What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry procedures are some of the most popular in the world. See how improving your teeth can enhance your smile and boost confidence in this patient education video.

When I think about cosmetic dentistry, I see it as dentistry that’s focused on enhancing how you feel about your smile. It’s all about improving the cosmetic aspects of your teeth, which can have a profound impact on your confidence and self-esteem. While cosmetic dentistry isn’t always necessary from a health perspective, it plays a crucial role in how you present yourself to the world.

I’ve had many patients who were once hesitant to talk or smile because they were unhappy with their teeth. After undergoing cosmetic dentistry, they’ve transformed into completely different people—confident, happy, and eager to share their smiles. You can see the difference not just in their teeth but in their eyes. There’s a new twinkle, a sign of the joy and self-assurance they now feel, which radiates outward and changes how others perceive them.

Cosmetic dentistry may not address physical health issues, but it can significantly improve psychological health. It’s about giving people the confidence to express themselves fully without holding back, and that can be life-changing.
