Smile Designing

World of Cosmetology

Your smile is very important. It is one of the first things you notice when you meet someone and also one of the first things that impress someone. Smile is not only about the lips, but also the teeth and gums behind it, including the jaw line.

Dentistry is now easily accessible to each one of us. While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing, and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving a person’s overall appearance giving a complete new look.

Tooth Whitening / Bleaching

Smile and the world smiles with you ! Flash a dazzling smile and the world is bewitched by you! Fortunately, dentistry is so evolved today that you, along with your dentist, can very realistically achieve a bright and shiny set of teeth. Tooth whitening / bleaching restores lost shine to your teeth and thus helps excel your confidence.

Professional tooth whitening or bleaching can get your smile looking its best. It is one of the most common procedures of dental cosmetics. It brightens teeth that are discolored, stained, or have been darkened because of Lifestyle and the aging process. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks and red wine or smoking. Any tooth, even those that have had root canal surgery, can receive bleaching treatment. This can be done by a dentist in the dental clinic or at home.

Dental Veneers / Laminates

Have you always envied the smile of your favorite celebrity and wondered how they have such beautifully aligned sparkling teeth? You might be surprised to find out how many of them have had cosmetic dental work. That beautiful smile can actually be yours and the quickest way of doing that is to opt for dental Veneers and Laminates.

These are wafer-thin shells of tooth-coloured material that are fixed to the front surface of the teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. They can, not only close the spaces but also can change the shape, shade, and position of the teeth. In fact dental veneers are for your teeth what false fingernails are for your hands!!!

Enamel Tooth Recontouring

All of us desire a beautiful smile. In fact many of us go through extensive dental treatments to achieve that. But sometimes small corrections in the teeth can bring about a sea of change. This is possible by just shaping teeth, also known as enamel shaping or recontouring. This is the simplest and instant treatment available in cosmetic dentistry. In a single session the cosmetic dentist can correct slightly chipped, cracked and overlapped teeth thus avoiding expensive dental treatments.

Those of you who are interested in immediate and visible changes to your smile in the least invasive way possible, enamel recontouring may be the answer for you. Please consult your cosmetic dentist at FMS for your smile analysis.

Gum Depigmentation

Hyperpigmentation of gums is termed as a darker colour of gums beyond what is normally expected. Hyperpigmented gums can create an unsightly gum display which can make for an unpleasant smile and affect your confidence.

Gum depigmentation, also known sometimes as gum bleaching, is a cosmetic procedure to lighten your gum colour.

What Causes Gum Hyperpigmentation?

• Excess production of pigments primarily melanin. This is usually only an aesthetic issue and not associated with any other medical problems.
• Medical problems like genetic issues, hormonal problems, some medications, smoking, chronic lung infections and in some rare cases due to malignancies.

Gum Recontouring

A beautiful and perfect smile is a combination of variety of factors. Among these the most important are the shape and size of the teeth in proportion to the gums. T he right proportion of gums to teeth is important otherwise a smile can become a cause of embarrassment.

So in a situation where the gu ms cover too much of the teeth or are highly visible on smiling, it is referred to as a ‘Gummy Smile’. For patients specifically with gums covering too much of their teeth, there is a solution in cosmetic dentistry called as Gum Recontouring. This cosmetic dental procedure can even out an uneven gum line and give you a smile you can be proud of.

Most people have their gums reshaped to improve the appearance of their smile. Gum Recontouring can be done in t he following situations :

• When gum line extend s too low and covers too much of the teeth.
• If the shape of the gum s is not in line with the shape of the teeth.
• Asymmetrical gum line, lower or higher on a single tooth.
• Swollen gums due to p eriodontal (gum) disease.
• Drug induced gum enlargement.

Minor Orthodontics

Minor tooth movement combined with other cosmetic dental procedures can make a dramatic difference in the overall look of your smile.

Minor tooth movement is a limited orthodontic procedure to correct crooked, poorly positioned or misaligned teeth. Relatively simple movements of one or more teeth can result in a significant cosmetic transformation, since it only takes a few crooked teeth or a noticeable space to spoil the look of what would otherwise be an attractive smile.

Orthognathic & Other Facial Surgeries

Orthognathic surgery is an operation to reposition the jaws. (Ortho means straighten, gnathia means jaw in Latin). The operation aims to correct imbalances between the upper and lower jaws.

It is not always possible to correct your teeth and acheive the bite using only orthodontics (braces). This is because the bones of your face and jaws, in which the teeth are positioned, may be out of balance with one another. (For example, you may have a larger lower jaw and a normal sized upper jaw).
