Cosmetic dentistry has moved forward in leaps and bounds since the turn of the century, with great strides being made in the field of all forms of cosmetic treatment, and more people than ever before are having treatment to improve their appearance and boost their self-esteem. If you would like to know more about what is available today, here are some of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments.

  • Dental Implants – At last, we finally have a permanent solution to missing teeth, and whether a single tooth, a complete set of upper and lower teeth, or anything in between, there is a solution. Finding a good cosmetic dentist in Bangkok has never been this easy and with a simple Google search, you can be talking to a local specialist. Dental implants are not cheap, yet they do offer a permanent alternative to dentures, crowns and bridges, and with the best clinics here in Bangkok, top rated treatment is very affordable. There are two types of dental implant; endosteal and subperiosteal, and the former is the most popular, and it involves inserting titanium pins into the jawbone, which provide the anchor for the prosthetic teeth. The subperiosteal implants are fitted to a thin wire frame that sits on top of the jawbone, and this is the treatment of choice when the jawbone is inadequate to house the pins. If you would like to know more about dental implants, and whether they would work for you, search online for a dental implant specialist in your area and make an appointment.

  • Porcelain Veneers – These are wafer-thin veneers that are shaped to fit snugly, overlapping the top of the tooth, and once attached using a special adhesive, the tooth is transformed. Veneers can be used to treat stained or discoloured teeth, small gaps between the teeth and even slightly misaligned teeth. There are two types; porcelain and a composite resin, yet the porcelain veneers are a better choice, as they are more durable. Careful selection of the colour ensures your teeth look perfectly natural, and each veneer is meticulously crafted to the precise shape before it is fixed into place. Porcelain veneers can be damaged, so it is important to take extra care, and always wear a gum shield when playing contact sports, just in case.

  • Invisalign – A revolutionary new corrective device, Invisalign is made from clear plastic and specially shaped to put the right amount of pressure on specific teeth, in order to straighten the growth. Some people do not like to wear wire braces, and with clear corrective devices, it is not obvious that you are wearing braces, and the unit can easily be removed when eating. Over the course of the treatment, the dentist would change the device several times, to achieve the right results, and with a straighter smile comes a boost in self-confidence.

The best cosmetic dental clinics can be found in Bangkok, and many foreigners book their treatment and combine it with an amazing holiday in the tropical paradise of Thailand.
