Finding a completely perfect smile has never been this easy. Long gone are the days when dental defects would limit one’s chances of finding the perfect smile. Gone are the days when we had to hide from the public and stay away to hide our imperfections. These days, we have corrective treatments to aid in recreating our looks and appearance. Nairobi Sterling Dental clinic can now easily give you that perfect smile you so crave. We bring you cosmetic treatment for dental defects.
Cosmetic treatments in dentistry are treatments offered to improve the physical appearance of the mouth, and teeth while improving our smiles. These treatments are offered by a cosmetic dentist. This is a dentist with higher level training and specialisation in cosmetic treatments and practices. Cosmetic dentistry is an elective field. This means that these treatments are optional and no one has to take them. They are purely performed by choice and will of the patient.
Nairobi Sterling Dental clinic requires one to have a dental consultation with our specialists before any cosmetic treatment procedure. During the consultation, the specialist will perform a series of tests to confirm the defect reported. The specialist also engages the patients with questions about the defect and their expectations from the treatment. They also guide the patients on the various available treatments. Furthermore, they also help their clients choose the most appropriate form of cosmetic treatment. This depends on the age of the patient, the condition and the nature of the defect.
We have various forms of cosmetic treatment offered at the Nairobi Sterling Dental clinic. These include:
Tooth whitening- One of the surest ways to create a perfect smile, is to have a perfectly white set of teeth. I mean, who doesn’t like a bright and glowing smile? Tooth whitening helps in the removal of stains on teeth that cause them to appear brown or yellowish. At our clinic, we offer tooth whitening treatment through the use of laser whitening and in-office whitening. We also have other treatments such as whitening toothpaste and rinses. Whitening gels, trays and strips are also alternative methods employed by our specialists.
Dental Veneers- These are wafer-thin and custom-made shells that cover the front surface of the teeth. They are bonded to the front surface of teeth. Veneers help to change the colour, shape, size and length of teeth. They are made from porcelain or resin. veneer fitting involves filling the enamel slightly and gently for about half a millimetre. The custom-made veneer is then bonded to the tooth through strongly adhesive materials. This process takes precision and time. It is also permanent and irreversible.
Braces- Braces are orthodontic treatments, but are considered cosmetic treatments also. They are dental tools used to correct crooked and misaligned teeth. Braces can also be used to correct crowded teeth and improve the bite. They work by exerting continuous pressure on teeth and repositioning them on the jaw. As the teeth move, the bony socket changes its shape and the jaw also adjusts to these new changes. There are several types of braces, ranging from metal braces to porcelain or even gold-coloured braces. The braces can be clear, tooth coloured and multi-coloured, according to your choice.
Dental crowns- Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that are fitted over weak and damaged teeth. These crowns help to improve the shape, size and strength of the damaged tooth. They also help the tooth regain its structural functions and appearance. Crowns are fitted over decayed, cracked, broken or worn-out teeth. They are custom-made to fit in well with other teeth. Dental crowns can be made from metal, porcelain, resin or ceramic material. They offer a long-term solution, as they can last for up to 20 years when they are well maintained.
Dental bonding- This is a cosmetic procedure in which, tooth-coloured resin is applied to the surface of the tooth. It is meant to improve the appearance of teeth. The resin is hardened on the surface using laser technology. This hardening also helps in binding the resin material to the tooth. Dental bonding is used in the treatment of cracked or chipped teeth, closing gaps or changing the shape of teeth. It is among the easiest and cheapest cosmetic treatments available.
Enamel shaping- It is also called enamel contouring. This is a quick and painless procedure, used to improve the appearance of teeth by reshaping them. It is used to correct minor tooth defects such as uneven teeth or slight overcrowding of teeth. Enamel shaping is often combined with tooth whitening, veneers or bonding. It has no downtime and the results can be seen immediately after treatment.
Implants- Dental implants are artificial teeth used to replace lost teeth that may be lost through decay, injury, accident or gum diseases. Implants are made from titanium but are proven to be safe for use. They help in restoring the structural and functional roles of the lost teeth. A makeshift tooth root, called a post, is placed in the jaw. It helps to provide a strong foundation for the attachment of the artificial tooth. Implants offer a permanent and durable remedy to tooth loss. They can be used for a single tooth or the replacement of multiple teeth. Implants are often used alongside dental crowns.
