Traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral disease. In contrast, cosmetic dentistry focuses more on the appearance of your teeth and the smile you show the world. While most cosmetic dentistry is elective in nature, many cosmetic procedures these days are also restorative as well and help to keep your teeth strong and healthy while giving you the smile you are looking for. As a Cosmetic Dentist in Calgary, We at Inglewood Family Dental Clinic offers both restorative and cosmetic dental care options for patients to help our patients enhance or redesign the look of their smiles.
Cosmetic Dentistry and It’s Procedures
Cosmetic dentistry offers dental procedures ranging from bleaching teeth to remove stains or discolorations to dental implants to replace missing or broken teeth. While some procedures can be done with general dentistry, such as tooth-colored fillings, or by orthodontics for braces, cosmetic dentistry is dental work that you elect to undergo in order to change your appearance, similar to general cosmetic surgery.
