Ancient Cosmetic Dental Procedures that Will Surprise You

Talk to your Dentist in Corona if you have been considering Cosmetic Dentistry. These days’ dental implants, veneers, bonding and whitening are restorations that have definitely come a long way.

Tooth whitening is certainly not new, in fact, the ancient Egyptians would use a pumice made with vinegar to whiten their teeth while the ancient Romans subjected themselves to urine to give achieve a brighter smile. During the 17^th century, barbers got into the act. Patients would sit in the barber’s chair for a haircut and a shave while the barber would file their teeth before applying an acid treatment to brighten their smiles. This practice did the job, but unfortunately eroded the tooth’s enamel, which led to tooth decay.

The early Italians, or Etruscans, would use ivory and bone to fashion dentures, while other civilizations resorted to teeth from animals or dead humans to make dentures. Unfortunately, real teeth from animals and humans would not last causing extreme cases of halitosis and other problems.

According to Wikipedia, dental implants were used by the ancient Egyptians who would pound seashells into the gums. In fact, a skull that contained an iron tooth was recently found dating back as far as 100 A.D. Today’s dental anthropologists have surmised that these early implants actually integrated themselves into the jaw much like the dental implants that Cosmetic Dentists use today.

The bling and dental grills that your favorite celebrities wear date back as far as the Mayans who went to great lengths to show off their teeth. Early Mayan dentists would drill notches and grooves into the ruling classes’ teeth before placing and cementing quartz, fluorite, lapis, amazonite, and other semi-precious stones. As painful as this may seem, early Cosmetic Dentists would use an anesthetic made from herbs that would ease the discomfort.

Thanks to modern dentistry, you do not have to resort to painful and less than pleasant Cosmetic Dentistry techniques to get that toothy grin that you have always dreamed of having.

Invisalign works by wearing a series of invisible aligners that no one can see, and because the majority of treatments can be completed in as little as a year, your smile will be perfect before you know it.

Invisalign aligners are meant to be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day and removed when you eat, drink, brush, and floss. The comfortable aligners require less time in the dentist’s chair because you will not have to have your metal wires and brackets constantly adjusted.

Invisalign works by wearing a new set of aligners every couple of weeks. Your dentist will schedule appointments every six weeks ensuring that your Invisalign treatment is on the right track. The average number of aligners worn varies from patient to patient but is usually between eighteen and thirty.
