Aesthetic dentistry, also known as cosmetic dentistry, focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. It combines art and dental science to enhance dental aesthetics in terms of color, shape, size, alignment, and overall smile design. Common procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, tooth-colored fillings, and orthodontics. While the primary goal is visual enhancement, many treatments also contribute to improved dental function and oral health. Aesthetic dentistry plays a key role in boosting confidence and helping individuals feel better about their smiles.
