petals of smile....
The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance, improve, or change the appearance of your teeth. In today’s
society,appearance is very important. While judgment based solely on appearance may be superficial and not reflective
of who you really are, it can still affect how people think of you. When you talk, people focus on your face, your eyes,
and teeth. People notice a natural looking mouth, teeth, and smile. An unsightly mouth due to visible cavities,
defective fillings, gum disease, or crooked or misshapen teeth is noticed, too. People will often form opinions of you
based on what they see. You can get an objective look at how other people see you. Get about 18 inches away from a
mirror. This is about as close as most people get to you when you speak with them. If you get any closer to the mirror,
the light will not be right and you will not get a true picture of how your teeth look. Smile, talk, laugh, and observe
which teeth are visible and what they look like. Then ask yourself, “If I could wave a magic wand over my teeth and
change anything I don’t like, what would I change?” Write it down, then read on. Many people think of dentistry as
fixing cavities, root canals, false teeth, caps, and gum disease. But you will be fascinated by what we can do to improve
your appearance. According to Cosmetic Dentist in Facets Kochi,Kerala,India Here is a partial list of dental procedures
that can improve the way your teeth look:
Replace discolored fillings in front teeth
Whiten teeth to a lighter color
Straighten crooked teeth with orthodontics or recontouring your natural enamel
Close up spaces between teeth
Porcelain or resin veneers to change the shape and alignment of teeth (bonding)
Place tooth-colored fillings in back teeth (instead of silver/metal fillings)
Porcelain or resin inlays or onlays for back teeth
Cosmetic periodontal surgery to even out gum tissue that is crooked
Restoration of worn and short teeth to their proper shape
Fill in toothbrush abrasion notches

Replace missing teeth with bridges or implants
Replace defective and unsightly crowns (caps)
Cover stained root surfaces
Remove stained fracture lines from enamel
Restore chipped teeth (bonding)

Make teeth appear shorter
Costs for these cosmetic procedures vary according to the extent of treatment. Tell your dentist how you wish your
smile looked. Then we can tell you what we can do, how long it will take, and what it will cost. Most of the time,
people are pleasantly surprised to find that the cost is not as much as they thought. If you have dental insurance, you
may often find that some of the procedures are a part of your benefit package
