Cosmetic
Dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry (smile improvement / makeover) focuses on improving appearance while maintaining long-term oral health. This aspect of dentistry is similar to beauty treatments in that it seeks to improve the appearance of the teeth, boosting patient's sense of well-being and confidence by removing yellow and gray colouring, straightening and aligning crooked teeth and compensating for signs of wear and gaps by evening up the teeth. Alignment reduces crowding allowing easier brushing and thus improving long term oral health. Treatments may include air-flow surface stain removal, whitening, alignment of teeth, veneers (composite or porcelain) and composite bonding.

Can treatments be combined?
Yes, many patients combine whitening, alignment and veneers or composite bonding.
