Restorative dentistry restores both the function and health in your mouth and also any cosmetic problems, while cosmetic dentistry mostly focuses on restoring the cosmetics. Sometimes, when we're considering dental procedures, it's just as easy to opt for one option as it is for the other. Take, for example, braces. Whether we're looking to align your teeth, apply veneers, or install crowns for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, it's just as feasible to ensure they're properly aligned for optimal functionality.
Cosmetic dentists have several methods to enhance your teeth. They can achieve this through teeth repositioning using options like Invisalign or traditional braces. Alternatively, they may employ non-invasive techniques like applying a covering to the teeth to alter their shade, shape, or alignment – think of it as adding a bit of “lipstick” to your teeth.
Another avenue is teeth whitening, where no physical alteration to the teeth occurs. Instead, the focus is on removing stains to brighten your teeth, leaving you with a dazzling smile that makes you truly happy.
