Booking my dentist by smartphone app

I love that my family dentist is tech-savvy. It's so easy to book a dentist on his smartphone app if I have a tooth problem or if anyone in my family needs emergency problems (I can choose either my normal dentist or another dentist in his practise depending on availability). He also has some great cameras so that we can see exactly what is going on during treatment. I prefer not to see this, but my kids love to be able to see the dentist using his specialised tools to clean and repair their teeth. This blog has some tips on finding a tech-savvy dentist to help give your family the best possible dental care.

Services of a Cosmetic Dentist

by Jeff Rivera

Dentistry is not all about treating your teeth for gum disease. You also need to have your teeth look good, always. The significance of your teeth in your overall facial appearance provides relevance to the field of cosmetic dentistry. The standard dentists specialise in your oral healthcare and preventive care. A cosmetic dentist specialises in improving the aesthetics and health of your teeth. The following are some of the major services provided by cosmetic dentists.

Teeth Whitening

This is one of the popular services provided by cosmetic dentists. If you have coloured teeth and have been looking for the right medical practitioners to bleach them, you should contact your local cosmetic dentists. Through cosmetic dentists, you will get the safest options to whiten your teeth.

Orthodontics

Orthodontic treatments are provided to individuals who have crooked or improperly spaced teeth and they want them straightened.  You can choose several options.

  • Invisalign braces: These braces are easy to wear and fit comfortably in your teeth—without necessarily being seen by others.
  • Porcelain veneers: This cosmetic dentistry procedure is used to make crooked teeth appear straight. The procedure provides faster results than braces.
  • Bonded veneers: This option is another straightening option that is good for people who need minor teeth repairs.

Dental Implants

Having a missing tooth? Do not worry about it. Your local cosmetic dentist has just the perfect replacement. You will get an artificial tooth—implant—that is just as good as your missing natural tooth. The results can be amazing—giving you an enhanced smile.

Bonding

As the name suggests, this process involves application of a composite resin that matches colour of your teeth. A bright light is used to harden the resin and to repair discoloured teeth and cavities.

Crowns

These are caps placed over the teeth and may be used in conjunction with a dental bridge, which is used to replace multiple missing teeth. They can also be used to strengthen fractured teeth.

Dental Cleaning

 Although daily brushing of your teeth should give you significant protection, professional cleaning by a cosmetic dentist is recommended every six months. Dental cleaning will remove bacteria and built-up plaque that your everyday brushing cannot.

Gum Reshaping

If you have low or uneven gum levels, a cosmetic dentist can correct this through laser gum reshaping treatment.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

You can have a full mouth reconstruction if your whole dentition is broken down. For instance, if a considerable number of your teeth are missing, this will require every tooth to be replaced. This will be done in combination with crowns, veneers and implants.
