Cosmetic treatments are a significant part of dentistry and focus on improving a patient’s smile, teeth and mouth. Treatments may be elective, but they’re arguably as important as traditional dental hygiene treatments because they may improve the patient’s overall well being and confidence. A range of cosmetic dentist supplies are available online for common cosmetic dentistry treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, lumineers, composite bonding, inlays/onlays and dental implants. You can guarantee you’ll get dentist supplies at the best wholesale prices when you shop online. Let’s take a look at some of the cosmetic dentist supplies that every dental surgery needs: Bleach and tooth whitening products Bleaching and tooth whitening is one of the most commonly and most easily performed dentistry treatments that can instantly give patients a Hollywood smile. With tooth whitening dental supplies, you can choose your strength according to whether you need to treat mild to moderate stains such as coffee stains, heavier stains caused by tobacco, or severe stains caused by tetracycline. Bonding agents and etching gels With composite bonding, broken, chipped or overlapping teeth can be easily repaired, contoured and sculpted into shape in just 30 to 60 minutes. Dental supply companies carry bonding agents for both self-etch and total-etch procedures. Self-etching bonding agents are all-in-one products that allow you to etch, prime and bond in one step, so they’re less messy. The total -etch procedure is slightly more involved as it requires a rinse before primer and bond are applied. Composite bonding brushes These brushes are used to perform composite bonding procedures and help to place agents and gels in the inner surfaces of teeth. You’ll have to decide if you want your composite bonding brushes in regular, fine or super-fine sizes. When purchasing composite bonding brushes, look for brushes that are bendable up to 90 degrees (so you can tackle those hard-to-reach places) and have fibers that don’t lint. It’s also useful to choose brushes contained in dispensers with built-in antimicrobial properties for added dental hygiene. Flowable composite Flowable composite flows easily like ink or light gel and is ideal for repairing small tooth defects or gum recession. Flowable composite has low viscosity and good consistency, so it flows easily without being too sticky or running or bubbly, and comes in a range of shades. Flowable composite dental supplies have a long shelf-life when stored properly, and products are suitable for both anterior and posterior applications. Glass ionomer restoratives Glass ionomer cement is a restorative material used for fillings and has a color and texture designed to replicate the appearance of teeth. Today’s glass ionomers are designed to reduce post-operative sensitivity, are moisture tolerant, and have a strong chemical bond and adhesion to enamel to provide long-lasting restorations. These dental supplies are designed for permanent restorations, but you can also use them for temporary applications, depending on the patient.
