What is aesthetic dentistry
A complex of therapeutic and orthopedic measures offered by the aesthetic dentistry clinic allows you to improve the structure of tissues, the appearance of individual units and the dentition as a whole.
Dental restoration allows you to:
- Eliminate unevenness, chips and scratches of enamel.
- Hide non-carious lesions (wedge-shaped defect, spots, etc.).
- Change the length and width of the crowns.
- Remove diastemas and tremata (too wide interdental spaces).
- Align the dentition.
Aesthetic periodontics can solve problems such as uneven gum line, loss of mucous membrane tissue and exposure of the neck of the tooth.
Aesthetic prosthetics involves the installation of microprostheses (veneers and lumineers) on the frontal group. If there is a significant defect or there is a need to restore the anatomical shape of molars and premolars, the manufacture of crowns is indicated.
Please note: Veneers are ceramic overlays up to 0.7 mm thick that require mechanical preparation of the tooth. Lumineers are much thinner, and there is no need to grind down the enamel before fixing them.
Dentures are made from ceramics, metal-ceramics or zirconium in a dental laboratory equipped with the latest medical technology. Finished products do not differ in color and shape from intact (healthy) teeth and are characterized by high wear resistance.
Aesthetics in orthopedic dentistry is of great, but not decisive, importance. When working with chewing teeth, special attention is paid to functionality.
Methods for eliminating defects
The main ways to eliminate defects in enamel and dentin are artistic restoration, as well as the installation of ceramic onlays on the vestibular surface. For restoration, specialists at the aesthetic dentistry center use photopolymer (light-curing) composites, which can be ideally matched by color.
Main stages of direct restoration:
- Professional cleaning (ultrasonic and mechanical) to remove soft and hard deposits.
- Selecting the desired shade of the material.
- Local anesthesia.
- Treatment of caries (removal of softened infected structures).
- Isolation of a tooth from saliva using a rubber dam.
- Chemical treatment of the cavity (disinfection and etching).
- Rinsing.
- Drying with a jet of compressed air.
- Layer-by-layer application and curing of photopolymer material.
Important: In case of pulpitis, vital extirpation (removal of the neurovascular bundle) and canal filling are first performed. and in case of a large defect in the supragingival part (more than 50%) - installation of a pin made of titanium or fiberglass.
Doctors at an aesthetic dentistry clinic in Moscow use restoration materials that will last at least 10 years. Artistic restoration of the dentition with composites is carried out in one visit.
Indirect restoration in cosmetic dentistry is the production of veneers, crowns and bridges based on individual casts. Thin translucent ceramic onlays allow you to achieve ideal evenness and symmetry of the dentition.
After treatment, the patient is no longer embarrassed to smile and gets rid of complexes. The disadvantage of veneers can be considered the need for minimal preparation (grinding). In addition, a person with such microprostheses will have to give up too hard foods (nuts, crackers, etc.) in order to avoid cracks and chips.
Veneering stages:
- Examination, diagnosis of pathologies and preparation of a treatment program.
- Dissection.
- Making onlays in the laboratory.
- Fitting and installation.
Ceramic products do not require bleaching. They do not change color even when consuming foods with chemical dyes, strong tea or coffee. The guaranteed service life of veneers ranges from 5 to 10 years or more.
At the first stage, the doctor at the medical center for aesthetic dentistry will discuss with you the desired “design” of the dentition. The specialist will conduct an objective assessment of the condition of the oral cavity, identify dense deposits to be removed and possible pathologies of the mucous membranes. If necessary, the placement of microprostheses can be postponed until complete clinical recovery.
Please note: If you plan to install a single plate, its color is selected based on the adjacent teeth. In cases where correction of the entire frontal group is expected, the patient chooses the shade that he likes best.
During the preparation, a layer of enamel up to 0.5 mm thick is removed. The procedure takes from 15 minutes to 1-2 hours depending on the number of teeth to be ground. After preparation, impressions are taken with silicone impression material. A plaster model is cast from them, using which the technician will make ceramic plates.
The duration of the laboratory stage of aesthetic dental correction is on average 1 week. During this time, the patient may have temporary structures installed. At the final stage it is carried out checking color and shape, cleaning the surface, polishing, applying adhesive and fixing the veneer using a photopolymer composition. It takes about an hour.
Prices for aesthetic dentistry depend on the nature of the activities and the total scope of work.
