Cosmetic Dentistry
Improving the appearance of your smile through modern dental techniques.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dental care focused on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. While general dentistry addresses oral health — cavities, gum disease, infections — cosmetic dentistry focuses on how your smile looks. The two often overlap. A filling can be functional and tooth-coloured. An implant can replace a missing tooth and restore your smile's appearance. But the primary goal of cosmetic work is aesthetic improvement.
Common Concerns Cosmetic Dentistry Addresses
People seek cosmetic dental treatment for many reasons:
- Discolouration: Teeth stained by coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or natural ageing
- Chips and cracks: Minor damage that affects the look of front teeth
- Gaps and spacing: Spaces between teeth that feel noticeable
- Misalignment: Crooked, crowded, or uneven teeth
- Worn edges: Teeth that have flattened or shortened over time
- Gummy smile: Too much gum tissue visible when smiling
- Old dental work: Metal fillings or dated crowns that no longer match
- Overall dissatisfaction: Simply not liking the way your smile looks
Types of Cosmetic Dental Treatments
Cosmetic dentistry includes a range of treatments, from simple to complex:
Teeth Whitening
The most common cosmetic procedure. Professional whitening removes stains and brightens teeth several shades using controlled bleaching agents — far more effective and safer than over-the-counter products.
Dental Bonding
A tooth-coloured composite resin is applied directly to teeth to repair chips, close small gaps, or reshape edges. It’s quick, affordable, and often completed in one visit.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin shells of ceramic bonded to the front surface of teeth. Veneers can transform colour, shape, size, and alignment — often used for complete smile makeovers. High-quality veneers mimic natural enamel with translucency and depth.
Clear Aligners
Removable trays that gradually straighten teeth. Aligners address mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite issues — improving both function and appearance without metal braces.
Smile Makeovers
A combination of multiple treatments — whitening, bonding, veneers, aligners, contouring — planned together to achieve comprehensive transformation.
Dental Implants
Titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth — and prevent the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing.
Gum Contouring
Reshaping the gum line to create better proportion between teeth and gums. This can make teeth appear longer and more balanced.
Cosmetic vs. Aesthetic Dentistry — Is There a Difference?
The terms are often used interchangeably. Some dentists prefer “aesthetic dentistry” because it implies a focus on natural-looking results that harmonise with facial features — not just making teeth whiter or straighter, but making them look like they belong.
In practice, both terms refer to the same field: dental work primarily aimed at improving appearance.
Who is a Candidate for Cosmetic Dentistry?
People seek cosmetic dental treatment for many reasons:
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums can benefit from cosmetic procedures. However, underlying issues need to be addressed first:
- Cavities should be treated before whitening or veneers
- Gum disease must be controlled before any cosmetic work
- Bite problems may need functional correction before aesthetic enhancement
A thorough assessment ensures cosmetic work is built on a healthy foundation — so results look good and last.
Is Cosmetic Dentistry Worth It?
For many people, yes. Research consistently shows that people who feel confident about their smile:
- Smile more often
- Feel more comfortable in social and professional situations
- Report higher self-esteem
Whether it’s whitening before a wedding, veneers to fix long-standing insecurities, or aligners to finally straighten crowded teeth — cosmetic dentistry can have a meaningful impact on quality of life.
