Cosmetic dentistry, also known as ‘aesthetic dentistry’, focuses on improving the appearance of the mouth, teeth, and smile. Its purpose is to enhance dental aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment, and overall appearance. This field of dentistry uses various methods such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, orthodontics, dental implants, and more to help individuals achieve their desired smile.
Cosmetic dentistry is for those with teeth imperfections or anyone seeking an enhanced smile. Results vary based on the treatment, with some providing immediate effects while others take months or more. Good oral hygiene extends the longevity of results, but touch-ups may be needed.
