Aesthetic dentistry, also known as cosmetic dentistry, focuses on enhancing the appearance of a person’s teeth, smile, and overall oral aesthetics. This branch of dentistry includes various procedures aimed at improving the color, shape, size, alignment, and overall attractiveness of teeth. Common aesthetic dentistry procedures include:

    1.    Teeth Whitening: To brighten and whiten discolored teeth.
    2.    Porcelain Veneers: Thin, custom-made shells applied to the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance.
    3.    Dental Bonding: Using tooth-colored resin to repair or enhance the appearance of teeth.
    4.    Dental Crowns: Caps placed over damaged or discolored teeth to restore their shape and function.
    5.    Orthodontics: Straightening teeth with braces or clear aligners for improved alignment.

Aesthetic dentistry aims to combine functionality with visual appeal, contributing to both oral health and confidence in one’s smile. If you have specific questions about aesthetic dentistry or particular procedures, feel free to ask!
