COSMETIC DENTISTRY 101 The Basics and the Benefits
There are many kinds of dentistry, including anti-aging dentistry and preventative dentistry. In the mix, you also have cosmetic dentistry, a type of dentistry that includes numerous procedures and treatments Dr. Maddahi specializes in. But what is cosmetic dentistry? Cosmetic dentistry focuses on dental procedures and techniques that are specifically designed to improve the appearance of your teeth, smile, and face. The goal of every cosmetic procedure is to leave you with a natural- looking smile that is healthy and attractive.
You want to work with a dental practitioner who can see the same things you see and envision the same beautiful smile you have in mind — or perhaps an even more beautiful smile than you imagined.
Many things are possible with cosmetic dentistry. Here are a few options:
• • •
Full-mouth rehabilitation
Straightening of crooked teeth
Fixing teeth that are too small or uneven in size
• Repairing teeth that have been ground down or damaged • Whitening teeth that are stained, yellowed, or grayed with age • Reshaping teeth • Replacing missing teeth • Eliminating gum disease • Reshaping a gummy smile • Correcting old or failing dental work • Closing gaps between teeth • Replacing old metal fillings, crowns, or inlays with durable, biocompatible, tooth-colored ceramic
A cosmetic procedure may alter the shape, size, color, or placement of your teeth — it all depends on your specific desires. Each of us has our own vision
of the perfect smile; with the advancements in cosmetic dentistry, it is possible to make that vision a reality so you can gain the confidence to show the world your smile. In many respects, cosmetic dentistry is an art. It not only requires skill and planning to be effective, but an artistic eye.
