only covers the cleaned cavity but also redefines the original shape of the tooth.

Another way in which to repair decayed and damaged teeth or to hide discoloured ones is through composite bonding. First the dentist applies to bonding to the tooth and then he sculpts it into the required shape. Composite bonding is one of the most affordable and popular ways in which to repair teeth and to hide defects at the same time. The bonding may require replacement every few years.

A dental veneer is another very popular option but they are rather expensive. Their main attraction is the fact that they are remarkably realistic. The treatment consists of a high grade ceramic application to the front of each individual tooth. This is done with a safe dental adhesive. A special veneer is made for each individual patient in order to ensure that it is an exact match for the other teeth. They hide cracks and even crooked teeth.

One of the most popular treatments is teeth whitening. There are kits that one can use to whiten the teeth at home, but experts have warned that this can lead to serious dental damage. It is safer to have it done in the dental office where he will apply a special preparation to bleach or whiten the teeth that became discoloured due to smoking, drinking and even eating certain foods.

Unfortunately, there are instances when the damage to one or more teeth is so extensive that they cannot be repaired any longer. In such cases there is no choice but to remove them. Thankfully nobody has to deal with the gaps left by extracted teeth. Dentists can fit crowns that look just like a normal tooth and that will last for a life time. The crown is attached with a titanium screw.

Nobody needs to be ashamed of their crooked, missing, discoloured or rotten teeth. Dentistry has indeed come a very long way from the days when dentists performed fillings and extractions. The ability to smile with confidence is certainly worth the cost of treatment.
