Cosmetic Dentistry and Its Uses
Both the medicine and dentistry professions have underwent something of a radical reform in the latter part of the 20th century, with a significant shift away from the traditional ethos of the professions (i.
e.
purely providing health care for the alleviation of health problems) to an ever increasing trend of cosmetic facilities being offered as a supplementary service.
Even more notable is that this shift has not only meant that there has been the steady development of a brand new niche within the industries, but it is also means that where they once were entirely independent of one another there is now a significant degree of over lapse associated with them.
The line between cosmetic dentists and mainstream ones is now blurred.
When we hear the phrase cosmetic dentistry there is a tendency to automatically think only of the Hollywood service package, i.
e.
professional services that leave us with a dazzling smile that would make a diamond seem lackluster in comparison and which cost in excess of thousands of dollars in fees and checkups.
Whilst there can be no denying that this is indeed a facet of the cosmetic dentistry profession, it is important that we do not become too affixed with it to such an extent, that it completely overshadows the rest of the industry as a whole.
Even something as banal and trivial as a simply tooth filling can fall within the banner of "cosmetic dentistry".
The services offered by cosmetic dentists is varied.
This will no doubt cause some degree of confusion among readers, who will argue that a filing is an entirely functional aspect of dentistry, in that it is used to fill a cavity left in a tooth which has been caused as a result of erosion and tooth decay.
However, filings can also provide an aesthetic purpose as a well, and many people now opt for filings that are specially colored in such a shade of white so as to more naturally blend in with their mouth.
Cosmetic dentistry is not just relied upon vacuous movie stars with too much cash to burn, instead, it can help people who suffer from severe self-esteem and lack of confidence issues where such issues take root in the fact that their teeth are not as a healthy or appealing as they could be.
Dental implants are quickly gaining popularity with people especially young professionals who are unwilling to rely upon dentures at such a tender age.
As the name would perhaps suggest, dental implants are a transplant of a tooth root which is inserted into a cavity in the mouth.
For some people, they require dental implants solely because their smile is gapped and therefore the dental implants provide some redress.
For others, the issue is that of structure and function, in that their jawbone sags due to the lack of teeth.
