COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Very few people are born with the perfect smile, however, advances in dentistry over the years has meant that dentists can now alter the shape, size and colour of most teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry’ as it is otherwise known, is a way of improving the smile and enhancing one’s general attractiveness. The smile is not just about the dental components, although this is important. These days, it’s about how it harmonises with the rest of the facial features, such as the lips, gums and cheeks.
In years gone by, dentistry was simply a case of extracting and filling teeth. Contemporary aesthetic and reconstructive dentistry now offers revolutionary techniques and materials, at more affordable prices, thus enabling more and more people to rejuvenate their smile, should they choose to do so.
Prior to treatment, an in depth consultation between dentist and patient
is essential to establish the expectations of both parties, and to agree
a treatment and payment plan that will provide the best outcome for the
patient.
