In many ways, all dentistry can be considered cosmetic. The look and function of your smile go hand in hand, and many of the maladies that can afflict the appearance of your smile can also negatively affect its proper function. While dental hygiene and oral health is a science, cosmetic dentistry is an art form, and crafting perfect smile requires a unique set of skills and experience. As experienced cosmetic dentists in Fresno, Dr. Alex Denes and Dr. Claudia Denes explain the art of cosmetic dentistry, and how it can help improve the quality of your life in more than one way.
A Smile to Be Proud Of
Perfecting your smile can have immediate benefits. If you’re unhappy with your smile, then chances are that you do not show it often. Hiding your smile is unfortunate given the many benefits that smiling provides (including improved health in some cases). However, it is understandable considering that most people consider the smile a large part of a person’s attractiveness. Often, a smile can be healthy (meaning all natural teeth are present and free of infection and disease), and yet one or more blemishes may mar its appearance and detract from its appeal. Cosmetic dentistry addresses these aesthetic issues to help create smile that you will be proud to show the world.
Beauty is More than Skin Deep
Although cosmetic dentistry does focus on appearance, many cosmetic procedures can benefit the future of your oral health. For instance, if your mouth is healthy but one or more teeth are crooked, the odd angles and crevices created by the awkward teeth can provide excellent hiding places for bacterial plaque to form, likely out of reach of your toothbrush. As the plaque hardens to tartar and continues to grow, the bacteria can wreak havoc with your teeth and gums, leading to tooth decay and gum disease.
Treat Your Teeth, Treat Yourself
The smile is one of the most powerful human expressions. It can convey a variety of different emotions, and is universally understood by every culture on earth. Don’t hesitate to bring your best smile forward and begin enjoying a life of full and healthy smiles.
