What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is traditional dentistry that has an added dimension of artistry involved. A cosmetic dentist is able to meet all the functional requirements of performing dental work, but also focuses on the appearance of your smile as well.
A cosmetic dentist undergoes extensive post-graduate training and has knowledge of the most advanced techniques and materials available. Many cosmetic dentists are accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), which means a dentist has undergone a rigorous process set out by the AACD to gain accreditation.
The most recent advances in dental techniques and procedures and the most modern materials available make cosmetic dental treatments of today longer-lasting, less invasive and more natural looking than in the past.
Some of the most common cosmetic dental procedures today include tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, dental implants and gum sculpting. So-called "smile makeovers" involving combining one or more cosmetic procedures, such as tooth whitening, dental implants and porcelain veneers are used to gain an enhanced, cohesive new look.
Cosmetic dentistry has become a wonderful way to improve your oral health and at the same time improve your appearance with immediate and long lasting results.
If you would like to have more information about the procedures available to improve your oral health and appearance, please contact a cosmetic dentist in your area today.
