Cosmetic Dental Procedures We Offer
Cosmetic dental procedures are of different types; your dentist will determine the most suitable one for you. In most cases, you may need a combination of cosmetic treatments. Some procedures offered at Omnia Chino Hills cosmetic dentistry clinic include:
· Teeth Whitening
A non-invasive, cosmetic dental procedure that uses bleaching agents to lighten the color of the teeth. The most common teeth whitening method uses hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel, which is applied to the teeth and then activated with a special light or laser. This process can be performed in a dental office or at home with a take-home kit at Omnia. Teeth whitening is a relatively safe and effective way to improve the appearance of discolored or stained teeth.
· Dental Bonding
This is a type of cosmetic dental procedure that involves the use of a tooth-colored resin or ceramic material to repair or improve tooth appearance. It is a relatively quick and simple procedure that can enhance the appearance of the teeth and smile. Dental bonding can be of the following types:
· Veneers & Laminates
These are thin, customized shells made of porcelain or composite resin and are used to improve the appearance of the teeth in cosmetic dentistry. The dentist will shape the tooth slightly to prepare it for the veneer or laminate.
· Composites
In this type of dental bonding, the dentist applies the resin-based composite bonding material to the tooth's surface and then hardens it with a special light. Once the material hardens, the dentist will shape and polish it to match the surrounding teeth
· Crowns and Bridges
Crowns and bridges are dental restorations used to improve the appearance and function of the teeth. Crowns are caps placed over a tooth's top to restore its shape, size, and strength. They are typically made of porcelain or a porcelain-fused-to-metal material and are designed to match the color and appearance of the surrounding teeth. Crowns can be used to restore teeth that are damaged or decayed or to improve their appearance.
Bridges are a unit of three or more crowns used to replace missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, supported by crowns on either side. The crowns are placed over the adjacent teeth, and the pontics fill the gap left by the missing
teeth. Bridges can be used to restore the appearance and function of teeth and prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
· Orthodontics
Orthodontics focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws by using braces or other orthodontic appliances to apply gentle pressure on teeth and move them into their proper positions. It forms a part of cosmetic dentistry as it improves the appearance of the teeth and smile by correcting misalignment and other issues that can affect the aesthetics of the mouth. Orthodontic treatment can take several months or even years to complete, depending on the severity of the misalignment and the specific treatment plan.
