Cosmetic dental procedures have become something of a hot topic in the last decade. The proliferation of products, techniques, and terms can lead to patients being unclear about just what’s going to happen once they’re in the dental chair. Today, our Chicago dentist discusses just what cosmetic dentistry is – and how it’s slightly different from what we practice at Hinsdale Dentistry. Have you heard the term “aesthetic dentistry” before? We’ll elaborate all it entails – and how aesthetic dentistry is something dentists strive to provide for their patients.

Defining Aesthetic Dentistry: Skillful Cosmetic Dental Work from our Chicago Dentist

Though “cosmetic dentistry” is the most popular term for dental work done to change the appearance of a smile, it isn’t the most constructive umbrella term. Cosmetic dentistry technically refers to dental work that is significant in nature and is noticeable due to that significance. Simply put, cosmetic dental work stands out as dental work. If your worked-on teeth are exceptionally white, straight, square, and symmetrical, you will have a pretty smile. But that smile won’t be unique to you – it will look like a standard recreation of the Hollywood smile, the overly enhanced American ideal.

Aesthetic dentistry is very different.

Aesthetic dental work is only possible at the hands of a highly skilled dentist. Fortunately, our Chicago dentist practices with both experience and aesthetic talent. Your smile makeover will be natural-looking and personally tailored to your face and personality. The smile that we work with you to create (because your input is just as key as our expertise) will be suited to you, and won’t be noticeable as a smile that has undergone cosmetic dental work. That’s our promise to our patients. Few hope to broadcast their dental procedures. We take that one step further and give you a smile that’s ideal but subtle.

Aesthetic dentistry is what our Chicago dentist offers to every patient that walks through our practice door. Know that when we refer to what we provide as “cosmetic dentistry,” we are actually creating something of greater value.
