Dental General Practice
Dental general practice is a type of dentistry that focuses on providing preventive, restorative and cosmetic treatments to patients. This type of practice is typically responsible for diagnosing, treating and managing oral health problems. This includes regular check-ups, preventive care, fillings, cleanings, extractions, sterilization, crowns and bridges, root canals, and more. In some cases, a dental general practice may provide orthodontic services.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of a person’s teeth, mouth, and smile. The process of cosmetic dentistry can include a variety of treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and orthodontics. A consultation with a cosmetic dentist is usually the first step in the process. During the consultation, the dentist will examine the patient’s teeth and discuss their goals and concerns. The dentist will then recommend a treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs. The patient will be informed of the risks, benefits, and costs of the treatment before proceeding. After the treatment, the patient will need to follow proper oral care and maintenance to ensure the longevity of the result.
Our Services
Cosmetic Dentistry (Teeth Whitening, Porcelain and Composite Veneers)
In addition to the treatments mentioned earlier, cosmetic dentistry can also include:
- Dental Implants: A surgical procedure in which a metal post is inserted into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. An artificial tooth is then attached to the post.
- Crowns: A cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, size, and strength.
- Bridges: A dental appliance that is used to replace missing teeth by attaching an artificial tooth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
- Invisalign: A clear aligner system that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, removable aligners.
- Teeth Contouring and Reshaping: A procedure that involves removing small amounts of tooth enamel to change the shape, length, or position of teeth.
The length of time for the treatment can vary depending on the type of procedure, but most cosmetic dentistry treatments are completed within one to two appointments. The result can be seen immediately after the treatment but the final result usually takes 1-2 weeks to be seen.
It’s important to note that cosmetic dentistry is not always covered by insurance, so it is important for patients to discuss costs and financing options with their dentist.
