Cosmetic Dentists

Cosmetic dentists focus on improving the overall look of a smile. They focus on color, size, shape, alignment, and position of teeth to make them appear more attractive. This is important for both adults and children. They can also correct problems with the bite. Read on to learn more about the procedures that cosmetic dentists provide. If you want the most effective treatment for your teeth and gums, choose a dentist who is accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD). The AACD has stringent standards for its members. Members are held to the highest standards and receive board certification in cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Bradley Rule is an active member of the AACD. Cosmetic dentists can restore chipped or broken teeth with custom-made veneers. Veneers are made of thin porcelain laminate and bonded to a patient's tooth. They can also cover gaps or repair chips. Another procedure that cosmetic dentists perform is dental implants. These are tooth-shaped artificial teeth that are attached to the jaw bone and restore a person's smile. For this procedure, a patient must also see an oral surgeon or periodontist. While general dentists provide the same basic dental care, cosmetic dentists are focused on improving the appearance of a patient's smile. These dentists use techniques to improve a patient's smile by improving its color, shape, size, alignment, and position. This process can enhance a patient's self-esteem.
