Facial Aesthetics

Facial aesthetics involves various factors such as skin complexion, hair, and facial features. These factors contribute to how one looks externally. That said, dental care is an integral part of physical beauty that many people tend to overlook. However, with technological advancements and the increasing demand for cosmetic treatments, dentistry has become an essential aspect of facial aesthetics. We provide facial aesthetics at Parleys Creek Dental in Salt Lake City, Utah.

What is Facial Aesthetics?

A facial aesthetic is a combination of cosmetic dental procedures that can improve the appearance of your teeth and gums. It is a customized treatment plan considering your dental goals and unique needs. Some standard procedures used in facial aesthetics include teeth whitening, dental veneers, orthodontics, and gum contouring. These procedures not only improve the appearance of your smile but your overall facial features as well.

Facial Aesthetics Procedures

Yellow or stained teeth can be unpleasant and can affect your appearance negatively. Teeth whitening is a common treatment to brighten teeth and enhance facial aesthetics. The treatment uses dental bleaching agents to eliminate stains and discoloration effectively. Teeth whitening can be done in a dental office or choose a take-home kit. The treatment’s results are immediate, and you can have a dazzling smile quickly.

Missing teeth can cause eating difficulties, speech problems, and self-esteem issues. Dental implants are practical solutions to such problems. They replace missing teeth and restore the natural look of your dental formula, improving overall facial aesthetics. Dental implants are long-lasting, and with proper care, they can last for many years.

Dental veneers are thin shells made of porcelain that are placed over teeth to enhance their appearance. They are ideal for teeth with chips, gaps, or discoloration. The veneer material is durable, and the treatment is relatively fast. Veneers can also improve the shape and size of your teeth, giving your face a refreshed look.

Your gums play a vital role in your dental appearance. They frame your teeth and contribute to how they look overall. Gum contouring is a cosmetic dental treatment that improves your gums’ shape, size, and position. The procedure involves:

 

  • Removing excess gum tissues.
  • Shaping the gums to a more appealing form and length.
  • Finishing with reshaping and polishing that gives the teeth a more natural look.

Orthodontic treatments are designed to correct misaligned teeth and jaw. They help realign your teeth and improve facial aesthetics. Traditional braces, clear aligners, and invisible braces are some of the orthodontic treatments available. When done correctly, orthodontic treatment can correct speech impediments, improve eating comfort, and enhance facial appearance, offering multiple benefits.

What to Expect During the Procedure?

The facial aesthetics procedures vary depending on your unique needs. However, most procedures are minimally invasive and painless, and you can expect to resume your daily activities within a day or two. You may require multiple visits to your dentist, depending on the type of procedure involved. Dr. Clinton Sorensen will provide instructions on how to care for your teeth post-procedure and may recommend follow-up visits to monitor your progress.

Benefits of Facial Aesthetics

Facial aesthetics not only improve your teeth’s appearance but also significantly benefit your oral health. Straighter, whiter teeth are easier to brush and floss, promoting better oral hygiene and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Facial aesthetics can also boost self-confidence, improve social interactions, and enhance overall quality of life.
