Before you step your way into a cosmetic’s dentist’s office, it helps to know what exactly you want to correct. Many dentists will try to lure you into buying more than what you actually need. In the case of veneers, they will most likely try to convince you to get porcelain veneers – the most expensive veneers money can buy.

Common dental problems including tooth chips or gaps do not require the use of porcelain veneers to get fixed. While porcelain veneers certainly do sound lucrative, they should be used to mask other, more significant dental problems. A simple and cheap composite resin veneer can make you teeth look millions of times better at a reduced cost. Further, composite veneers only require one dental visit to be installed (as they require no lab wait).

If your dental issue requires you to get porcelain veneers, don’t be fooled into getting more of your teeth done for a proper blend. A cosmetic dentist can make sure your dental veneers match the existing color of your teeth.

In conclusion, I would likely to caution you to be very careful when going in for a veneer procedure. You can easily be tricked into spending more money than a dental issue warrants. Be careful and enjoy your new smile!

But remember that it isn’t always cheap. Depending on the procedure, you may feel your pocket lighter by one to several thousand dollars.

Some of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures include bonding of front teeth, whitening of yellow teeth, and using tooth-colored fillings, which almost blend in with the natural color of teeth. However there are still many more that exist. So, here is a list of some key cosmetic dental procedures that can help your smile dazzle:

Bleaching or whitening – Both the enamel and the underlying tooth structure (the dentine) are not impervious to stains, and often yellow over time. Bleaching is a popular method for treating moderately stained or discolored teeth. Here the dentist makes a mold of your teeth to make a custom ‘mouthtray’. This ‘mouthtray’ is filled with bleaching material and is pressed against the tooth surface without letting it come in contact with the gum tissue. The tray is generally worn for up to 2 hours a day. A noticeable improvement can be seen within 2 weeks.

Bonding – Here the dentist ‘bonds’ a tooth colored resin onto the tooth in order to repair a fractured or worn or chipped tooth.  This process can also cover up a discoloration on a tooth, or close a small space or gap between two teeth. The dentist coats the tooth with a bonding liquid and then shines a light on the tooth to set it. All this is done after he prepares the tooth by etching it.  A putty-like material is then placed on the tooth which is then made into the desired shape. A trim and polish later, the end product is ready to steal a heart. And the best part is that it will be 3 to 5 years before the bonding may need to be repaired.

Veneering – Porcelain laminate veneers do the same job as bonding does, only it is a stronger way to repair a broken tooth. Veneering can also cover up discoloration and even change the shape or size of your teeth. The process comes with the advantage that the luster will not be lost.

Recontouring uneven teeth – This is basically a procedure to reshape an uneven tooth so that it’s a better match with the entire set.

Braces – Braces are a very common method of changing one’s appearance. An orthodontist who is involved with diagnosis, prevention and treatment of problems caused by poorly positioned teeth prepares and attaches the braces. These braces come as fixed or removable appliances. The idea is to use this appliance to gently move the teeth and bone until they are in a desirable position. The process may take anywhere between 18 months to 30 months (or sometimes even longer) for the desired result.
