Definition and Focus

We know that cosmetic dentistry is all about improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and bite. The focus is on dental aesthetics such as color, position, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance. The Greek view of beauty is based on symmetry and harmony, and cosmetic dentistry strives to achieve that same balance in a person's smile.

To achieve the best results, a team approach is often used. This brings together periodontists, orthodontists, prosthodontists, and dental labs. This collaboration ensures that all aspects of a patient's dental health are taken into consideration, leading to a beautiful, healthy smile.

Cosmetic dentistry is an art form based on the perception of beauty. We believe that everyone deserves to feel confident and proud of their smile.

Common Procedures

Dental veneers, teeth whitening, and composite bonding are among the most common procedures used to enhance the appearance of teeth.

Composite bonding is ideal for covering tooth damage and improving the appearance of the original tooth. It involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to the tooth surface, which is then shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth. This procedure is ideal for correcting minor dental imperfections, such as chips, cracks, and discoloration.

Teeth whitening, on the other hand, is a procedure that lightens teeth to shades lighter than the original teeth. Professional teeth whitening is faster and more effective than store-bought products, and can be done in-office or at home with custom-made trays.

Dental implants are also commonly used in cosmetic dentistry. Implants fit in perfectly with the surrounding natural teeth and are permanently secured, making them a popular choice for individuals who are missing one or more teeth. It's important to note that proper dental hygiene is crucial during the implant screw placement period to ensure the best possible outcome.

Importance and Benefits

Having a beautiful and confident smile can positively impact various aspects of our lives. It's not just about the aesthetics, but also the confidence that comes along with it.

Research has shown that a person with a beautiful smile is perceived as more attractive, successful, and trustworthy. This can lead to improved confidence, which can translate into positive life changes such as job opportunities and better relationships.

Furthermore, a beautiful smile can also improve our overall health. When we feel good about our smile, we're more likely to take care of our oral hygiene, which can prevent dental problems in the long run.

Additionally, cosmetic dentistry procedures such as dental implants can improve our ability to chew and speak properly, leading to overall better oral health.
