Seeing a Cosmetic Dentist To Renew Your Smile

A cosmetic dentist helps patients fix minor imperfections with their smile. They do this by offering a variety of treatment procedures specifically designed to improve the appearance of the patient.

By understanding the options available and how the process works, individuals can make a more informed decision about cosmetic treatment.

An overview of treatment with a cosmetic dentist

There are certain times when visiting a cosmetic dentist is incredibly beneficial. It is helpful to understand the benefits and potential treatment options.

The following is an overview of what exactly a cosmetic dentist is, what treatment options might be ideal and how the process works.

What is a cosmetic dentist?

A cosmetic dentist is a dentist and completes the same level of education and training as a general and family dentist. The difference, however, is a cosmetic dentist chooses to focus on the appearance of a patient’s smile. They are less concerned about addressing issues for oral health reasons alone.

Of course, many cosmetic dentists also offer more general procedures as well. However, the intention behind the procedure is likely slightly different for both the dentist and the patient.

What treatment options are available?

Cosmetic dentists offer personalized treatment and tailor the exact treatment plan to what the patient needs most and the preference of the patient. Most offer a wide variety of treatment options to choose from. Some of the more frequently requested services include:

  • Professional whitening
  • Teeth straightening
  • Dental veneers
  • Tooth bonding
  • Teeth replacement

Cosmetic dentists can combine treatment procedures to provide a complete service for patients who have more than one cosmetic imperfection.

How can a cosmetic dentist help?

Cosmetic dentists work to address cosmetic concerns of patients in an effective and efficient manner. The first step they are likely to take is to conduct an oral examination of the patient. This will help them learn about the patient's medical history and discuss treatment goals. After doing so, they can work out a short-term and long-term treatment plan for the patient.

When to visit a cosmetic dentist

Visiting a cosmetic dentist is a good idea for anyone who is not happy with the way they look while smiling. The reality is the quality of a person’s smile plays a role in his or her level of confidence, attractiveness to others and even the way he or she is viewed in a professional setting.

A common misconception is that patients who seek treatment from a cosmetic dentist only do so to become more attractive. For many, it is more about being able to perform better in job interviews, improve oral health and simply feel better about themselves each day.
