Everyone knows that the signs of aging inevitably appear on the face of every woman and every man. To remove unwanted time marks from various parts of the face, rejuvenation specialists have long had a variety of tools, technologies and procedures in their stock. Today Estet-portal will tell you about how specialists in the field of cosmetic dentistry help restore a youthful smile.
The face can be considered as three separate zones: the upper third - the forehead - is associated with the brain, the middle third - from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose - with emotions, the lower third - from the base of the nose to the tip of the chin - with sensuality. The work of specialists in the field of cosmetic dentistry is precisely the lower third of the face.
Tooth color problems
Due to antibiotic treatment, tooth enamel may turn purple-blue or brown. There are only two possible solutions to this problem: porcelain veneers if the discoloration is not too deep, or full porcelain crowns if the discolouration cannot be covered with veneers. Veneers are very thin cosmetic sheets of only 0.3 - 0.5 mm thick, which are quite transparent.
Darkened brownish or yellowish teeth that are free from cracks and breaks can be lightened with a bleaching procedure. During this procedure, a thermoformed nozzle is used, due to which a greater effectiveness of the procedure and longer-lasting results are achieved. During the course of the procedure, the patient is advised to refrain from eating solid or liquid foods and drinks that can discolor the teeth.
Tooth problems related to their shape, volume and size
As we age, our teeth wear out, shorten, become thinner, darker and yellow; the lower part of the face droops, which contributes to the appearance of wrinkles on the face.
After a clinical evaluation, dentists determine the exact shape, volume, and size of new teeth to help eliminate signs of sagging in the lower face. The new height of the vertical bite (between the upper and lower jaw) raises the tips of the lips and thus smoothes the vertical wrinkles that run from the corners of the lips to the chin.
The new, lighter tooth color is matched to the patient's skin tone. Thanks to this, the teeth become shiny and dazzling.
With younger patients, specialists have more problems, since in such patients the lower part of the face does not require correction, the main task in this case is to restore the harmony of the face and its beauty.
A preparatory clinical evaluation is required only for older patients, as in their case, the specialist may prescribe gum surgery as well as cosmetic dentures in order to achieve more attractive results.
Tooth position problems
Orthodontics is great at aligning, rotating, or moving teeth, but it doesn't deal with issues related to the shape, volume, or color of teeth.
To be effective, force must first be applied to the teeth, so these procedures take quite long periods of time. Many adults do not have enough patience to wait until the end of such a procedure, so they are more inclined to opt for cosmetic dentures, since the latter can achieve the desired effect faster.
However, patients should be aware that dental prosthetics lead to a change in the initial state of the tooth, affecting its integrity. The choice of the patient is provided with a large number of prostheses: veneers, crowns, bridges and implants. Patient selection depends on various clinical and financial factors.
In case of minor irregularities, a new procedure can be applied: bonding veneers directly onto the teeth with minimal filling: this technology is faster and less invasive, but its use is limited to a few clinical cases.
Problems associated with falling or losing teeth
Missing teeth can also be inserted, cheeks plumped up, lip support provided and the patient's profile reshaped with bridge implants or prostheses, which may require prior surgery to increase bone volume if such bones are involved in supporting titanium bases, on who place ceramic crowns or bridges.
All of the above techniques (whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges and implants) allow dentists to restore their patients' teeth to their former glory, change their smile and facial expressions, and give them a dizzying or sensual smile.
In order to optimize the aesthetic result, specialists combine these procedures with augmentation of the surrounding soft tissues with hyaluronic acid injections. In this way, they manage to get a new shape of the mouth, increase the volume of the lips and change their texture through hydration.
