Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic Dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. Unlike general dentistry, which primarily deals with oral health and function, cosmetic dentistry aims to enhance aesthetics while also maintaining or improving dental health.
Common Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures:
- Teeth Whitening – Removes stains and discoloration for a brighter smile.
- Dental Veneers – Thin porcelain or composite shells that cover the front surface of teeth to correct imperfections.
- Dental Bonding – A tooth-colored resin is applied to fix chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth.
- Crowns & Bridges – Restorative options that improve the shape, size, and strength of damaged teeth.
- Orthodontics (Braces & Aligners) – Corrects misaligned teeth for a straighter, more appealing smile.
- Gum Contouring – Reshapes the gum line to improve balance and symmetry.
- Dental Implants – A permanent solution for missing teeth that restores function and aesthetics.
Cosmetic dentistry not only enhances a person’s smile but also boosts self-confidence and contributes to better oral health.
