What does a Cosmetic Dentist do?

Cosmetic dentists perform a variety of procedures to improve the appearance of teeth and gums. These procedures may include:

• Teeth whitening: Cosmetic dentists can use a variety of techniques to whiten teeth, including laser whitening, Zoom! whitening, and at-home whitening kits.
• Veneers: Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are bonded to the front of teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers can be used to close gaps, fix chipped or broken teeth, and change the shape or color of teeth.
• Dental bonding: Dental bonding is a procedure in which a tooth-colored resin is applied to the teeth to repair chips, cracks, or other imperfections.
• Gum contouring: Gum contouring is a procedure in which the gums are reshaped to improve the appearance of the smile. Gum contouring can be used to remove excess gum tissue, to create a more even gum line, or to expose more of the teeth.
