A Guide to Cosmetic Dental Treatment

There have been some amazing developments in cosmetic dentistry since the turn of the century, which means that people of all ages can now have treatments that improve their appearance. There is a range of treatments that cover many conditions, and with that in mind, here is a brief description of the various cosmetic dental treatments on offer today.

Dental Implants

Finally, a permanent solution for missing teeth, dental implants involve the insertion of titanium pins into the jawbone, which, over time, bond with the bone and tissue to provide a solid anchor for the prosthetic tooth or teeth. Thailand hosts the very best cosmetic dental clinics, and finding a dental clinic in Bangkok is never an issue, especially with an online search. There are several types of dental implants, the one described above is called endosteal implants, while subperiosteal implants use a thin wire framework that is set on the gumline, and with a special post inserted, this provides a secure anchor point for the prosthetic tooth.

Several Stages of Treatment

The very first appointment would allow the dentist to ascertain whether or not you are suitable for endosteal implants, which most patients are, and after that, if the patient is in agreement, the first scheduled appointment would be set to fit the titanium pins. Once that is completed, another appointment a few weeks later is scheduled when the dentist can fit the prosthetic teeth onto the titanium pins. If you have the treatment in Bangkok, the waiting period is the ideal time to take a well-earned holiday, and as Thailand is a premier tourist destination, you are not limited to venues.

Porcelain Veneers

This treatment can fix a wide of issues, which include the following:

  • Stained or discoloured teeth
  • Crooked teeth
  • Teeth that are slightly misaligned
  • Uneven teeth
  • Teeth with small gaps

There are many reputable dental clinics in Bangkok that specialise in porcelain veneer treatment, and with very favourable costs when compared to a western country, it is easy to see why so many people choose Bangkok for their cosmetic dental treatment. Porcelain veneers, if fitted correctly, will last for many years, and with careful shade selection, they would match your teeth perfectly.

Invisalign

This is a revolutionary treatment to straighten teeth, and it is a very attractive alternative to wearing steel wire braces, as the clear plastic aligner can be removed when eating, and it is virtually invisible, which is perfect for self-conscious people. The dentist would create the plastic aligner, which is shaped to exert the right amount of pressure onto specific teeth in order to straighten them, and over a period of a few months, the tray would be replaced on several occasions, depending on the results. This treatment is recommended for those who have to interact with people as part of their job, as the tray is hardly visible when worn.

Thailand is the perfect destination for any of the above cosmetic treatments, and while you’re there, you can have a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in a tropical paradise.
