Introduction
  • It is generally used to refer to any dental work
    that improves the appearance (though not
    necessarily the functionality) of teeth, gums
    and/or bite.
  • It primarily focuses on improvement dental
    aesthetics in color, position, shape, size,
    alignment and overall smile appearance.

  • There are primarily two dental specialties that
    predominantly focus on dental esthetics.
  • They are
  • Prosthodontics
  • Orthodontics
  • Types
  • Cosmetic dentistry may involve
  • the addition of a dental material to teeth or
    gums examples bonding, porcelain veneers
    (laminates), crowns (caps), gum grafts
  • the removal of tooth structure or gums
    examples enameloplasty, gingivectomy
  • neither adding nor removing dental materials,
    tooth structure, or gums examples teeth
    whitening (bleaching), laser whitening, gum
    depigmentation
  • straightening of teeth accompanied by improvement
    in appearance of face  orthodontics

  • Tooth bleaching It is either restoration of
    natural tooth shade or whitening beyond natural
    tooth shade, depending on the definition used.
  • Bonding  A chemical bond is a lasting attraction
    between atoms that enables the formation of
    chemical compounds.
  • Dental bridges A bridge is made up of two crowns
    one on each tooth on either side of the gap --
    these two anchoring teeth are called abutment
    teeth -- and a false tooth/teeth in between.
  • Tooth Size Discrepancy The concept of ideal
    intercuspation assumes a strict relationship
    between tooth size and the size of maxillary and
    mandibular arches.
  • Veneers  A thin decorative covering of fine wood
    applied to a coarser wood or other material.
  • Dental Implants  Dental implants are metal posts
    or frames that are surgically positioned into the
    jawbone beneath your gums.
