Cosmetic Dentistry
Serving Kanata, Stittsville and Ottawa, Ontario
You may be confused about the difference between cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry. Depending on who you talk to, you might hear that cosmetic dentistry is a branch of general dentistry, or you may hear that general dentistry procedures are encompassed in cosmetic dentistry practice. Both are true. Cosmetic dentistry is simply the more advanced, aesthetically-minded application of general dentistry procedures.
Ottawa Cosmetic Dentistry Technology
Aesthetics are a primary consideration in more than just your dental work. You think about aesthetic sensibilities when you wash your car, when you iron your clothes, and when you prepare your house for sale. Cosmetic improvements are not a new idea, so why has it taken so long for dentistry to think about these principles?
Part of the reason cosmetic dentistry has taken so long to develop is a lack of dental technology. Only in the past few decades has dental technology advanced to the point where you can receive truly natural-looking restorations.
Cosmetic vs. General Dentists
Fortunately, dentists now have the necessary technology to practice the kind of cosmetic dentistry Ottawa patients can count on for topnotch dental care. So why is it that not all general dentists are great cosmetic dentists? There are several reasons:
- Education – The advanced education required for good cosmetic dentistry requires a time commitment that many dentists are not willing to give
- Passion – Many dentists lack the desire to continually learn the most advanced techniques in order to provide the best cosmetic dentistry treatments
- Experience – Many dentists claim to be cosmetic dentists, but are simply performing procedures that they think should work without the hands-on experience required to create natural-looking, beautiful smiles
- Aesthetic eye – In order to achieve beautiful results from a cosmetic dentistry treatment, an Ottawa cosmetic dentist must have a keen eye for aesthetics
