Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized branch of dental care focused on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and overall smile. It combines art and science to enhance dental aesthetics, addressing issues like discoloration, misalignment, chips, or gaps. Cosmetic procedures can range from simple treatments to complex makeovers, all aimed at creating a more attractive and confident smile.

No. While cosmetic dentistry enhances the look of your smile, many treatments also improve tooth strength, alignment, and function. Procedures like crowns, veneers, and bonding can help protect teeth, improve bite comfort, and support long-term oral health in addition to boosting confidence.
Yes, cosmetic dentistry can address crooked teeth through various methods. While not a substitute for orthodontics in severe cases, procedures like veneers, bonding, or enameloplasty can effectively improve the appearance of mildly crooked teeth, creating a straighter, more uniform smile.
The cost of cosmetic dentistry varies widely depending on the procedure and complexity. Simple treatments like teeth whitening can be relatively affordable, while more extensive procedures like veneers or full smile makeovers can be more expensive. It’s best to consult with a cosmetic dentist for accurate pricing.
While cosmetic dentistry can improve the appearance of an overbite, it typically can’t correct the underlying skeletal issue. For minor cases, veneers or bonding might create the illusion of correction. However, significant overbites usually require orthodontic treatment, possibly in conjunction with cosmetic procedures for optimal results.
