Aesthetic Dental Treatments

Dentistry or aesthetic dentistry is the area of dentistry that works to restore dental aesthetics. In short, the resources available to improve the aesthetics of the smile include tooth whitening, dental crowns, resin or porcelain restorations, gum surgery (gingivectomy), and the application of modern dental contact lenses.

A more beautiful, white and harmonious smile is possible thanks to dental contact lenses and other aesthetic resources

Or even after wearing braces, when you want to improve some aspects of your smile, because during treatment you can’t change the aesthetics of your teeth. Modern dental contact lenses are ultra-thin porcelain veneers, suitable for correcting aesthetic problems with the teeth, for example:

Dental contact lenses are bonded to the surface of one or more defective teeth in a safe and non-invasive way. Because the lenses are ultra-thin, installation requires little or no wear on the teeth before they can be bonded.

Naturalness of dental contact lenses

The lenses are made from porcelain, the best bio-safe material used to make dental prostheses, which is similar to natural teeth in terms of its texture and shade, as well as its translucency.

This way, if the dental contact lens is applied to just one defective tooth, it won’t contrast with the neighboring natural teeth. It is certainly an aesthetic procedure that has come to completely change your smile for the better. At ImplArt, the lenses are designed and made by better computerized systems and 3D printers.

In conclusion, the last stage of the procedure is the preparation of the tooth, the application of dental cement and the bonding of the dental contact lens. Dental contact lenses are very durable, as long as the patient takes care not to bite down on hard objects and makes regular visits to the dental practice. Alternatively, veneers can be made from resin with a lower finish.

Porcelain dental crowns for aesthetic purposes

Dental crowns and porcelain blocks can be made in cases of tooth damage such as broken teeth. It is very common for patients with bruxism to need cosmetic treatments as they can lose part of their enamel or even entire teeth due to the force applied to their teeth.

Aesthetic restorations

Porcelain blocks and porcelain dental crowns

An aesthetic composite resin restoration is a dental aesthetic procedure in which a resin composite material is used to repair or rebuild the structure of an aesthetically compromised tooth.

This technique is often used to correct cavities, fractures or discolorations in order to restore the shape, function and natural appearance of teeth.

During the process, the dentist removes the damaged part of the tooth, prepares the affected area and applies layers of composite resin, carefully shaping them to ensure a perfect fit with the dental anatomy.

The resin is then hardened with special ultraviolet light.

The advantage of composite resin lies in its ability to mimic the color and texture of adjacent teeth, providing an aesthetic and long-lasting end result while preserving the structural integrity of the restored tooth.

Contact lenses for teeth

Dental contact lenses in São Paulo to improve the aesthetics of your smile

Contact lenses for teeth are ultra-thin porcelain veneers (0.3 to 0.7 mm) used to correct certain aesthetic problems in the teeth. They work like “covers” or ceramic fragments, which are bonded to one or more teeth to better cover stains, small fractures and other defects, as well as to change the shape and size of teeth. Dental contact lens treatment is often used to beautify the smiles of famous people.

At the ImplArt Clinic, dental contact lenses are completely designed on computer and then better executed in dental porcelain by milling machines (3D printers) in our digital laboratory. This method is far superior to the traditional manual method of working with dental porcelain. Dental porcelain is a vitreous ceramic material (lithium disilicate) that is very resistant and mainly imitates the texture and shades of natural teeth.

It is therefore an aesthetic material, safe and totally biocompatible with the human body. The computerized design is based on images obtained by an intraoral scanner – a high-precision camera available at ImplArt Odontologia.

Do contact lenses work?

In this way, dental contact lenses have a shape, color and texture comparable to natural teeth, even imitating the characteristics of neighboring teeth. Because they are ultra-thin, their installation requires little or no wear on the natural teeth. Indications for dental contact lenses:

  • Covering teeth stains
  • Change in the shape of the teeth
  • Change in tooth color
  • Enlargement of small teeth
  • Aligning crowdedteeth
  • Covering small fractures

The dental contact lens is a set of extremely thin porcelain veneers (lithium disilicate), designed by a computerized cad/cam system and made by 3D printers.

Dental contact lenses: step-by-step treatment

What are dental contact lenses?

Contact lenses are bonded to the front of the teeth individually and are used to correct certain aesthetic problems, such as misaligned teeth, stained teeth, pigmented teeth, cracked teeth, improperly shaped teeth, unwanted pain, irregular tooth size and correcting the position of the teeth.

They are bonded to the front of the teeth, individually, in order to correct certain aesthetic problems. These are cases of misaligned teeth, stained teeth, pigmented teeth, cracked teeth, improper shape, unwanted color, irregular tooth size, correction of tooth position.

Lenses are not recommended for unhealthy teeth, such as decayed teeth or teeth with periodontal disease. Contact lenses for teeth are capable of revolutionizing the aesthetics of smiles. Today we see many celebrities who have undergone the treatment and have undoubtedly had their smiles transformed.

Do I need dental contact lenses?

Contact lens treatment involves the use of advanced dental technology. It starts with taking a mold of the teeth. The digital impression is taken using an intraoral scanner that captures images of the teeth and gums and creates a three-dimensional model on the computer screen.

Based on these images, the dentist uses software that designs the dental contact lenses with customized shapes and shades for each patient.

Planning

The design can be for a single tooth or more. The approved computerized design is then sent to the digital prosthetics laboratory to make the dental lenses. A block of porcelain is placed in the 3D printer and the milling process begins until the block acquires the shape of the designed dental lenses.

Dental contact lenses are approximately 0.2mm thick. This ultra-thin thickness does not require any or little wear to the tooth surface in order for the lenses to be applied. They therefore differ from porcelain veneers.

Example of a treatment with dental lenses: 1 – Initial situation, 2 – Tooth preparation (wear) and gingivectomy (removal of excess gum), 3 – Temporary lenses, 4 – Installation of definitive porcelain lenses.

Bonding dental contact lenses

Bonding is carried out after the tooth has been prepared, which involves professional cleaning to remove possible plaque and tartar buildup. The lenses are then bonded with cement specifically for dental use, without pain or the need to apply an anesthetic.

It’s a quick treatment and can even be carried out in a Day Clinic. The durability of dental contact lenses is undetermined. Porcelain is a very resistant material and has very similar characteristics to natural teeth.

Its surface is stain-resistant and does not require the patient to be cautious with highly pigmented foods and drinks, such as beet, carrots, wine, coffee, teas, etc.
