What is esthetic dentistry?

Esthetic dentistry, also known as cosmetic dentistry, focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth and smile. Whether you’re looking to brighten your teeth, fix minor imperfections, or completely transform your smile, our doctors have the experience and skill to help you achieve the natural confident smile you deserve.

Can esthetic dentistry restore my dental health?

Yes, while the primary focus of esthetic dentistry is to enhance the appearance of your smile, many treatments also significantly improve dental health. For instance, a dental crown not only enhances the shape, size, and color of a tooth for a natural-looking result, but it also restores strength and function to a damaged tooth. Similarly, orthodontic treatments like clear aligners straighten teeth for a more attractive smile while reducing the risk of bite issues that could lead to jaw pain or broken teeth. However, some procedures, like teeth whitening, are purely esthetic and don’t improve function, and can only be done on teeth free of decay or disease.
