Traditional dentistry is more concerned with proper oral hygiene and the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral diseases, while cosmetic dentistry Melbourne CBD focuses more on improving appearance. This usually corrects problems such as crooked or broken teeth, discoloration or missing teeth.

After treatment, patients have a closed and shortened look on their smile and face. All you need is to find out the best cosmetic dentist Melbourne for the job.
Dental bonding
Bonding helps to improve the appearance of teeth if they are chipped, chipped, torn, stained or have too much space between them. This process involves placing an enamel-like composite resin on the surface of the tooth, moulding it into shape, hardening it with ultraviolet or laser light, and then polishing it. The result naturally blends in with the surrounding tooth structure and the rest of the teeth, improving one's smile. This cosmetic dental procedure is one of the easiest and can be done with a single office visit. Dental bonding can also be used to fill small holes or to protect the exposed root of a tooth. Modern dentists also use bonding as a replacement or alternative to silver or amalgam fillings.
Dental Braces
Nowadays both children and adults are benefiting from dental braces. Braces not only correct crooked or misaligned teeth, but they can also help correct an irregular bite, jaw joint deformity, or jaw position. Dental braces work by applying static pressure to the teeth to gradually shift them into alignment. A dentist or orthodontist uses metal, ceramic, or porcelain brackets and attaches them to your teeth. Arch wires are threaded through the brackets to position the teeth properly. Orthodontic braces are usually worn for about 1-3 years after which the maintainer replaces the braces to keep the teeth in their new positions.
Dental bridge
Bridges are sometimes called fixed partial dentures and are used to replace missing teeth or to bridge gaps between teeth. The materials used for dentures are usually made of gold, porcelain, alloys, or a combination of these materials. The procedure takes 2 visits of one hour each appointment. Bridges can last for 3-15 years if proper oral hygiene is strictly followed.
Dental crown
Also known as a cap, crowns are placed on a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength and appearance. Crowns or caps can be made from ceramic, metal, resin, or porcelain-fused-to-metal materials and are used to cosmetically repair broken or severely stained teeth. An expensive procedure, crown is recommended by dentists only when other procedures have failed to give effective results. The dental crowns can last 5-15 years.
Dentures
Dentures are removable artificial teeth that replace missing teeth and the tissue surrounding the teeth. There are two types of dentures, complete and partial. Partial dentures are used when there are few natural teeth left, complete dentures are used when all the teeth in the top or bottom row are missing.
Enamel Contouring and Shaping
Also known as odontoblast, enameloplasty, stripping, sculpting, re-contouring or contouring, this cosmetic dental procedure is applicable only if you have healthy, normal teeth. It involves the removal or contouring of tooth enamel to change the length, position or shape of teeth to improve appearance. It is used to correct minor dental defects and results can be seen immediately. This procedure is usually combined with bonding, teeth whitening, or veneers. For more details contact us now.
