What is cosmetic dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry involves dental procedures with the aim of improving the overall aesthetics of your smile. This is often referred to as a " smile makeover", "Hollywood smile" or "Wedding smile". A beautiful smile can have numerous effects on an individual’s self-confidence, self-esteem and personal relationships. The recent increase in media focus on the smile, with TV shows such as Extreme Makeover, has created a public awareness about cosmetic dentistry and its accessibility.
