Cosmetic dentistry is the field of dentistry that generally refers to the appearance and sometimes overall health of teeth. There are several procedures that fall under cosmetic dentistry such as straightening, bleaching, crowns, veneers, implants. Some of the benefits of cosmetic dentistry can be life changing for people.
Social benefits are (in my opinion) one of the most rewarding to witness. Often times people that are ashamed or embarrassed by their smile have no social life at all is. This can lead to social anxiety to the point that someone would not want to advance in a career or even have a career. It is amazing to watch someone leave your dental office smiling after completion of a cosmetic procedure. Just by changing someones smile you can boost their confidence level to the point of having relationships with people again.
There are also health benefits related to cosmetic dentistry. Dental hygiene usually becomes very important to someone who has invested in their smile. Some headaches, earaches, and jaw pain can also be resolved by changing bite relations and straightening teeth. Some cosmetic procedures could also lead to nutritional health if a patient has had a limited diet due to tooth pain, and chewing abilities.
