Myths about aesthetic dental care debunked by our cosmetic dentist
Do you look at photos of yourself smiling and wish that your teeth were a bit whiter? Or perhaps you want to correct a minor misalignment that you think looks way too noticeable?
In 2021, the variety of treatments offered in everyday dental surgeries has expanded and now, the majority of dental surgeries can offer their patients cosmetic dental options. Ranging from simple whitening to more complex treatments like dental implants, you can have teeth restored, replaced, whitened and more at our dental surgery!
When you come to Dr Bobby Chhoker, our cosmetic dentist will work with you to ensure you get the smile that you want and deserve. Our team has extensive experience and the qualifications needed to get the results you want for your smile.
But you may have heard that these procedures are uncomfortable, expensive or that they can create problems with your teeth. So, what are some of the most prevalent myths about these treatments that our cosmetic dentist wants to expose? Read on to find out!
Myth: cosmetic dental treatments are expensive
While most cosmetic treatments can seem pricey, there are ways in which our team can help.
We offer financing options and price reductions to help spread the cost of your treatment for as long as you need to. For more information about funding your new smile, talk with our team.
Myth: cosmetic dental treatments weaken teeth
It can seem that some cosmetic dental procedures, especially veneers and whitening, can weaken your teeth. But our cosmetic dentist will never sacrifice the strength or structure of a tooth just to make it look good. Should we think one type of treatment is unsuited for you based on the condition of your teeth, we will offer a suitable alternative. Simple!
Myth: cosmetic dental treatments are painful
At Dr Bobby Chhoker, we always aim to make your visit as pleasant as possible and so, we practice dental care with only minimal discomfort to you. The treatments we offer, whether they are cosmetic or not, can be performed with the use of numbing anaesthetics and, should you wish, sedation. Moreover, our team is highly trained in creating a comfortable experience for you, even if you need to have injections.
Myth: cosmetic dental treatments are for vain people
This is a common misconception that promotes unnecessary tolerance of dental flaws.
If you feel bad about your smile, we can help you to fix it and doing so certainly does not make you vain! There is nothing wrong with taking pride in your appearance and, as your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, why not have a great one?
Myth: cosmetic dental treatments are purely cosmetic
Most cosmetic treatments have a dual purpose; white fillings are longer lasting than amalgam ones, veneers stop dental sensitivity and of course, implants offer a range of advantages to those who have missing teeth. So, in truth, few cosmetic dental options are purely cosmetic.
