What are treatments involved in Esthetic and Cosmetic Dentistry?

Bleaching

One of the most popular Esthetic dental treatments over the past two decades is Tooth Whitening or Bleaching. Tooth bleaching is one of the most conservative and cost-effective dental treatments to improve or enhance a person’s smile. Tooth whitening is an effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface. It cannot make a complete colour change, but it may lighten the existing shade. Current tooth bleaching materials are based primarily on either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. Both may change the color of the teeth, but have different considerations for safety and ability. In general, most in-office and dentist-prescribed,at-home bleaching techniques have been shown to be effective, although results may vary depending on such factors as type of stain, age of patient, concentration of the active agent, and treatment time and frequency. However, concerns have remained about the long-term safety of unsupervised bleaching procedures, due to abuse and possible undiagnosed or underlying oral health problems.

There are two types of Bleaching

In office bleaching - Dentist will apply a gel to your teeth and leave it on for about an hour. A heat or light source (sometimes a laser) may be used during the process to increase the bleaching action.

At home bleaching - Dentist will give you custom-made mouth trays made of thin, flexible plastic that you will fill with whitening gel and then leave on your teeth for a prescribed period of time. 

Tooth cleaning & polishing

Tooth cleaning and polishing includes removing of  plaque (soft, sticky, bacteria infested film) and tartar (calculus) deposits that have built up on the teeth over time. Teeth is continually cleansed with saliva which contains calcium and other substances which strengthens and protect the teeth. It means that calcium deposits build up on the teeth. This white substance will eventually build up over time, like limescale in a pipe or kettle. Usually it is tooth coloured and can easily be mistaken as part of the teeth, but it also can vary from brown to black in colour. If the tartar  is allowed to accumulate on the teeth it will unfortunately provide the right conditions for bacteria to thrive next to the gums. The purpose of the cleaning and polishing is basically to leave the surfaces of the teeth clean and smooth so that bacteria are unable to stick to them and you have a better chance of keeping the teeth clean during your regular home care. The professional cleaning of teeth is sometimes referred to as prophylaxis (or prophy for short). It’s a Greek word which means “to prevent beforehand” - in this case, it helps prevent gum disease.
