What is cosmetic dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry, also known as , is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the aesthetics of the smile. Unlike traditional dentistry, which focuses primarily on dental health and functionality, cosmetic dentistry focuses on the appearance and visual appearance of teeth.
This discipline combines scientific knowledge and advanced techniques to treat dental aesthetic problems, such as discoloration, crowding, malformations or tooth wear. Its main objective is to provide patients with a more harmonious, bright and attractive smile, thus improving their self-esteem and confidence.
Cosmetic dentistry offers a wide range of treatments, from the simplest and most conservative, such as teeth whitening, to the most complex, such as the placement of veneers or surgery to correct the position of the teeth.
Dental cosmetic treatments
Within aesthetic odontology there are various treatments, some more complex than others, but the purpose of all of them is the same, to correct aesthetic characteristics of the teeth such as color, size, imperfection or even changing the piece completely.
Some of the most common aesthetic dentistry treatments are:
Teeth whitening
This is possibly the most common and well-known treatment. Teeth whitening is performed with the purpose of lightening the teeth and providing the patient with whiter and more uniform teeth when the teeth are already a little yellow.
Orthodontic treatments
Orthodontic treatment is performed to align the teeth and improve their aesthetics, however it is also used to correct the bite and improve the patient’s swallowing.
Dental implants
Dental implants are also a very common treatment, since thanks to this treatment, patients can recover missing or very deteriorated teeth, in an effective and lasting way.
Invisalign invisible orthodontics
Invisalign orthodontic treatment is currently well known as it uses transparent plastic aligners, with which, in addition to not aesthetically affecting the patient’s smile, wonderful results are also obtained.
Benefits of cosmetic dentistry
Although it could be said that most of the benefits are due to the aesthetic results obtained thanks to these treatments, not all of them result in only superficial benefits.
Beyond improving the appearance of teeth, aesthetic treatments help patients regain confidence in their smile, allowing them to smile freely and without fear of feeling prejudice.
Thanks to this, according to multiple studies carried out, it is concluded that laughter and smiling increase the longevity and happiness of the person, which is why it is a fairly important benefit to add to all those that have to do with only the aesthetic results of the patient.
