Aesthetic Dentistry

Aesthetic dentistry is an interdisciplinary branch of dentistry that unites virtually all other dental specialties, and aims to improve the aesthetics of the teeth which leads to a greater self-confidence. Aesthetic dentistry involves the production of high-quality aesthetic fillings, zirconium oxide non-metal crowns, production of veneers as well as teeth whitening. Teeth whitening is rising in popularity more than any other dental treatment in modern dentistry. If properly and responsibly applied, it can significantly improve dental aesthetics in patients with teeth discoloration. External changes in enamel can occur due to the increased consumption of coffee, colored drinks, smoking cigarettes, etc., while internal discolorations are the result of disposing of chromogenic material within dentine and enamel, and can either develop preeruptive or posteruptive. One of the causes of teeth discoloration is the use of tetracycline antibiotics in the second trimester of pregnancy, where tetracyclines are disposed in the tooth structure during calcification. Teeth discoloration can also occur due to the trauma of the teeth, necrosis of the teeth or inadequate treatment of the teeth.
