NYSDA and ADA strongly disagree with the World Health Organization’s guidance advising that routine, non-essential oral health care, including oral health check-ups, dental cleanings and preventive care, be delayed.
Tooth-colored fillings are composite resin fillings that consist of materials the cosmetic dentist can use to match the natural color of a patient’s teeth. After removing the cavity or the damaged portion of a tooth, the dentist uses specially fabricated composite resin to restore the patient’s tooth.
Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, white shells made of porcelain. A cosmetic dentist adheres these thin porcelain shells to the front of the patient’s natural teeth. By covering the front of the natural tooth, the appearance of the teeth improves greatly. Dental veneers are perfect for treating discolored, chipped, crooked and misshapen teeth.
Crowns
Traditional dental crowns consist of metal and porcelain. While a traditional crown serves its purpose well and provides the patient with beautiful results, an all-porcelain crown has the translucency characteristic that is seen in the natural tooth. Therefore, the all-porcelain crown offers patients a higher degree of realism than its traditional counterpart does.
Bridges
The stronger porcelain materials and adhesives available today allow for the creation of bridges consisting entirely of porcelain. An all-porcelain bridge provides the patient with a dental prosthesis that has a translucency similar to that of the natural teeth.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is the perfect solution for broken, chipped or cracked teeth as well as many other minor aesthetic issues. This bonding process can also help individuals who have misshapen teeth or tooth decay.
A dental crown may also be referred to as a cap. The cosmetic dentist uses dental crowns to improve the appearance of misshapen or discolored teeth. Crowns are also ideal for placement over decayed and damaged teeth. In addition, a dental crown serves as the visible portion of the tooth when a patient receives dental implants or a bridge to replace missing teeth. Moreover, when a patient receives a root canal, a dental crown covers the portion of natural tooth that remains.
