The Versatility of Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry enhances the beauty and function of teeth while promoting the overall health of individuals. With simple corrections to more invasive treatments, the versatility of cosmetic dentistry continues to make it a popular and appealing option for patients of all ages. Make no mistake—cosmetic dentistry is about more than appearance. This is why more and more patients are seeking personalized cosmetic treatments.

Why Cosmetic Dentistry?

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, dental professionals are quick to note—a little goes a long way. In other words, a simple change or correction such as removing stains, reshaping teeth, or repairing cracks and chips can make a big difference in a patient's smile and confidence. Thus, while cosmetic treatments often have the reputation as being invasive, requiring several appointments or phases, this is not true.

Another reason many seek cosmetic treatment is to combat the effects of aging. For instance, two common concerns as people age is discoloration of teeth and tooth erosion. With these corrections, patients look years younger. In turn, patients report that their newfound confidence allows them to perform more efficiently in their careers, even providing extra confidence and motivation to assume more responsibility.

One aspect of cosmetic dentistry that is overlooked is its role in prevention. For example, a procedure such as tooth bonding not only restores the appearance and function of a tooth, it decreases the patient's risk for tooth fracture and decay in the future. Therefore, dental professionals and patients are learning that while cosmetic dentistry treatments are "elective," they are worth the investment.

It's true—the versatility of cosmetic dentistry gives it incredible value, beyond appearance. If you are unhappy with your smile, or if you are concerned about your oral health, ask your dentist about how cosmetic dentistry can enhance your smile, as well as your oral health.
