A cosmetic dentist is a dental professional who specializes in improving the appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. While general dentists focus on oral health, cosmetic dentists primarily concentrate on aesthetic enhancements, aiming to enhance the overall appearance of a person's smile. They perform various procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, dental implants, and gum reshaping to improve the color, shape, size, alignment, and overall look of teeth. These dentists use various techniques and technologies to help their patients achieve the smile they desire.
