A cosmetic dentist aims to improve the overall appearance of a patient's smile. With the advancement of technology, there are a number or machines and tools that can be used to perform procedures that can get this done. Cosmetic dentists have taken advantage of such technology to help their patients not only with their teeth but with their physical health as well.
Teeth fillings are usually made from amalgam of silver or gold. However, if you open your mouth, these fillings will be visible to other people. Since cosmetic dentists are concerned about the appearance, the fillings that they recommend and actually use are matched to the color of the tooth enamel.
There are a lot of other services that are offered by a cosmetic dentist that will improve your appearance. But there are two main services that a cosmetic dentist can provide. The first is a smile makeover which aims to improve the appearance of your overall smile through services such as teeth whitening, veneers, and dental braces.
The second one is a full mouth reconstruction. It involves the process of correcting the bones, gums, teeth, and muscles. More than one dentist is usually needed in order to complete the procedure for a full mouth reconstruction. This is a very complicated operation for those who might suffer from trauma or accidents that need specialized service.
