When defining the term of cosmetic dentistry, it should be stated that the main objective of research and therapy of this relatively new field of dentistry is the improvement of the aesthetic appearance of teeth and face. The typical treatments used for this purpose are:
• cosmetic veneers
These are fixed prosthetic dentures used in cosmetic dentistry to cover the non-aesthetic surfaces of upper and lower teeth (discoloration of teeth difficult to whiten, enamel deficiencies, non-cosmetic fillings, extension of detrited teeth, diastema between teeth)
• teeth whitening
Beautiful, white, shinning and healthy teeth are everyone's dream. The colour of our teeth depends on the degree of mineralization of hard tissue of the tooth. Regardless of what "the nature gave us" we are able to correct the colour of our teeth. For this purpose we can use a whitening treatment. We can choose out of several treatment methods and techniques. One of them is at-home whitening method - the so called overnight patch-based whitening. The treatment is carried out using a special gel which is applied to a previously prepared teeth patch and put overnight. The effect is already visible after several days. Another method is whitening at the clinic. In this case, a much stronger remedy is used and therefore the result is immediate. This treatment must be performed under a strict supervision of the dentist.
