Cosmetic dentistry involves dental procedures with the aim of improving the overall aesthetics of your smile. A beautiful smile can have numerous effects on an individual's self-confidence, self-esteem and personal relationships.
Cosmetic Dentistry is general dentistry and more. While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, mouth and smile. In other words General dental practices address dental problems that require necessary treatment, whereas cosmetic dentistry provides elective — or desired — treatments or services.
Cosmetic dentistry may also provide restorative benefits. For example, dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat decayed teeth. Previously, most dental fillings were composed primarily of gold, amalgam and other materials that left visible dark spots on the teeth.
