Cosmetic Dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance of a person’s teeth, gums and/or bite. Cosmetic dentistry may involve adding dental material to teeth or gums (dental crowns, veneers, bonding, gum grafts), removal of teeth material or gums (enameloplasty or gingivectomy), teeth whitening (in-office whitening or take home kits), and teeth straightening (referral to an Orthodontist).
