Aesthetic Dentistry
Aesthetic dentistry includes treatments designed to improve the natural appearance of the teeth and smile. Tooth colour, shape, size, and proportions are evaluated together with overall facial and smile aesthetics. Composite restorations, teeth whitening, and other aesthetic procedures may be included in an individually designed treatment plan.
