What is Aesthetic Dentistry?

Aesthetic Dentistry is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on enhancing the appearance of teeth. This field considers factors such as the size, shape, color, and alignment of teeth to improve their visual appeal while maintaining their health. The primary goal of aesthetic dentistry is to achieve a more attractive smile while ensuring the overall health of the teeth.
 

What are the Aesthetic Dentistry Applications?

Aesthetic dentistry encompasses various procedures designed to improve the appearance of teeth. Common applications include:

• Porcelain Laminate Veneers: Thin porcelain veneers are applied to the front surfaces of the teeth to enhance their shape, color, and size.
• Porcelain Crowns: These crowns cover the entire tooth, improving both aesthetics and strength, while also enhancing the functionality of the tooth.
• Teeth Whitening: This procedure lightens the color of the teeth, making them appear whiter and brighter.
• Implants: Implants address tooth loss by placing artificial tooth roots that integrate with the patient’s mouth structure to restore missing teeth.
