Cosmetic Dentistry / Yerevan
A smile is an important part of our personality. White, clean teeth create the best first impression of an individual and radiate health and confidence. However, not everyone is naturally blessed with perfect teeth. Aesthetic dentistry utilizes state-of-the-art technologies and treatment options to give you your most beautiful smile.
What is aesthetic dentistry?
Aesthetic dentistry is a specialized field within dentistry that deals with the appearance of teeth. Each person naturally has a different tooth color. Furthermore, tooth enamel can also change due to frequent coffee consumption or cigarette use – teeth can become discolored, have defects, or may be entirely missing due to dental conditions such as periodontitis.
The field of dental aesthetics includes
-
Tooth discolorations
-
Healthy gums
-
Functional harmony of dental arches

Compensation for missing teeth

Treatment of worn-down teeth
Small and larger flaws on the teeth affect the well-being and quality of life for many people. Restoring these through the latest treatment methods is the task of aesthetic dentistry.
What is the difference between red and white dental aesthetics?
Perhaps you have come across the terms red or white dental aesthetics. An essential prerequisite for beautiful teeth is the harmony between teeth and gums. Only when the teeth are surrounded by healthy and pinkish gums can they appear healthy and remain consistently beautiful.
For this reason, white dental aesthetics – such as teeth treatment through bleaching – begins with gum treatment. If there is periodontitis, it must be treated initially to strengthen the tooth-supporting apparatus. Only afterwards can treatments for the beautification of the teeth be carried out. Aesthetic dentistry and dental function are inseparably connected in aesthetic dentistry as well.
Dental Aesthetics through Bleaching: How to Achieve Radiantly White Teeth
Do you also dream of bright, porcelain-white teeth? The natural color of your teeth depends on very individual factors such as the thickness of the dental substance, which consists of the darker dentin on the inside and the lighter enamel layer on the outside.
Your dietary habits also significantly influence the color of your teeth. The somewhat yellowish dentin of your teeth is continually regenerated throughout your life, while the bright, transparent tooth enamel wears down over time. Therefore, it is entirely normal for teeth to darken with increasing age.
With a professional bleaching, we can counteract this process and achieve an optical enhancement of the teeth. The treatment is available in our practice, where we use a special UV light that can lighten your teeth by several shades within a short period. The desired tooth color can be individually adjusted during the process. Bleaching is a gentle procedure for tooth whitening. Within just one hour, you can enjoy a completely new, radiant smile. The results last for an extended period, depending on the degree of whitening and individual tooth characteristics. It can be repeated at regular intervals if desired.
Veneers for the aesthetic enhancement of front teeth

When teeth are severely discolored or worn down, a significant cosmetic flaw often arises, especially in the front tooth area. This can be effectively addressed by creating veneers. Veneers are shell-like dental prosthetics primarily used in the front tooth region. These shells are securely bonded to the front teeth using a special technique, ensuring utmost stability. This approach is often preferred in aesthetic dentistry over other dental treatments like a dental crown, as modern veneers allow for minimal or no tooth reduction. The tooth structure can be preserved by applying a veneer.
Inlays for the aesthetic treatment of molars
While Veneers are the method of choice for the front tooth area, Inlays are used for defects in the molars. These are small ceramic pieces that can restore the chewing surfaces. They are so stable that Inlays can permanently withstand the high chewing load. Inlays can be made in an authentic tooth color, making them not visible from the outside. Inlays are usually used as part of dental treatments to address damage caused by cavities or wear.
