Cosmetic Dentist
A cosmetic dentist is capable of performing a variety of different dental procedures for their patients that will significantly improve their appearance of their teeth and oral hygiene.
One of the most common treatments that a cosmetic dentist will administer to patients is tooth whitening. An increasing number of people are opting to improve the appearance of their smile with tooth whitening treatments. This is especially true of people whose teeth have become discolour or stained through years of coffee drinking and smoking. Many cosmetic dentists will utilise specialist veneers to disguise discolouration to teeth. Bleaching is also another common practice employed to restore the teeth's natural whiteness.
Many of the treatments available from a cosmetic dentist can also be performed by a standard dentist, however in many cases these treatments will not be available to people want them for non-medical purposes. For example a cosmetic dentist will be willing to perform treatments such as fitting caps or crowns for purely cosmetic purposes. Normally a dentist would only perform these types of treatment if they deemed it necessary because the patient had damaged their teeth in some way.
Many cosmetic dentists will offer their clients a comprehensive package of treatment that will incorporate several minor treatments to give the general appearance of their mouth an overhaul. They will also be able to offer more intensive treatments that focus on one particular area that the patient is unhappy with.
