  fixing your smile and the general appearance of
  your teeth.
• Where cosmetic dentistry is concerned, the focus
  here is the art, not the actual science behind
  the procedure.
• Although cosmetic dentistry is not considered a
  recognized specialty in the world of dental care
  and profession, however it does take years of

• Various procedures that are done which are
  included in cosmetic dentistry which gives better
  texture to teeth are as follows
• Bleaching is done to lighten teeth that are
  stained or discolored. It entails the use of a
  bleaching solution applied by a dentist or a gel
  in a tray that fits over the teeth used at home
  under a dentist's supervision.
• Bonding involves applying a tooth-colored plastic
  putty, called composite resin, to the surface of
  chipped or broken teeth.
• This resin is also used to fill cavities in front
  teeth (giving a more natural-looking result) and
  to fill gaps between teeth.

• Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that cover the
  front of the teeth. They can improve the
  appearance of damaged, discolored, misshapen, or
  misaligned teeth. Reshaping involves the removal
  of enamel from a misshapen tooth so that it
  matches other teeth.
• Orthodontics uses braces to correct the position
  of crowded or misaligned teeth.
• Implants are artificial teeth which are attached
  directly to the jaw to replace missing teeth.

• Now let us understand the dentistry, cosmetic
  dentistry and how it is different from
  restorative dentistry
• Restorative dentistry procedures are common to
  general or family dentists and involve the
  diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting
  the teeth, gums and maxillofacial (jaw and face)
  portions of the body.

• Although cosmetic dentistry and restorative
  dentistry actually overlap each other, as both at
  times will utilize crowns and implants for tooth
  restoration as an example, the main difference
  between the two is their focus and the level of
  expertise of the dentist.
• Cosmetic dentist is the one who goes beyond the
  restoration procedures. Where a restorative
  dentist would stop at helping an individual
  achieve a set of full functioning teeth, a
  cosmetic dentist will go beyond, not only
  correcting the teeths functioning, but will also
  seek to attain results that match well with the
  individuals idea of a perfect smile.
• This requires quite some expertise and a very
  accurate level of finesse as the cosmetic dentist
  needs to pay attention to even the minutest of
  details such as how much teeth should a person
  have visible while he/she smiles etc.

• Restorative dentistry will also fix structural
  problems with your teeth such as damaged or
  missing teeth. Restorative dentists use devices
  such as dentures, crowns, bridges, onlays, inlays
  and also dental implants to restore your teeth
  and their proper functioning. But thats where
  restorative dentistry ends.
• If you want to enhance your smile, you should
  always seek help from a cosmetic dentist as they
  go into the art of it along with the science.
  Cosmetic dentistry is completely concerned with
  the aesthetic enhancements of your teeth.
• If you think you have an aesthetic flaw with your
  smile, you can always consult a cosmetic dentist
  for help. Cosmetic dentistry can eliminate these
  problems for you to help boost your overall
  confidence and appearance.
