Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentists are generally members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. a practice that has an emphasis on using tooth colored restorations as well as additional technology in changing appearance by enhancing your smile. There are credentials that can be pursued in several organizations. A few cosmetic dentists do not do a lot of pediatric dentistry or dentures. Cosmetic dentists are heavily involved in continuing education as well as mentoring. This area is often mistaken as a specialty because some specialists like prosthodontists, oral surgeons, and periodontists deliver their specialty services to enhance cosmetics. See Meet Dr. Bonnick for more information, Our Practice Cosmetic Dentistry Photos as well as What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Dr. Bertrand Bonnick provides a number of cosmetic dentistry services that can improve your smile. Some of his most popular cosmetic dental procedures are porcelain veneers, dental bridges and dental crowns.
Porcelain veneers are useful for covering up cracks in teeth, worn enamel or uneven teeth. Basically, they are shells made out of a ceramic material that go over existing teeth. Veneers are not used to replace teeth; they are simply used to improve the appearance of teeth that are already there.
Dental crowns are used to salvage severely damaged teeth. When dentists install a dental crown, they make a mold of the existing tooth and create a custom cap to go over it. That cap is used to hold the tooth together and create the appearance of a normal tooth.
Dental bridges are useful for replacing several missing teeth in a row. When dental bridges are installed, crowns are placed on existing teeth on either side of the missing teeth to stabilize the bridge.
