What is aesthetic dentistry?
Aesthetic dentistry is a field of dentistry where dentistry applications from different branches are used together. The aim of aesthetic dentistry is to make the teeth look aesthetically more impressive and beautiful as well as healthier.
Aesthetic dentistry practices aim to design the most aesthetic and harmonious smile for the person by organizing different physical areas. These include the shape of the individual’s teeth, the brightness and shade of the teeth, the size of the teeth, the appearance of the gums, the pose and fullness of the lips and gum health. Aesthetic dentistry applications are therefore often referred to as smile design.
Aesthetic dentistry applications eliminate gum recession, chipped teeth, stained and badly colored teeth and other deformities of the teeth that do not look aesthetic when smiling. As a result, increased self-confidence and communication comfort are supported.
