The Health Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry

Aug 24 • 1 minute read

Dr. Patricia Patino of California Dental Solutions is happy to provide various cosmetic dental procedures for her patients. Cosmetic dentistry sometimes is misaligned for being only about the aesthetics of a tooth. However, many procedures which are considered cosmetic also have more direct benefits to a patient’s oral health.

Porcelain Crowns

One of the services our Escondido dentist provides is porcelain crowns made by a CEREC machine, allowing patients to have a new restoration in a single visit. With porcelain-based restorations they are made of a material that matches the color and texture of a tooth, as opposed to traditional metal crowns, allowing for a more aesthetically pleasing restoration.

Porcelain crowns are still a restorative dental procedure for they possess a strength similar to that of the natural tooth. Certain conditions, such as teeth grinding at night, could necessitate a metal dental restoration instead of a porcelain one. Under most circumstances, and so long as a proper hygiene routine is maintained, a porcelain crown will be able to properly protect the tooth it covers for decades.

Dental Implants

Our dentist in Escondido also provides the guided placement and restoration of dental implants. Dental implants not only return the function of your smile but look like your natural teeth as well. Affixed with a dental restoration, they are considered a cosmetic procedure due to materials that reflect the aesthetics of your natural smile.

However, dental implants serve an important function to protect the health of the jaw. When teeth are lost, the jaw bone no longer has anything to support and begins to shrink in size. This shrinkage causes the jawbone to become less supportive for other teeth, which are also overburdened by the missing tooth’s absence. The result of missing one tooth could be the loss of other teeth, a difficult time chewing and speaking, and other problems. By receiving a dental implant, you are giving the jawbone a new tooth to support, thereby preventing these dental issues.
