Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry can offer both functional and aesthetic benefits, as some procedures not only enhance the appearance of the teeth but also improve their durability and function. Unlike general dentistry, which is primarily concerned with oral health and function, cosmetic dentistry emphasizes enhancing the aesthetic aspects of the mouth. The goal is to help individuals achieve a smile they feel confident about, contributing to their overall self-esteem and quality of life.

​

Procedures in cosmetic dentistry can address a variety of concerns, including discoloration, misalignment, chips, cracks, and missing teeth. Some common treatments include:

• Teeth Whitening: A process to lighten teeth and remove stains or discoloration.

• Dental Veneers: Thin shells of porcelain or composite resin placed over the front of teeth to correct imperfections like chips, cracks, or misalignment.

• Bonding: A tooth-colored resin applied to teeth to repair damage or improve the appearance of teeth.

• Braces and Clear Aligners: Used to straighten teeth and correct misalignment or bite issues.

• Dental Implants: Artificial roots placed into the jaw to support replacement teeth for those who have missing teeth.

• Gum Contouring: A procedure to reshape the gum line, often to improve the symmetry or appearance of the smile.
