A beautiful smile can make all the difference in helping you look and feel your best. If you weren’t born with perfectly straight, white, or even teeth, achieving the smile of your dreams is still possible. With the help of modern cosmetic dental treatments, the trusted team at Restoration Dental can help transform the appearance of your teeth. Before scheduling your complimentary consultation, here’s what you should know about how a cosmetic dentist could benefit you.

Cosmetic Dentistry Overview

When you think of going to the dentist, you probably think about general dental procedures used to prevent dental diseases or restore the health of your smile once an oral health problem has developed. Unlike preventative or restorative treatments, cosmetic dentistry is performed specifically with your aesthetic goals in mind to improve your teeth’ shape, size, position, or color.

What Is the Role of a Cosmetic Dentist?

A cosmetic dentist enhances the appearance of their patient’s teeth and gums through cosmetic dentistry procedures. Their job is to make your smile more attractive, boosting your self-esteem and allowing you to share it with others confidently. Anyone unhappy with how their teeth look could benefit from a cosmetic dentist. Unfortunately, not all cosmetic dentists are the same. Because of this, it’s important to review their credentials, experience, and results of their real-life patients before undergoing any cosmetic dental procedures.

What Is the Difference Between a Cosmetic Dentist and an Orthodontist?

An orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in diagnosing, preventing, and treating problems with the position of one’s teeth or jaws. While some people may seek out an orthodontist to address their cosmetic dental concerns, orthodontists also strive to improve the function, comfort, and health of their patient’s smiles. On the other hand, cosmetic dentists can perform orthodontic procedures to improve the appearance of crooked teeth. However, orthodontics is only one of many treatments they utilize to help their patients.
