Cosmetic Dentistry is general dentistry with an added dimension—besides all the functional requirements, the dentist must pay close attention to the appearance of the dental work. Tooth-colored materials in dentistry have progressed to the point where they can now be used confidently in almost every restorative situation, enabling us to provide durable AND beautiful dental work to every patient. But it requires considerable extra training to use these materials effectively.
Unfortunately, cosmetic dentistry is not generally taught in dental schools as part of the normal curriculum. A dentist can graduate from most dental schools and pass the board exams without any knowledge of esthetics or modern bonding techniques. To become qualified in those areas, a dentist needs to pursue additional training after graduation. Each cosmetic dentist listed for referral has gone through that additional training required to become expert in this field.
