Introduction

Are you afraid to smile? Would you rather take a picture than be in one because you are too self-conscious of the color, shape, or positioning of your teeth? Are you afraid to open your mouth or yawn for fear of revealing all of those silver fillings?

I routinely ask these same questions to my patients and very rarely will anyone answer that they are not self-conscious of their smile and do not wish that they could improve it in some way.

I often find that many of my patients perceive their teeth to be either too dark, too crooked, overcrowded, chipped, or just misshapen. Many patients want that “Hollywood” smile. They often bring a magazine to my office, point to the cover and say, “I want a smile just like that!” How you feel about your smile is critical to your self-confidence overall.
 

What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry is the art and science of smile design. Almost everyone can enjoy the benefits of cosmetic dentistry. Dentistry has many new materials and techniques that enable me to help my patients improve their self esteem through a more beautiful smile. This article provides a general introduction to some of the latest cosmetic techniques.
