What the treatment is
Aesthetic dentistry addresses the appearance of the teeth and smile together with their function, using treatments such as tooth-coloured restorations, veneers, or crowns where appropriate.
Who may need it
It is discussed for chipped, worn, discoloured, or irregular teeth, or where previous restorations no longer match the surrounding teeth.
General overview
Planning starts with an examination and a discussion of what you would like to change. Photographs, scans, or trial designs may be used so that the plan can be reviewed before treatment begins.
What to expect
Dental health is addressed first, since restorations last longer on healthy teeth and gums. The dentist explains what is realistic for your teeth and the maintenance each option needs.
