What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dentistry that uses advanced dental techniques to improve the appearance of your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry differs from regular dentistry because it is more concerned with the appearance of your teeth. On the other hand, the focus of general dentistry is on preventive treatment, including tooth fillings and cleanings.

The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to make your smile look better. Cosmetic dentistry can assist if you have minor gaps between teeth, dental discoloration, chipped or broken teeth, or irregular or malformed teeth. Dental cosmetic procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, dentures, and many others.

Good oral health is a prerequisite for cosmetic dentistry procedures. You need to get help from the dentist to initially treat any significant cavities or gum disease. You and your dentist can talk about any necessary cosmetic dental procedures when your oral health is satisfactory.
