1.Teeth Whitening or Teeth Bleaching
                                                   Since childhood, we have been taught that teeth should be naturally white. but  teeth are slightly yellow or greyish. The teeth are covered with 2 different protective layers. The outer one is enamel, and the inner one is dentin. This layer of dentin imparts a slight yellow tinge to the teeth. But many of us are unhappy with this yellow tinge. Apart from this, the teeth tend to stain even from excessive consumption of alcohol, tea, coffee, cigarettes, and wine. This is when the cosmetic dental professional suggest teeth whitening. This procedure is carried out using a bleaching gel, hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. These products break down and release oxygen molecules that penetrate the enamel and dentin. This procedure can take a few hours to a few weeks. 

                                      

                                                          

                                                                           
2.Dental Bonding or Enamel Bonding

                    This is one of the most common dental procedures that is carried out to fill the chipped, cracked, or stained teeth. The cosmetic dental professional uses a tooth-coloured material, usually composite white dental filling. Because of the use of this material, this procedure is also known as a cosmetic dental procedure. This material is easy to mould and can easily be shaped in any beautiful shape. This material is available in various shades and, after the application, is dried using a high-intensity light or chemical. The procedure is painless and relatively inexpensive compared to other cosmetic dental treatments. 

3.Tooth Contouring and Reshaping
                                          This is one of the easiest, non-invasive, and inexpensive cosmetic dental procedures. Shallow pits and grooves, worn tooth edges, chipped teeth, small overlaps, etc., are some of the small dental issues that can be cured with dental reshaping and recontouring. As the reshaping and recontouring usually take in the outermost layer of the tooth, it is also known as “enamel shaping”. The cosmetic surgeon uses a polishing instrument and removes a tiny amount of enamel, and the tooth is reformed. This procedure usually requires a follow-up visit after the first dental visit. 
4.Porcelain Veneers
                                              This is one of the best cosmetic dental treatments. They have been marked as the gold standard in common cosmetic dental procedures. Veneers are basically a thin porcelain shell that fits over the facial surface of the teeth. They are made up of composite and or porcelain material. Small dental conditions like crooked teeth, discoloured teeth, or spacing between the teeth are all common dental procedures that can be treated with this method. The enamel of the teeth is removed slightly and then an impression is taken. Then a customized veneer is made from the impressions and is bonded onto the tooth. This is one of the most preferred cosmetic dental procedures for discoloured teeth whose stains do not go with bleaching. 

                                           

 

5.Aligners
                                                One of the best cosmetic dental treatments.

                                                  

6.Cosmetic Dental Crowns and Implants
                                               Dental crowns, most commonly referred to as caps. They are customized according to an individual patient to fit over the whole tooth. They are made up of acrylic and porcelain for aesthetic purposes. Another cosmetic dental procedure: dental implants, is one of the most emerging patients procedures. A metal device made of titanium is surgically placed in the jawbone in place of missing teeth. The results of the cosmetic dentistry before and after have made tremendous changes in many smiles. Enhanced self-esteem, increased self-confidence, and great teeth make your smile flawless. However, the prime requirement for these dental procedures is to meet a professional dental professional.
