Dental cosmetic treatments are becoming more and more popular as people become more aware of the benefits they offer. Investing in your smile is about more than just improving your appearance, it can also help to improve your oral health and encourage you to take better care of your teeth. Many cosmetic treatments are also restorative, meaning they will restore function.
If you are considering cosmetic dental treatments for yourself, then you will want to know about the latest options that will be available in 2022. In this blog post, we will discuss three treatments that are likely to become very popular in the next few years.
Dental implants
Dental implants are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments and for good reason. They are a very effective way to replace missing teeth, and they can also be used to support other cosmetic treatments such as dentures. Dental implants are small titanium screws that are placed in the jaw where they fuse with the bone. This creates an anchor for a dental restoration such as a crown, bridge or even a full denture.
Orthodontics
Another popular cosmetic dental treatment that can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth and bite is orthodontics or teeth straightening. In recent years, there has been a lot of progress made in orthodontic treatments, and this is likely to continue in the next few years. There are now a number of different options available, including clear braces and invisible aligners. If you’ve been put off getting your teeth straightened in the past because you don’t like the look of fixed metal braces, you’ll be pleased to learn there are much more discreet options available now.
Composite bonding
Composite bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that can be used to repair a number of different problems. It can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth, and it can also be used to repair damage such as chips and cracks. Composite bonding is a very versatile treatment that can be used for a wide range of cosmetic and restorative purposes. It’s also a lot cheaper than many restorative treatments such as veneers or orthodontics. Treatment can be completed in just one visit, so you can improve your smile instantly.
Teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is another cosmetic dental treatment that has become very popular in recent years. It’s a simple and effective way to improve the appearance of your teeth, and it can be done at home or in the dentist’s chair. There are a number of different products available, and your dentist will be able to advise you on which one is right for you. If you thought teeth whitening was just for celebrities and Hollywood stars, think again. It has become more accessible and affordable in recent years, so anyone can achieve their dream smile.
Porcelain veneers
Porcelain veneers are another cosmetic dental treatment that can be used to improve the appearance of your teeth. Veneers are thin sheets of porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They can be used to change the shape, size and colour of your teeth, and they can also be used to close gaps and make your teeth appear better aligned. They are also suitable for making teeth look whiter, which is ideal if you have discolouration that does not respond to teeth whitening.
