What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is an important part of overall dentistry. In some cases, people elect to have cosmetic dentistry performed on their children in order to improve their smile and overall appearance. In others, cosmetic dentistry is chosen in order to reverse or repair a defect that, while not harmful to overall health, has a negative impact on appearance. Moreover, some procedures can improve oral problems, such as the bite.

Many treatments are used to treat teeth that are discolored, chipped, misshaped, or missing. Cosmetic dentistry can reshape teeth, close gaps, restore worn or short teeth, and even change the length of teeth.

“Composite Facing” uses tooth colored material “Composite” to fill in gaps or change the color of the teeth.
Also used for uneven surfaces & oddly chapped chipped teeth.
