Cosmetic dentistry is the process to go for with modern day technology for teeth whitening, bonding, veneers etc. It primarily focuses on improving the aesthetic appearance of teeth like color, shape, size, position, alignment and overall appearance of smile.  From subtle changes to comprehensive procedures, your dentist can perform a variety of tasks to improve your smile. Some of the techniques used in cosmetic dentistry are teeth whitening, bonding, porcelain veneers, implants etc. Teeth whitening Teeth can become stained or discolored over time due to various reasons like smoking, taking certain medications or consumption of certain foods and beverages like coffee and tea. Using a chemical process, your dentist can whiten your teeth in one of the two ways. He/She can do an in-office procedure or provide you with a system to use at home. If you want immediate white teeth then go for the in-office procedure. This generally takes 1-2 hours. If you prefer whitening at home, your dentist can create a custom mouthpiece tray that ensures the right amount of whitening solution reaches your teeth. This process, however, takes 3 to 4 weeks to witness results.

Bonding In bonding, enamel like dental composite material is applied to a tooth’s surface, sculpted into shape, hardened and then polished. Bonding can be used if your teeth have excess space between them or if they are chipped, stained or broken. Bonding is also used to fill small cavities or to protect the exposed root of the tooth. Bonding procedure is generally finished in a single office visit Porcelain Veneers Porcelain veneers are custom shells that cover the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers can be used for teeth that have spaces between them, are chipped, permanently stained or slightly crooked.  The procedure involves the dentist taking an impression of your teeth first. Veneers are then custom made and cemented onto the teeth. The teeth are then subjected to a beam of light to harden the cement and to secure the veneer to your tooth. Porcelain veneers are made in laboratory so you need a second visit to the dentist to get them placed.
