What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Dentistry is no longer just a case of filling and extracting teeth, as it was for many years. Nowadays, many people turn to dentistry as a way of improving their appearance, much as they would use cosmetic surgery or even a new hairstyle. Cosmetic treatments include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges and tooth-colored fillings.
Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that works to make your smile more aesthetically appealing. A cosmetic dentist will employ techniques such as contouring, dental implants, and surgery to achieve that perfect smile in spite of deformities, injuries, or stains on your teeth. Many people feel that cosmetic dentistry makes them feel better about themselves, as they gain confidence from their improved appearance.
What does Cosmetic Dentistry mean to you?
Did you know that cosmetic dentistry is the art and science of giving you the smile you have always dreamed of?
There are plenty of movie stars, models, and media personalities that have used cosmetic dentistry to improve their image. Today, cosmetic dentistry is not just for “high profile” people, it is for individuals like you and me. Don’t we deserve it too? You bet we do!
Were you aware that the materials used to create smiles have dramatically advanced this past decade? What is used today is not only natural looking but free from metallic materials as well as unhealthy substances used to create exquisite smiles. The days of “black, silver” fillings are now yesterday’s news!
What techniques does Dr Badyal utilize while correcting an array of problems and improve a person’s smile, you might ask? The following procedures are the most common to help to improve a person’s smile:
- Teeth Whitening – Teeth whitening is a great, safe way to whiten stained, discolored or dull looking teeth.
- Veneers – Veneers are used to correct crooked, chipped, and worn teeth while providing what some call “instant orthodontics”.
- Crowns & Bridges – You could rid yourself of an unwanted partial by having permanent bridgework done. Ever wonder how to fill in missing teeth in a mouth, Crown and Bridges are the answer.
Were you aware that the first thing people look at is your smile and your eyes? What if there were ways to boost a person’s self-image, self-esteem and make them have more confidence in their lives, would you want to know how?
Cosmetic dentistry can do just that for you!
An American Academy of cosmetic dentistry survey revealed recently that 75% of Americans who responded believed an unattractive smile could hurt a person’s chance for career success, while 92% said an attractive smile is an important social asset.
The cosmetic dental practice of Dr. Mannie Badyal invites you to come by our Phoenix or Chandler office and find your perfect smile. Let us show you how you too can the dream smile that you have always wanted!

Cosmetic Dental Procedures: Teeth Whitening
Whitening of the teeth is performed for patients who desire a brighter smile. Tooth whitening can be performed to reduce discoloration and staining, or simply to provide the patient with whiter, brighter teeth. Stained or gray teeth can be significantly ‘whitened’ using advanced modern materials. The treatment is also called ‘bleaching’ or ‘brightening’. More often, tooth whitening is undertaken in a cosmetic dental practice. If done at home, it should still follow dentist instructions to ensure safe and effective results.
Teeth Whitening Choices
Assuming that your natural teeth are amenable to whitening, you can undertake treatment either in the dental practice or at home.
Dental practice teeth whitening method
This involves applying a concentrated oxidizing gel to the teeth (either Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide). The gums around all the upper and lower teeth are covered with a special protective rubber material. The lips and the tongue are gently ‘kept out of the way’. A special light source applied to each tooth, or to all the teeth together, activates the bleaching process. The entire procedure takes abount an hour. During this time you can listen to music or watch a DVD.
We can usually achieve significant results after one visit (6-8 shades brighter teeth – see Zoom Teeth Whitening page) , but further visits may be required to achieve the degree of whiteness that you desire.
At-home teeth whitening method
The dentist constructs special thin, light and transparent fitting trays from individual models of the patient’s upper and lower teeth. A small amount of oxidizing gel (15% strength as opposed to 35% strength as used by dentists) is placed on the inside surface of each tray by the patient and worn overnight for about eight nights.
Can all teeth be whitened?
The whitening or bleaching process can work on all natural teeth, although the degree of whitening will depend on age and the initial color of the teeth. Any ‘man-made’ material used on the teeth, such as crowns, veneers and fillings is not affected. In rare cases when teeth have been badly discolored as a result of using antibiotics in childhood, whitening alone will be ineffective. More extensive cosmetic work will be required to achieve the whitening effect.
Comfort aspects
In most cases the teeth whitening process is painless. However should patients experience a tingling during the procedure and/or some degree of temperature sensitivity, the dentist can apply an analgesic. After the whitening treatment there may be a minor dull ache for up to 24 hours, which is also resolved with an analgesic.

Arizona Family Dental uses the most advanced cosmetic dental technology and techniques to achieve the finest smile makeover results. We take pride in the countless beautiful smiles we have created through high-quality cosmetic and restorative dental procedures such as Invisalign®, porcelain veneers and crowns, Zoom!® Advanced Power™ teeth whitening, laser gum recontouring, bonding, and more. Our patients have been consistently pleased with the way their smile makeovers have dramatically altered their appearance, boosted their confidence, and changed their lives.
Should you start off with a dental consultation?
A dental consultation is not essential, but nevertheless advisable. Although tooth whitening is a simple procedure, it needs to be evaluated along with other aspects of smile and tooth enhancement. What is the shape and position of your teeth? What about crowns and fillings that will not whiten? How much whitening can you expect with your shade of teeth? What are your habits? How quickly do you want to see results? These questions help the dentist to determine the best possible treatment plan for you.
Tooth whitening can make a significant difference to your smile. It is an inexpensive and effective procedure, whether done at home or in the dental practice. Discuss all aspects with your dentist as part of a ‘Cosmetic consultation’ appointment.
