Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on enhancing the appearance of your teeth, gums, and smile. It includes a wide range of procedures aimed at improving the aesthetics of your smile. Not to be confused with general dentistry, a cosmetic dentist is an artist in how they shape teeth.
You won’t be able to notice a difference between dental implants and natural teeth in terms of strength or appearance. In fact, implants are considered even stronger than natural teeth. No matter the hardness of any food, you’ll be able to chew with ease using dental implants. While traditional dentures move around when chewing and eating, dental implants will remain in place, giving you the same strength you enjoyed with natural teeth.
We offer a variety of cosmetic dental procedures, including teeth whitening, veneers, dental crowns, dental implants, and orthodontic treatments like Invisalign.
