WHAT IS AESTHETIC DENTISTRY?

What is Aesthetic Dentistry?

Aesthetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a patient’s teeth, mouth, and smile. Aesthetic dentistry can address all sorts of aesthetic flaws. From discoloration and staining to chips, cracks, and gaps, aesthetic dentistry can help.

During an initial consultation, a dentist will examine a patient’s mouth and discuss which aesthetic problems he or she would like to address. From there, the dentist will create a treatment plan.

Benefits of Aesthetic Dentistry

When patients think of restorative dentistry, they often think of fillings, crowns, and other treatments that address one or more of the seven dental concerns outlined by the American Dental Association (ADA). Aesthetic dentistry, on the other hand, is designed to enhance the appearance of your teeth, smile, and face.

Whether you’re interested in teeth whitening, orthodontics, dental crowns, or dental veneers, aesthetic dentistry can help give you back your confidence.

Is Aesthetic Dentistry Right for Me?

Aesthetic dentistry is ideal for those who are willing to improve their smile’s appearance. A practice such as ours offers a variety of cosmetic treatments, including teeth whitening, Invisalign®, dental veneers, and more.

With that said, our dentist may suggest cosmetic dentistry for more than just improving your appearance. For example, many dental restorations are cosmetic, such as dental crowns and dental bridges. If you have broken teeth, our dentist may recommend a dental crown, which restores the tooth, but also improves its appearance.

If you are interested in learning more about cosmetic dentistry and whether or not it is right for you, call our dentist at (678) 576-4044 to schedule a consultation.

Am I a Candidate?

Aesthetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of a patient’s teeth, gums, and other features of the mouth. This may involve procedures such as porcelain veneers, tooth whitening, and gum reshaping.

What treatment options are right for me?

Aesthetic dentistry is a type of dentistry focused on improving the appearance of your smile. There are several different options available for treating a range of cosmetic dental problems.

1. Tooth whitening

Tooth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry services. When your teeth are deeply stained, professional whitening can remove deep-set stains to restore a whiter, brighter smile.

2. Dental veneers

Dental veneers can help to fix a number of cosmetic flaws. For instance, veneers can cover teeth that are slightly chipped, cracked, or misshapen. They can also fix teeth that are gapped or spaced apart.

3. Dental implants

Dental implants are one of the most desirable cosmetic dentistry treatments available. Dental implants replace missing teeth with a natural-looking, permanent solution.

How long does treatment take?

Typically, it takes two to three appointments to complete a smile makeover. During the initial visit, the cosmetic dentist will examine your teeth and provide treatment recommendations. The cosmetic dentist will use digital imaging software to create an exact model of the mouth and will show the patient how their new smile will look.

Can I get insurance to cover my treatment?

Yes. If your insurance provides coverage for cosmetic dentistry, we will accept assignment of benefits. However, insurance rarely provides coverage for elective procedures, so most treatment plans include direct payments from the patient.

Aesthetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that is focused on improving the appearance of your teeth. This might include correcting discoloration, closing gaps in your teeth or changing the overall shape or size of your teeth.

Aesthetic dentistry is also referred to as ‘cosmetic dentistry’. Many people believe that cosmetic dentistry and aesthetic dentistry are the same thing. However, while aesthetic dentistry can include procedures that correct cosmetics issues, cosmetic dentistry can also be used to correct functional issues.
