A complete and all-inclusive solution for the oral care to maintain the dental health and aesthetics is called 'Cosmetic Dentistry'. In this article, we'll look at the treatment, materials, tooth shaping and other aspects of teeth defects.
The very common and very first treatment that is done is 'Whitening'. This is the bleaching of tooth and has a lot of ways and techniques to be conducted. Enamel shaping shapes the uneven shapes of the teeth. Bonding is just another method in which a composite dental material is pasted at the tooth's surface. Veneers are laminates that are bonded with the tooth. They are placed in front of the teeth and repairs the teeth as well.

The impressions of the mouth are then taken by the dentist. The whole procedure requires about two hours. In the mean time, the patient is given temporary veneers. Finally, the porcelain is etched into veneers. It takes about two weeks to get ready to be used by the patient. After two week, the patient can get them fitted in his teeth. The price of such a perfect and comprehensive solution is also needed to be stated. It requires about $1000 for one tooth, the complete making of veneers and about six veneers are required for front six teeth.
