Enhancement of facial beauty is one of the primary elective goals of patients seeking dental care. The lower one third of the face has a major impact on the perception of facial esthetics. Frequently improvements in natural beauty can be expected to follow restoration of ideal relationships between the denture and the facial soft tissues. By improving deficient facial proportion and integumental form, surgeons, orthodontists, and restorative dentists have the unique opportunity to address these esthetic needs. Unfortunately, most of the time we as dentists have limited ourselves to the intra-oral arena of esthetics when in reality, the beautiful picture you are painting inside the mouth does not stand alone but is only part of the story. It is about time that we realize that esthetic dentistry does not begin or end inside the lips. Teeth need to fit into the entire framework of the face. The clinical ability to alter dentofacial form, whether through orthodontics, facial growth modification, or surgery, requires an understanding of facial beauty, including the evaluation of facial esthetics,proportions, and symmetry. With modern advances in dentistry, cosmetic procedures can range from tooth color enhancements, laminates, composite bonding,correction of the misalignment of the teeth etc. to digitally design your overall smile. The changes brought by various modalities of Dental procedures will give you that wow look!

This logical approach to treatment has now been accepted as the best methodology by other specialists and healthcare regulators. Dentists are the only practitioners who are truly able to provide this sound approach –combining dental and facial treatments under the one roof, in the same appointment,making treatment less painful, more convenient and more comprehensive. 

FACIAL TREATMENT

Wrinkle reduction (otherwise known as Botox®) is a natural substance derived from a micro-organism which relaxes muscles and reduces the appearance of wrinkles from underneath the surface of the skin.

Treatment is used to prevent and reduce lines and wrinkles which appear as frown lines between the eyes, forehead lines and crow's feet. Although the results can be dramatic with treatment, it will not radically change your facial appearance.

Dermal fillers (in the form of Restylane)offer a safe and natural cosmetic treatment that restores volume and fullness to refresh and revitalise your looks.

Ideal for deeper lines and wrinkles, dermal fillers work at a deep dermal level to delay the signs of ageing by ‘filling out’ and smoothing away wrinkles in trouble some areas that include nose to mouth grooves, forehead lines, frown furrows, lipstick lines and crow's feet.

DENTAL TREATMENT

All of us desire a beautiful smile. In fact many of us go through extensive dental treatments to achieve that. But sometimes small corrections in the teeth can bring about a sea of change. 

Teeth whitening

It is the most common cosmetic procedure but before that it is necessary to evaluate that will bleaching will resolve the problem or not. In some cases different cosmetic procedure can meet the aesthetic expectation;on the other hand bleaching is safe, fast and easy procedure that shows instant effect.

Most recent advancement in tooth whitening is laser which shows six times better result than any other procedure

Reshaping

Reshaping of tooth involves removing of part of enamel to improve the appearance of tooth. It may be use to correct slight chip or to alter the shape size and position of teeth. It is also known as enameloplasty, odontoplasty, contouring, recontouring, slenderizing, stripping.

This procedure offers fast results and can even be a substitute for braces under certain circumstances.

Aesthetic restoration

Bonding is a process in which an enamel-like dental composite material is applied to a tooth's surface, sculpted into shape, hardened and then polished, which are used to repair decayed and cracked teeth and midline diastema.

Veneers/Laminate

These are wafer-thin shells of tooth-coloured material that are fixed to the front surface of the teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. They can, not only close the spaces but also can change the shape, shade, and position of the teeth. In fact dental veneers are for your teeth what false fingernails are for your hands.

Gum  lift

A gum lift is a cosmetic dental procedure that raises and sculpts the gum line. The procedure involves

reshaping the tissue and underlying bones to create the appearance of longer or more symmetrical teeth. 

Gum depigmentation

You can get rid of the black or brown color of your gums and have pretty pink color gums. This can be done by a dentist through a treatment of gums called as gum stripping or gum“depigmentation”   

Straightening

Invisalign treatment is being used as an alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign helps in treating spacing,crowding, and overlapping teeth to create the smile patients desire. Clear aligners are comfortable, invisible and easy to clean.      

Bite Reclamation           

Bite reclamation is for patients who have had years of excessive wear to their teeth due to grinding or acid reflux can alter their vertical dimension. This gives them a closed or shorter look to their face and smile. By opening up their bite, a qualified professional can reclaim their vertical dimension.

We all can do a magnificent job of making teeth look great and giving people a healthy and beautiful smile. Esthetic dentistry has been an absolute boom over the last 30 years when it comes to such innovative techniques as teeth whitening and minimally invasive veneers. Teeth whitening can now be done in less than one hour. Minimally invasive veneers at.3mm can’t get much thinner. CAD-CAM and other technologies will definitely impact all of these areas in the future by making esthetic delivery systems that will make procedures faster. The final result though will all be the same –patients will still be receiving a beautiful smile just like they are today.
