TYPES OF AESTHETIC DENTISTRY
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells crafted from a strong, translucent dental ceramic. They are designed to be permanently bonded to the front surface of the teeth.
They are a popular choice in aesthetic dentistry because the porcelain material is incredibly durable, stain-resistant, and mimics the natural translucency and light-reflecting properties of tooth enamel, resulting in a very natural-looking smile.
A porcelain crown is a custom-made, tooth-shaped "cap" that completely covers the entire visible part of a tooth, down to the gumline.
Like a porcelain veneer, it is designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, but its primary function is to provide 360-degree protection and structural strength.
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a common aesthetic dental procedure that lightens the color of your natural teeth and helps remove stains and discoloration.
The process uses a bleaching agent, most commonly hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These active ingredients penetrate the porous outer layer of your tooth (the enamel) to break down the discolored molecules (chromogens) that cause staining. This chemical reaction makes the teeth appear brighter and whiter.
