This can include, in extreme cases, such processes as orthodontics and maybe oral maxillofacial surgery. A long face might need an accent to make it appear more oval. Someone with an attractive feature in the center of the face might need bold central incisors to draw attention to that center. Length, proportions, textures The length of the teeth affects the overall facial appearance. This material can also be directly applied and sculpted to the surfaces of teeth that are prominently displayed during a smile. (This is termed as a minimally invasive smile makeover.) Procedure The first part is the material selection process. This is where the cosmetic dentist chooses the right tone of the composite resin (white or natural-looking dental bonding materials) to match the patient s own natural shade of teeth. And it is about time that people recognize the value of a great smile. It is after not only just the skin and the figure that needs to be great-looking, one must also have great sets of teeth. This is especially needed for people who have careers that involve meeting people and convincing them. A great smile gives a person an aura of trustworthiness and dependability. When you research about these them (and what they can do), it is important that you must also know the risks that are involved as well. After your own reading and investigations, consult with a cosmetic dentist for the many other questions you may have in mind the pros and cons of each treatment, the costs, the risks, the advantages and many others. Unlike old metal fillings, inlays and onlays do not expand or contract in contact with hot or cold foods. (Constant changes in size, however minuscule, weakens and eventually fractures the affected tooth.) Strength and beauty Because of the way they are made (custom-fitted), they help strengthen teeth by up to 75% their original strength. They would probably not even need any work at all. Usually, people who go to cosmetic dentists require major work and reconstruction on their teeth. These are the people who have too many teeth or those with twisted teeth or gaps. With those whose mouths are too cramped, they will probably have a lot of tooth extractions which will give your teeth space to move and adjust.
