As we grow older and we become more conscious of our appearance, there are many reasons why we would not have confidence in our smile. Whether you wish to fix minor problems or major dental issues, cosmetic dentistry can be life-changing.
With a wide range of cosmetic solutions available, cosmetic dentistry at One Smile Oral Care is the real deal. No matter if you have chipped, cracked, discoloured, broken or misshapen teeth, these problems can be fixed easily and effectively with cosmetic dentistry in Kings Hill. However, have you ever considered that cosmetic dentistry is not only about your teeth? Below are non-dental factors you should take into consideration before having cosmetic dentistry in Kings Hill.
Facial structure
Your teeth and mouth make up roughly 30 per cent of your face and therefore they are correlated by other facial characteristics such as your facial height and your facial width. Depending on the shape and structure of your face, your cosmetic dentist may suggest different treatments.
Lip volume
Another parameter to take into consideration when designing your cosmetic dentistry treatment with your dentist is lip volume. If your lips are very thin, then you may show excessive amounts of your teeth when smiling and this is something important to consider in your planning process.
Age
As we age, our facial characteristics gradually change, and this can lead to a distorted image of ourselves. Before deciding on a dental enhancement, it is always recommended to take into consideration our ageing facial characteristics and choose something that’s both relevant to our age and the goals we wish to achieve.
Skin colour
Many people fail to realise that getting a tan can have a really different whitening effect on their smile. The contrast is favourable for our teeth, since they appear a few tones lighter. However, this factor should be considered before any teeth whitening takes place.
Missing teeth
Missing teeth can alter our appearance significantly, therefore they need to be addressed with dental implants or other dental restorations.
All of these factors need to be taken into account by your dentist before any cosmetic dental treatment occurs.
