Introduction While general dentistry is
concerned with the prevention and treatment of
oral diseases, cosmetic dentistry focuses on
improving the patient's facial appearance. Some
cosmetic procedures can have oral health
benefits, and you may find that your general
dentist carries out a range of cosmetic
procedures. Both are slightly different from each
other but play a significant role in our oral
health. In this ppt, the Dentist Miami team is
going to discuss the difference between cosmetic
dentistry and general dentistry.

General Dentistry General dentists treat dental
issues related to oral hygiene, pain, and
discomfort. In General Dentistry, dentists
frequently do root canals, tooth extractions, and
cavity fillings, among other general dentistry
operations. Additionally, general dentists are
only qualified to conduct a small number of
aesthetic operations, like bonding and tooth
whitening.

What do general and cosmetic dentists do? Your
primary source for information on your general
oral health is your general dentist. A general
dentist often diagnoses oral illnesses, offers
preventative care (including cleanings), looks at
and interprets your X-rays, and develops
treatment plans to help you attain or maintain
your oral health, according to the British
Columbia Dental Association. A cosmetic dentist
is concerned with how your teeth and gums look.
According to the American Academy of Cosmetic
Dentistry (AACD), cosmetic dentists provide a
variety of aesthetic procedures, including
veneers, dental implants, teeth bonding, and
teeth whitening.

Although general and aesthetic dentistry are
different, there are occasions when they are
similar. For instance, in general dentistry, if a
patient has a rotting tooth, the tooth needs to
be pulled to stop the decay from getting worse.
However, the smile's look changes after
extraction. To replace the lost tooth, the
patient may choose to obtain porcelain veneers
(cosmetic dentistry). In the end, it may be
claimed that the distinction between general and
aesthetic dentistry is arbitrary.
