What does a cosmetic dentist include?

A cosmetic dentist focuses on treatments that enhance the appearance of your teeth, gums and overall smile, while still protecting your oral health.

This typically includes professional whitening, composite bonding to repair chips or reshape edges, porcelain or composite veneers, and cosmetic crowns or bridges for damaged or missing teeth. Many cosmetic dentists also offer clear aligner systems such as Invisalign to straighten teeth discreetly, along with gum contouring to rebalance a “gummy” or uneven smile.

At clinics such as Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre, your cosmetic care usually begins with a detailed consultation, photographs and sometimes digital smile design to plan your results. You will receive a tailored treatment plan, clear pricing and advice on maintenance, so you understand every step before committing and can combine cosmetic and general dentistry where appropriate.
