In-Depth
What You Need to Know
While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene, prevention, and treatment of disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving appearance. Many procedures serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. Popular cosmetic treatments include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, tooth-colored fillings, gum contouring, and full smile makeovers combining multiple procedures. Cosmetic dentistry has grown significantly with advances in materials and techniques, making procedures more natural-looking and longer-lasting. Most cosmetic procedures are not covered by dental insurance as they are considered elective.
