Cosmetic treatments may also provide restorative benefits. For example, dental composite filling (tooth-colored material) is a common procedure used to treat decayed teeth.

Smile enhancement can have dramatic results on your overall appearance; even the smallest step can boost your confidence, self-esteem, and make you want to smile more. With modern advances in dentistry, cosmetic procedures can range from a basic color correction to replacing missing teeth, and everything in between.

What to Expect at Your Consultation

Your initial consultation is an opportunity for you to learn about the practice that you’ve narrowed down your search to, as well as discuss what you like and don’t like about your smile. It’s also an opportunity to establish realistic expectations for your treatment.

Cosmetic consultations typically include records gathering. Because these records are important for developing a unique and precise treatment plan that will satisfy your needs, a significant amount of time may be spent for this purpose. Records gathering involves, but is not limited to:

• A comprehensive intraoral examination and inspection of any existing dental work.
• Intraoral photographs
• Radiographs (X-rays)
• Scanning of your upper and lower teeth (models and study casts will be made later).
• Looking through smile design books that show an assortment of before and after photographs of different procedures.
• Reviewing different tooth shapes and sizes to see what appeals to you.
• Discussing tooth color

Can restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry be used together?

Often, restorative dentistry will fix any major issues, such as missing or broken teeth, and then cosmetic measures can be taken, such as reshaping, to put the finishing touches on a new smile
