Why People Flock To A Cosmetic Dentist NYC

By David Wright


The vast majority of people will form a first impression of someone they meet within seconds. One of the very first things that people note is the smile of the person they meet. If it is a wide, white, healthy smile, a good impression is created, but the opposite is also true. Rotten or missing teeth and other visible dental problems inevitably create a very poor first impression. Fortunately, with help from a cosmetic dentist NYC there is no reason to feel ashamed.

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.

Inlays and on lays are very popular in cases where a tooth is decayed but not to the extent where it has to be removed. In such cases, a dental laboratory will make the inlay from a strong composite resin material. The result is glued with special dental glue onto the surface of the tooth. They not only strengthen the tooth but also restore its shape, enhancing the way the tooth looks.

Composite bonding is another way in which dentists not only repair decayed or damaged teeth but also to hide discoloured teeth. The composite is applied on the surface of the tooth and then sculpted into the correct shape. Composite bonding is one of the most affordable ways in which to improve the appearance of the teeth while at the same time treating damage or cavities.

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.

Whitening is an extremely affordable solution for people that do not suffer from any visible defects to their teeth but that suffers from discolouration. This may be due to smoking, drinking and eating certain types of food. Dentists warn their patients not to use one of the many home remedies that are available but to rather let the dentist perform the treatment. Ready made kits are cheaper, but they can actually be dangerous.

No veneer or inlay will help if a tooth is decayed or damaged to the extent that it has to be removed. In such cases all is not lost, however. Dental implants are common procedures where a crown is screwed into a titanium screw implanted into the teeth. Modern crowns are extremely realistic and it is impossible to tell that they are not real teeth.

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.
