Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance (though not necessarily the function) of a person’s teeth, gums and/or bite.

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about white teeth, it’s more about the overall appearance and health of your teeth and gums, with the aim being an increased sense of well-being and better self image

COSMETIC DENTISTRY MAY INVOLVE:

The addition of a dental material to teeth or gums – examples: bonding, porcelain veneers (laminates), crowns (caps), gum grafts

The removal of tooth structure or gums – examples: enameloplasty, gingvectomy

Neither adding nor removing dental materials, tooth structure, or gums – examples: teeth whitening (bleaching), gum depigmentation
