Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and the overall smile. The main goal of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the teeth while also improving their function and health.
Some of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and dental implants. These treatments can improve the appearance of stained or discolored teeth, restore chipped or broken teeth, and replace missing teeth with natural-looking prosthetics.
Teeth whitening is one of the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures. This treatment involves the use of specialized bleaching agents to remove stains and discoloration from the teeth, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile. At-home and in-office whitening treatments are available, and both can provide dramatic results.

Veneers (Hollywood smile) are another popular cosmetic dental treatment. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front of the teeth to improve their appearance. They can be used to cover stains, chips, and gaps, and can also improve the overall shape and size of the teeth. Veneers are a great option for those who want a complete smile makeover.
What is different?
Bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that can be used to repair chipped or broken teeth. A tooth-colored resin is applied to the damaged area, shaped and then hardened with a special light. The result is a natural-looking repair that blends in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
What is different?
Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth. An implant is a small titanium post that is placed in the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time to create a stable and durable foundation for a replacement tooth. Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, a custom-made crown is placed on top to complete the restoration.
