What Do We Need To Smile Confidently At Any Age?

25 April 2024

A healthy and charming smile not only affects our self-esteem but also shapes the attitude of the people around us towards us. The more pleasant and confident the smile, the more positive impression it leaves on the viewer. Maintaining proper oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist allows the patient to maintain oral health at any age. Today, the "Blits Dental - Kakhaber Kharebava Clinic" team would like to talk to you about the main problems that cause discomfort to our patients and which, thanks to modern dentistry, can be solved at any age. The latest methods and technologies in aesthetic dentistry ensure patients' oral health, regardless of their age and oral condition.

Plastic Surgery Of The Gums

There are frequent clinical cases when the gum around the patient's teeth is of uneven shape or height, due to which the teeth appear to be of different sizes. At this time, the symmetry of the patient's mouth is broken and, accordingly, the smile is also unaesthetic.

If the patient's gums cover the tooth too much or too little, dentists generally recommend reshaping the gum with a surgical approach. Gingivoplasty is a minimally invasive surgical operation that provides the desired aesthetic result for the patient. Along with the visual effect, the impact of the change in the shape of the gums on the general health of the gums and teeth is no less important - correctly positioned gums protect the teeth from the effects of environmental factors, and on the contrary, in case of incorrect positioning, the risk of tooth damage increases.

When the patient has unevenly sized gums and it is necessary to correct their contour and remove the excess part, local anesthesia is used. When changing the contour, the surgeon-paradontologist can use both a laser device and resection (complete or partial excision of the diseased tissue using a surgical scalpel). The postoperative period lasts several weeks, the patient is recommended to follow the prescription given by the dentist. In the case of proper treatment, the rehabilitation process is painless and the patient does not complain of acute pain in the oral cavity, when eating or drinking.

Ceramic Veneers

Veneering is the most common method in modern aesthetic dentistry, through which it is possible to adjust the shape, size and color of the tooth as desired. Most often, patients choose veneers when they do not like the color or shape of their natural teeth and want to have the so-called "Hollywood smile". However, in addition to aesthetic purposes, veneering is appropriate for many pathological processes in the oral cavity, for example: extensive carious damage to tooth tissue, tooth enamel damage, tooth wear and other cases. Veneers are made of different materials. Ceramic veneers are thin plates of porcelain, their thickness is on average 0.3-0.5 millimeters, and it adheres to the tooth from the outside. Ceramic veneers can be made immediately after the formation of dentition, that is, from the age of 18, for all patients who want to correct visual defects directly on the teeth or treat anomalies in the dental arch. Veneers are recommended if you have: discolored teeth, cracks on the teeth, slightly worn teeth, uneven and non-standard shaped teeth, gaps between teeth (diastems, trems).

Dental Implantation

Dental implantation is the most modern and widespread method of treatment of toothlessness (adentia). The need for a dental implant arises when the patient has completely lost a tooth. This means that there is no root in the jaw bone. The implantation procedure involves placing an artificial root, i.e. a metal implant, in the patient's jawbone, on which the artificial tooth, the same crown, is subsequently fixed. Today, there are many methods of filling the space left after tooth loss, however, implantation remains the most optimal option, because the implant and the artificial tooth (crown) placed on it both visually and functionally repeat the structure of the natural tooth and fully accommodate its function. After the dental implant is placed in the place of the missing tooth, the difference between it and natural teeth becomes invisible to the eye.
