Cosmetic dentistry encompasses several procedures dentists use to repair damage to teeth or give patients more confidence in their smile. For example, dentists apply indirect fillings, known as inlays and onlays, to restore and fix the shape of teeth that are too decayed to be treated with a regular filling. Custom-made in a dental laboratory out of composite resin, inlays and onlays are attached to teeth with dental cement. The result is stronger, more attractive teeth that can resist further deterioration. Another cosmetic dentistry procedure is composite bonding. A relatively inexpensive procedure, composite bonding is used to repair decayed, chipped, or discolored teeth with a composite colored like tooth enamel. During the procedure, the dentist removes any tooth decay, then applies the composite to damaged teeth, sculpts it into the right shape, then sets it with high-intensity light. Medical-grade ceramic veneers are another option for people looking to improve their smiles. Also custom-made for patients, veneers look very realistic and are useful in solving a variety of cosmetic dental problems. No matter what the condition of your teeth, a cosmetic dentist can use these techniques and others to get your smile looking its best.

Thank you so much for your information about composite bonding and how it can help people who have chipped or cracked teeth. My relatives have asked me to start watching what I eat ever since they noticed that my teeth have become cracked and irregular, and I wanted to know what I could do to return my eating habits back to normal. I initially thought that getting my teeth replaced was the only way, but now I'll ask around for any cosmetic dentists that can offer composite bonding instead.
