Teeth Whitening Helps You Look Younger

Teeth whitening is one of the most effective and affordable cosmetic dentistry procedures and has been popularised recently by massive exposure of its benefits on television and in other media. We’ve all seen the makeover shows where even the most discoloured teeth are restored to a bright white colour and the dramatic effect this can have on a person’s appearance. This is almost certainly because teeth naturally discolour as we get older, so having whiter teeth is an instant way of looking younger and healthier.

Eating and drinking gradually stains the enamel and our teeth begin to take on a yellow appearance. This discolouration is made worse by certain substances particularly tobacco, red wine and coffee.The good news is that it is now possible to prevent and even reverse this gradual discolouration of teeth, In fact it is possible to whiten the shade of your teeth by up to ten shades. Even better news is that tooth whitening is a readily available and easily affordable cosmetic dentistry procedure that is offered by almost all dentists.

Our teeth become stained because a layer of pellicle builds up on the enamel. Over time this slowly begins to stain the teeth. It is possible to remove this pellicle film by brushing and flossing, but if the enamel itself becomes stained, no amount of cleaning will have an effect.Certain lifestyle choices also make staining of teeth more likely. As we have seen, some people are more genetically prone to yellowing of the teeth than others, but using any kind of tobacco product or drinking excessive amounts of red wine or coffee can accelerate the staining process.

One of the most effective whitening products on the market polanight gel. These gels are used in special trays that fit around the teeth covering all the enamel. The gels contain hydrogen peroxide which bleaches the stains in the enamel returning the to a natural white colour. Trays can be prepared by your dentist and worn for periods throughout the day, or even worn over night for more effective whitening.

The only real side effect of whitening, providing the gels and trays are prepared correctly, is sensitive teeth. This only affects some patients and will only last for two to three days after the procedure. Ask your dentist about polanight/polaoffice teeth whitening products and you too could restore the shine to your smile.For more information visit HimachalDental.

Cosmetic Dentistry In Shimla

Cosmetic dentistry has been around for many years. The idea of improving the appearance of the teeth by performing corrective procedures is not a new one but it is a field of dentistry that has undergone a radical change in the last fifteen years. Advancements in dental technology have seen a vast improvement in the quality and accuracy of treatment available. It has also significantly reduced treatment time and comfort levels for patients. Cosmetic dentists are now able to produce stunning results even when faced with the most difficult of dental problems.

One of the most common dental procedures is teeth whitening. This is when teeth are stained using special gels to regain the white appearance of enamel lost to discolouration. The treatment is simple, effective and most of all affordable. Teeth become discoloured for various reasons but most commonly it happens naturally as a result of age. Therefore, returning your teeth to a more healthy white colour can improve the appearance of teeth making the patient look much younger.

Another popular cosmetic dentistry treatment is the application of tooth veneers. Veneers can be used for a variety of reasons. They include covering repair work carried out on teeth and restoring the appearance of badly worn or discoloured teeth. The veneer itself is a thin tooth-shaped piece of porcelain that is cemented over the top of an existing tooth to restore its appearance. New technology has greatly reduced the time and effort needed to manufacture veneers. In fact some veneers can be designed, manufactured and fitted in only one afternoon. This means that patients can transform the appearance of their teeth in just one day. Similar computer-aided technology is used in the manufacture of dental crowns, which are like thicker veneers used to cover dental repair work.

There are many other cosmetic dentistry procedures that can be carried out by our dentists. Gum and teeth contouring and shaping can be carried out using resin bonding and dental lasers. These can be used in tandem to create more evenly sized and aesthetically pleasing teeth with the minimum amount of discomfort. Dental bonding can also be used as an affordable way of reshaping chipped or cracked teeth.

There are an almost endless number of ways cosmetic dentistry can improve the appearance of teeth. Make an appointment with a Goma Dental to find out more.

Beautiful Smiles Are Noticed First

Teeth and a Beautiful Smile are among the first things noticed by a stranger, much of the time. However, it depends on whether women or men are being observed. The face and head, along with the body, are perceived differently by men and women. This is according to a recent study by the Dental Researchers . Therefore, this is very recent information about how a smile is perceived by people.

WOMEN have their eyes noticed first by men according to the survey. The Smile and Teeth were the second thing about women that was noticed by men. Those things noticed next by men about women were the body, clothing, hair and other things combined. The percentages of what men noticed first about women according to the study are indicated below:

THINGS NOTICED FIRST ABOUT WOMEN

* EYES – 39%
* SMILE – 25%
* BODY – 14%
* CLOTHING – 12%
* HAIR – 3%
* OTHER – 7%

MEN have their Teeth and Smile noticed first by women according to the survey. Eyes were the second thing about men that was noticed by women. These first two things were followed in order by the clothing, hair and body (these two were tied) and followed by other things combined. The percentages of what women noticed first about men in the survey are indicated below:

THINGS NOTICED FIRST ABOUT MEN

* SMILE – 40%
* EYES – 35%
* CLOTHING – 11%
* BODY – 4%
* HAIR – 4%
* OTHER – 7%

It was not surprising that a person’s teeth and smile ranked so high in the survey with both women and men. It is certainly one of the first things that people see. I think most people quickly notice a beautiful or handsome smile and also they notice a very poor smile. A poor smile is greatly accented if there are missing, crooked or discolored teeth. On the other hand, if you have an unsatisfactory smile, you should visit your Cosmetic Dentist ,for many modern dental techniques such as porcelain veneers and crowns can be used to create a smile very attractive. At Goma Dental in Shimla, we are dedicated to giving people beautiful and handsome smiles that are durable as well as attractive. Dr Goma provide excellent highest quality family and cosmetic dental services in the beautiful city of Shimla. For more information on smile designing please call us at 177-645-0704.

Smile Designing For Bright New Smile

Smile design is a cosmetic philosophy encompassing a ‘Whole Smile’ approach to improving your appearance. Originally developed in the States, the Cosmetic Dentist works in partnership with the Patient and the Master-Ceramist.

At the first Smile Design appointment a number of important factors about you and your smile are gathered together including

* your wishes and expectations
* models of your teeth
* photographs
* x-rays

This information is analysed between the ceramist at the lab and your cosmetic dentist . The ceramist will then produce an accurate wax mock-up of how your teeth will look at the end of treatment.

At the 2nd appointment we will show you the model of how your teeth could look and effect any changes to the design that you might wish for. We also prepare the teeth at this appointment and fit temporary veneers matching the wax-designed teeth. The temporary teeth are worn for a week so that you can assess what you do and don’t like about your new smile.

When you return to the clinic with your temporary teeth in place in third appointment we consult with you on any changes that should be made to the temporaries, effect those changes to your satisfaction, choose the new colour and make an accurate record of your new smile for the ceramist to use as a guide when making your permanent ceramic smile design veneers.


In last appointment the complete new smile is delivered to the clinic and your cosmetic dentist will then bond the multiple veneers into place….new smile complete, time to dazzle your friends and family!

Dermal Fillers: Cosmetic Dental Procedure

More and more cosmetic dentists are now offering small scale cosmetic facial procedures as part of an overall smile makeover. After all, the mouth and facial tissue surrounds your smile and every beautiful picture needs an equally beautiful frame. Sagging facial tissue and wrinkles can now be combated by a range of dermal fillers including collagen and hyaluronic acid. These fillers firm and fill facial tissues providing a healthier and fuller appearance that enhances a beautiful smile.

Dermal fillers, like all cosmetic surgery, were once the sole preserve of the rich and famous but they are now increasingly affordable. This greater availability has removed some of the stigma attached to cosmetic enhancers and having a dermal filler injection is now no more unusual than having a haircut.

If applied by a trained professional dermal fillers carry little or no risk and because treatments are only temporary any risk of permanent damage due to bad treatment is reduced. Most of the common dermal fillers use compounds such as hyaluronic acid which already exist naturally in the body, further reducing the risk of a bad reaction to treatment. Hyaluronic acid is the substance in the skin that gives it a plump and healthy appearance.

Treatment are usually carried out under a local anaesthetic to make it more comfortable, and for those who don’t like needles this can be applied by using an anaesthetic cream applied half an hour before. The whole procedure should take little more than half an hour from start to finish and will involve no surgical cutting of skin or tissue. Results usually begin to show after a couple of days and can last up to four months before a top up treatment is required. Ask your dentist about dermal fillers and you could have a healthy and full looking frame for your smile.
