What does the word “cosmetic” make you think? Does it remind you of all the glamorous stuff that looks good only from the outside? You are amongst many others that think so. We have been seasoned to think so. Hence, when it comes to cosmetic dentistry, we tend to relate it to vanity only.
But apart from this vanity, the functional benefits of cosmetic dentistry are often neglected. Cosmetic dentistry has served the functional aspects of teeth from the very beginning. For example, having your teeth aligned properly can make your smile look perfect. At the same time, it solves the problems you face due to misaligned teeth in chewing your food.
Cosmetic dentistry has served the functional aspects of teeth from the very beginning. Dental implants are the most long-lasting way of replacing missing teeth. This method involves inserting titanium implants that work as roots into a jawbone. Traditional braces are the classic orthodontic treatment that many of us have gone through during childhood. Teeth whitening may look like the most superficial of dental treatments to those who do not believe in cosmetic dentistry.
