Cosmetic and laser dental therapy is
a group of dental treatments that help to enhance the beauty of the smile of a
human being. Traditional cosmetic dentistry is usually about the process or
procedure that deals with aspects of whitening, veneers, and bonding. And, the
emergence of laser technology has transformed this practice. Dental lasers
provide a less invasive, more accurate, and in many instances more comfortable
way of performing numerous treatments. Such procedures can sculpt the gum,
bleach a stain off, make a tooth ready to have a restoration fitted without
excessive bleeding and requiring less time to heal. These two disciplines
combined present an effective method for having a beautiful and healthy smile.
Indications:
● Stained or Discoloured Teeth: This is because teeth are stained or yellowed over time, depending on age, food, or lifestyle. Laser whitening is effective, quick, and potent in brightening a smile by a few shades within a visit.
Indications:
● Too Much Gum Showing or at Uneven
Gum Line: An overabundance of gum tissue that shows or an irregular gum line
can render a person embarrassed about smiling. The gums can be painlessly and
accurately shaped with laser gum contouring to give a far more attractive and
well-proportioned smile.
● Chipped, Cracked or Worn Teeth: Cosmetic bonding can correct
minor flaws, such as chips or cracks in a tooth. A tooth-colored resin is
bonded to the affected tooth's root and cured with a special light. The tooth
surface can be prepared using lasers to obtain optimal bonding.
Effects:
● Improved Esthetics and Self-Esteem:
The short-term, most dramatic impact is improving the smile's appearance. By
fixing flaws, one can obtain an attractive and confident smile, which adds much
more self-esteem.
● Minimally Invasive Procedures: It is more precise with the use of lasers and painless when compared to the more traditional methods. This can translate into reduced anaesthesia requirements, minor bleeding, and a more peaceful and faster experience as a patient.
● Quicker Healing and Recovery: Lasers kill bacteria as they go along, thus causing less chance of developing infections and faster healing times following procedures such as gum contouring.
