General Dentistry vs. Cosmetic Dentistry
General or traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene, the prevention and treatment of oral disease, and in general, addresses the problems that require the essential care and treatment of disorders and diseases of the teeth, gums and jaws.
Cosmetic dentistry takes general or traditional dentistry to a different level that introduces art to the science of dentistry. A cosmetic dentist must pursue considerable post-graduate training to be competent in the performance of cosmetic dentistry.
A general or traditional dentist is able to provide a variety of services including but not limited to professional dental cleaning and whitening procedures, the detection and treatment of gum disease (periodontitis and gingivitis), the practice of sedation dentistry, oral cancer screening, dental implants and dental bonding.
A cosmetic dentist can meet all your dental care and treatment needs with the added dimension of having the ability to enhance your appearance at the same time with immediate and long lasting results. Some of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures performed today are include porcelain veneers, dental bonding, teeth whitening, dental implants and gum sculpting.
If you are interested in learning more about what cosmetic dental procedures are available and how they can help you obtain the smile you have always wished for, please contact a cosmetic dentist in your area today.
