Cosmetic Dentistry with a Prosthodontist

Achieving the perfect smile is a popular quest for many individuals. For some it may only be a matter of getting their teeth whitened. This is the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure across the globe and it can make a huge difference in your appearance, especially if your teeth are particularly stained or dingy. For other individuals, acquiring the perfect smile may entail considerably more.

Restorative work, cosmetic detailing and other procedures may be necessary in some cases to achieve the desired outcome. While the general dentist can perform these procedures adequately, the prosthodontist has additional training that produces superior results.

The Prosthodontic Edge

The additional training that prosthodontists receive includes learning about the small nuances that create a beautiful and natural-looking smile. Perhaps you have noticed how some individuals have a smile that looks artificial or unnatural. Their teeth may be bright, but they almost look too bright. The smile may look perfect, but it does not look natural. Prosthodontists receive training that gives them the insights into what makes a smile look beautiful and real. Small details can be the difference between a smile that looks like you were born with it or one that you bought.

Your prosthodontist can also guide you into making the best decisions for creating the perfect smile for your facial features. Several factors are taken into account. For example, the size, color and shape of your natural teeth, the tone of your skin color and the dimensions of your face, all of which factor into creating the most natural-looking smile unique to you.

The Aesthetics of a Natural Smile

Your best smile functions well and looks great. The prosthodontist strikes the delicate balance between the two, providing you with a healthy oral environment as well as a beautiful smile. You can have a healthy mouth and a not-so-great looking smile and visa versa. Ideally, you will have both and your prosthodontist can achieve that for you.

The benefits of a healthy and beautiful smile extend beyond the obvious. Not only is oral health restored, your confidence and self-esteem also can increase as a result of your new smile. The health benefits of smiling have been researched and documented. In short, an appealing smile is good for your overall well-being, as well as your self-confidence.
