What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is the field of dentistry that addresses aesthetic issues with your smile. Your cosmetic dentistry restorations will improve the health and function of your teeth and gums just like general dentistry restorations do. However, an equal focus will be placed on the appearance of your results to help you achieve the beautiful smile you desire.
What aesthetic issues can be addressed by cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry can address just about any aesthetic issue you may have with your teeth and gums, including:
- Chipped or cracked teeth
- Stained or discolored teeth
- Missing teeth
- Teeth that are too short or too long
- Gapped teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Gummy smile
