How is Cosmetic Dentistry Different from General Dentistry?

Author: Dr Behnam Aminnejad. Posted: 24.09.24

When it comes to dental care, understanding the distinction between cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry can help you make the best choices for your oral health.

General dentistry focuses on maintaining the health and function of your teeth and gums. It includes routine procedures like cleanings, fillings, extractions, and root canals—all aimed at preventing and treating common dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth infections.

On the other hand, cosmetic dentistry is all about improving the appearance of your smile. Procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and crowns fall under this category. Cosmetic treatments enhance the look of your teeth, addressing issues like discoloration, misalignment, and gaps between teeth.

While general dentistry is essential for good oral health, cosmetic dentistry provides the aesthetic touch that can boost your confidence and smile.

Together, these branches of dentistry work to give you a healthy, attractive smile.
