Dental aesthetics in Friedrichshain – more than just cosmetics

White teeth and a naturally beautiful smile are attractive to many people and are a sign of well-being. However, dental aesthetics as such mean more than just cosmetic aspects. Aesthetics play an important role in numerous specialist areas of dentistry, the demands of which are also met by dental care using dental prosthesis must meet. Patients have a wide range of dental esthetic treatment options available to them.

Types of treatment in “white” esthetic dentistry

Modern dentistry has the right method for optimizing the appearance of almost every aesthetic problem. In the “white” area, which refers to corrections to the teeth, these are:

Bleaching
Veneers
Inlays
all-ceramic crowns and bridges
Tooth position corrections

Bleaching

For better dental aesthetics, many discolorations can be removed with a professional tooth cleaning. professional tooth cleaning remove. However, if the desired result is not achieved, for example in the case of stubborn discoloration, so-called bleaching is used: teeth that appear yellowish or greyish are whitened using low-dose hydrogen peroxide pastes. This can lighten teeth by several shades.

Although today’s procedures are gentle on tooth enamel and therefore not a problem for dental health, you should not smoke for 48 hours after the treatment and refrain from drinking coffee, black tea or other coloring foods. This ensures that the result is not negatively affected.

Veneers

Veneers are also frequently used to optimize dental aesthetics. These wafer-thin veneers made of biocompatible ceramic are firmly bonded to the visible front of the teeth and are permanently fixed. They can be used to cover discoloration that could not be removed with bleaching. They can also be used to correct misaligned teeth, replace broken tooth corners, enlarge teeth that are too small or close a gap that is too large between the incisors.

Inlays

Inlays are tooth-colored fillings made of ceramic, which are made by your dentist in Friedrichshain into the affected area of the tooth. If, for example, part of the tooth has been ground down to remove caries, the natural structure of the surface can be restored using appropriately shaped inlays and the function of the chewing apparatus can be kept intact. The prerequisite for inlays is that sufficient tooth structure is still present to support the inlay and withstand the pressure of chewing. In terms of dental aesthetics, inlays are preferable to conventional fillings made of dark, non-tooth-colored metals, as they are not noticeable when speaking or laughing.

All-ceramic crowns and bridges

All-ceramic solutions, including the veneers and inlays described above, are mainly used in the front teeth and are custom-made by dental technicians. All-ceramic restorations such as crowns or bridges in particular have the great advantage of ceramic materials in the visible area: the light penetrates into the deeper layers of the tooth without a metal substructure, so that all-ceramic restorations look particularly natural and significantly improve dental aesthetics. In addition, dental ceramic does not cause allergies, resists discoloration and does not wear away through chewing.

With the modern, computer-aided CEREC 3D-process, the tooth or area to be restored is measured in a matter of seconds to create a gapless dental arch. On this basis, veneers, inlays, crowns and bridges can be milled or ground from ceramic blanks by machine and with the highest precision. In this way, the ideal dental prosthesis, which also meets the requirements of aesthetic dentistry, is created almost without contact and completely painlessly.

Tooth position and gum corrections

In addition to tooth color, tooth misalignments in particular affect dental aesthetics. However, slight misalignments can be corrected with almost invisible, transparent splints. Gum corrections with minimally invasive surgical procedures can harmonize the relationship between teeth and gums. The gums can also be reconstructed, for example by shaping soft tissue flaps into so-called pseudo-papillae and thus imitating the real gums.
