Almost everyone wants to achieve that dazzling, perfect smile, but not everyone is born with it.  This is where cosmetic dentistry comes in.  In Cosmetic Dentistry, dental procedures are combined with aesthetic techniques developed by professionals to  improve the quality of oral hygiene.  Aesthetics is a specific field in dentistry that specializes in the cosmetic restoration of  a beautiful and healthy set of teeth.

The most common dental problems that require cosmetic dentistry are the following:

• Cracked teeth
• Chipped and broken tooth
• Unevenly separated teeth
• Stained or tooth discolored
• Fractured teeth
• Exposed tooth
• Worn tooth Enamel and fillings
• Gum diseases

At first, gum and tooth improvement or restoration procedures were fashioned for models, celebrities, movie stars, and rich individuals who felt that they require professional intervention in the beautification of their smile.  But with the advancement of new procedures, materials and techniques available today in the field of dentistry and orthodontics, doctors can now cater to a broader spectrum of patients that seek specialized help.
