Orthodontic
Orthodontics is one of the oldest and most common methods of treatment and cosmetic dentistry to straighten teeth.

Dental lamination
One of the methods of beautifying teeth that is very popular today and there are few people who have not heard of it is dental lamination. If you have irregular teeth or there is a gap between your teeth, you are the right case for dental lamination. Dental laminate is a thin layer that is placed on the tooth and has different materials. To prepare the laminate, a mold is first taken from the patient’s teeth, and then the laminates are prepared in the laboratory based on the mold of the patient’s teeth. In many cases, a portion of the patient’s tooth must be shaved to laminate the tooth. As we said, dental laminates have different materials, which are generally divided into two types of ceramic and composite laminates.
In new types of laminate, the amount of teeth grinding has been greatly reduced.
Dental composite
One of the types of dental laminate is composite. Composite is less strong than laminate and more likely to break and crack, but it is very easy to repair. Another difference between composite and laminate is that it does not require molding and can be done in one session. Also, in composite, the amount of tooth grinding is much less than in laminate. There are different types of composite and different prices depending on the strength.
Dental crowns
Dental veneers are used when the crown of the tooth, i.e. the outer part of the tooth, has been lost, but the root, i.e. the part inside the gum, is healthy. In these cases, the dentist uses veneers to restore the patient’s teeth. Dental veneers also have different types and different prices. Veneers are often used for canines, but can also be used to preserve the appearance of front teeth. Today, the best type of dental veneer is zirconia veneer.
Gum lift
In some patients, when laughing and smiling, a part of the gum can be seen, which does not have a pleasant appearance, this type of smile is called a gummy smile. To solve this problem, the doctor uses a gum lift. In the gum lift procedure, the patient’s gums are pulled up so that his gums are not visible when he laughs.
Dentists use a gum lift to increase the length of the tooth crown and remove some of the patient’s gum. This procedure does not require anesthesia or stitches and can be performed only with anesthesia and in one session. Of course, depending on how much of a person’s gum is visible when laughing and whether the problem is related to the position of the upper jaw or the shortness of the upper lip, there are different prescriptions for treatment, sometimes only by cutting a part of the gum by doing Sensory or laser can solve the problem and sometimes it is necessary to perform jaw surgery.
