Mankind has been searching for the secret of “eternal youth” for thousands of years.
Nowadays, the word “aesthetics” is all around us, the beauty industry is pushing boundaries never seen before, because who wouldn’t want to stay young and beautiful forever?
Aesthetic teeth that harmonise with the facial features can give a confident, youthful, well-groomed, radiant image of their owner.
Aesthetic dentistry is aimed at much higher than average needs. Patients seeking aesthetic dentistry have expectations that require the use of the most modern materials and procedures. In these cases, the aim is not just to restore chewing ability, but to achieve an aesthetic experience that meets the highest standards. These patients do not want to compromise on aesthetics. They want a lifelike, regular smile that radiates health and confidence. These procedures are in the premium category, where only the best is acceptable.
Advances in science and technology are allowing the beauty industry to increasingly intertwine with certain branches of medicine, including dentistry. The primary aim of aesthetic dentistry is to combine beauty and health in a way that meets all needs.
In the past, aesthetic dentistry was mainly concerned with the orthodontics and dentures included. Today, this range has expanded considerably. With the advent of newer and newer materials and techniques, dental options that can greatly improve the patient’s quality of life are becoming increasingly available.
Dental interventions that are also covered by aesthetic dentistry:
- tooth-coloured (composite) tooth filling
- metal-free restorations: inlay, onlay
- Zirconia or full ceramic tooth replacement (crown, bridge)
- ceramic shells
