Cosmetic dentistry, cosmetic teeth surgery or cosmetic tooth surgery are terms used in the dental industry for cosmetic dental work that can improve the appearance.

To deliver the desired results it is important that patients carefully select a cosmetic dentist who has the respective training and/or experience in this particular field of dentistry to avoid any long-term damage that can occur when undergoing such procedures.

There are a wide range of cosmetic dentistry services and cosmetic dental treatments that come in many forms. They can involve a variety of procedures ranging from the removal of teeth, straightening of teeth, whitening of teeth (also known as bleaching) as well as the addition of porcelain veneers, crowns and inlays.

Many types of restorative material can be used to restore teeth, which are badly chipped, fractured or broken down. Whenever enamel is removed as part of a procedure it is important for patients to know that this is something that cannot be reversed and is therefore a permanent part of the overall procedure.

White fillings are used routinely and are bonded to the teeth. They can be used for veneers, improving the shape of a tooth and for closing spaces between teeth. Other solutions used for closing the space between teeth are dental bridges and cosmetic dentures.

For straightening teeth there are now a wide range of fixed and removable braces, some of which are clearly visible and others, which are nearly invisible.
