Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dental care focused on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. It encompasses a variety of procedures and treatments designed to enhance the aesthetic aspects of the teeth, addressing issues like color, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile appearance.
Dental professionals who offer cosmetic options can improve the appearance of stained, chipped, and misshapen teeth, and correct uneven gums and replace old fillings with nearly invisible filling materials.
Cosmetic dentistry procedures are elective and, therefore, often not covered by insurance.
