The smile is one of the first things a person will notice. It is also one of the most determining factors of the personality of a person as well as how comfortable they are with other people. Most people that have oral health problems tend to be more reserved and do not interact much with others for fear of what others may think of their teeth. Having a smile that they could be proud of would help them to be more comfortable around others and smile more often. However, to fix their teeth, a professionally board certified dentist that has speciality training in Cosmetic Dentistry would need to be consulted.
In order to make a proper plan to fix the oral cavity the dentist would need to examine the mouth through X-rays. After the evaluation is completed, the dentist would be able to create a treatment plan that is minimally invasive. Sometimes, the oral cavity damage is so bad that multiple surgeries may be needed and other health care professionals would need to be consulted. Damage that is not as extensive may be completed in the dentist office in less than a few hours.
When performing Cosmetic Dentistry, the dentist may ask the patient how they would like to look, what other issues they may be having with their mouth. Some of the work the patient may need to have when completing this elective procedure is having their teeth shaved in order to be in line with the other teeth, having some teeth pulled if there are too many on one side, installing caps on broken teeth, pulling teeth that are not able to be repaired, teeth whitening and veneers.
After the elective procedures are completed, the dentist would need to see the patient for various follow-up appointments to ensure the patient is not having any adverse reactions. The dentist will monitor the patient closely to ensure that other problems do not arise and that the teeth are healing properly. If the dentist sees that there are other issues that need to be addressed, he may admit the patient to the hospital for further services.
