Nowadays, a beautiful smile relies on a dazzling set of teeth which matches your face. We no longer set our sights on “too-perfect” teeth that look like piano keys! There are numerous different dental treatments that can improve your smile, and many of them require collaboration between the different dental disciplines.dents-hajar-web

1- First and foremost, find an excellent dental surgeon to regularly examine, study and care for your teeth.

2- Adopt good oral hygiene, with meticulous and regular tartar removal (every 3 to 6 months) to keeps your gums nice and pink, a sign of good health. Bleeding gums is a clinical sign of periodontitis (a bacterial infection of the tissues that surround and support the teeth). This can have a detrimental effect on your general health.

3- If your teeth are crooked and overlap, it is never too late to have orthodontic treatment, which can now be carried out invisibly in adults.

4- Porcelain veneers are becoming more and more popular because they preserve the tooth and are bio-compatible, aesthetically-pleasing and reliable. Where possible, they should be the first choice of treatment for restoring the more visible teeth at the front of the mouth. They are primarily recommended for treating moderate discolouration of the teeth caused by aging, tetracycline (an antibiotic)

Thanks to these new methods, we can now straighten the teeth and boost the smile’s radiance. An attractive smile must combine a good set of teeth with good occlusion and well-proportioned, symmetrical lips that move harmoniously as the person smiles. Aesthetics specialists can achieve all this.
