What are the different types of cosmetic dentistry in Melbourne?


Traditional dentistry deals more with proper oral hygiene and prevention, diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases, while in Melbourne cosmetic dentistry focuses more on improving appearance. It usually resolves issues such as crooked or sticking teeth, discoloration or missing teeth.


Bite Reclamation


This treatment is done to change the vertebral parameters of people whose teeth have suffered from years of wear due to excessive grinding and acid reflux. After treatment, patients see a closed and short look on their smile and face.

Dental bonding


Bonding helps to improve how teeth look, whether they are broken, torn, stained or if there is extra space between them. The process involves compound resins such as enamel on the tooth surface, hardened with ultraviolet or laser light and then polished. The result naturally blends in with the surrounding tooth structure and the rest of the teeth, which improves a person’s smile.


This cosmetic dental procedure is the easiest of all and can be done with a single office fee visit. Dental bonding can also be used to fill small cavities or to protect exposed roots of teeth. Modern dentists also use bonding, or replace silver or amalgam fillers.


Dental Bridge


Bridges are also sometimes called fixed partial dentures and are used to replace missing teeth or to close the gap between teeth. The materials used for dentures are usually made of gold, porcelain, alloys or a mixture of these materials. The process takes 2 visits per hour in each appointment. If proper oral hygiene is strictly adhered to, bridges can last for 3-15 years.


Dental crowning


Also known as caps, the crown is placed on top of a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and appearance. Crowns or caps can be made from ceramic, metal, resin or porcelain-fused metal materials, and cosmetics are used to repair broken or severely stained teeth. An expensive procedure, the crown is recommended only when other procedures do not give effective results. The crown can last for 5-15 years.


Dentures


Teeth are removable artificial teeth that replace missing teeth and the tissues around the surrounding teeth. There are two types of dentures, full and partial. Partial dentures are used when a few teeth are left, while whole dentures are applied when all the teeth move up or down the line.


Enamel contour and shape


Also known as Odontoplasty, Enameloplasty, stripping, scalping, re-contouring or contouring, this cosmetic dental procedure is applied to your healthy, normal teeth. This should include a change in the length, position, or shape of the tooth to remove the enamel or improve the appearance to include the contour. It is used to correct minor imperfections of the teeth and the results can be seen immediately. This procedure is usually combined with a binding, white tooth or purse.

Inlays and Onlays


Also known as indirect fillers, these are often made from porcelain or composite materials used to compensate for tooth decay or other structural damage to teeth. Unlike dental fillings, which come into place quickly during your office fee visit, the best cosmetic dentists can fit them first and tie them in place.


When the filling material is attached to the center of the tooth, it is called "inlay"; When a tooth is filled in one or more points or contains a cutting surface, it is called "onlay". This cosmetic dental procedure can be an alternative to the crown and preserve a healthy tooth for a long time.


Gum Grafting


Hawthorn East Dental - Gum decay and contact with tooth roots can bring sensitivity to hot and cold. This condition is no longer visible to the teeth and can lead to tooth decay or even bone loss. Gum graft is a treatment that involves soft tissue grafting that can transplant healthy gingival tissue to other parts of the mouth, in addition to improving the beauty of the mouth to prevent or prevent damage to the mouth and bones.
