What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry serving Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
When most people think of cosmetic dentistry, they think of procedures focused only on the appearance of the smile. Cosmetic dentistry can also be functional; incorporating aesthetics into necessary restorative procedures as well.
Some examples of cosmetic dentistry include:
- Tooth whitening
- Porcelain veneers, for both cosmetic and corrective purposes
- Porcelain and composite fillings, to restore the structure of the tooth with a beautiful, natural looking finish
- Porcelain crowns, to replace missing teeth with natural looking, permanent caps
- Complete smile makeovers, to restore the function and the beauty of the smile
Cosmetic dentistry is the practice of dentistry with an emphasis on aesthetics. This includes procedures done solely for cosmetic purposes, as well as restorative dental procedures that incorporate cosmetic aspects, to leave the patient with teeth that not only function properly, but look beautiful and healthy as well.
Cosmetic dentistry can't be categorized simply as specific procedures. Something as functional and necessary as having a cavity filled can incorporate aspects of cosmetic dentistry, just as many of today's cosmetic dentistry procedures can be used for reconstructive procedures.
