Cosmetic dentistry is to improve the appearance (though not necessarily the function) of the teeth.

Some procedures would consider cosmetic:

• Porcelain Veneers
• Bonding to reduce gaps or spaces
• Crowns when placed to improve appearance
• Teeth Whitening
• Dental Implants when placed to improve teeth spacing and smile gaps
• Orthodontics when completed specifically for “smile correction” instead of “bite correction”

Cosmetic dentistry is a little different from aesthetic dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry uses more advanced and invasive methods to make your teeth look a little better than what is considered perfect.
