This field of dentistry refers to the dental procedure that improves the appearance of the teeth or smile. Cosmetic Dentistry, though mainly focusing on the aesthetics of the teeth, also serves to improve the functionality of the teeth and overall oral health.
Cosmetic Dentistry is usually undertaken if one has missing or crooked teeth, or is unhappy about cracks, gaps, chips, or stains.
Cosmetic dental treatment includes changes to:
- Tooth colour
- Teeth positioning
- Jaw alignment
- Gum line
- Shape and size of the teeth
- Overall smile
