To most people, dentistry may not seem like a dynamic medical industry, however, dentistry is a constantly evolving field, especially when it comes to cosmetic dentistry practices. Today's cosmetic dentists have a wider variety of treatment options and materials to offer their patients than ever before. The result is a better looking smile for the patient.

While people once had to contend with metallic dental work glinting in their mouths, this is no longer a requirement today. Modern materials can mask dental treatments like crowns and fillings in the teeth. Dentists in Charlotte do not have to always use silver-colored repairs on the teeth. Porcelain options look just like the rest of the teeth, fixing the physical dental problem without sacrificing the appearance of the smile.

Cosmetic dentistry practices today also include porcelain veneers. These are custom-fitted to the patient's teeth to create a straight, bright smile where before a set of worn, slightly crooked teeth existed. These porcelain veneers require special crafting to properly fit over the patient's existing teeth, but they will last for years and are more comfortable than dentures because they are attached to the existing teeth. Charlotte cosmetic dentists may also use computer simulations to show the patient what the results of a cosmetic dental procedure will look like, ensuring that the patient has a clear image of what to expect.

Though innovative, dentists who specialize in cosmetic dentistry still custom-tailor each procedure to the individual. This lets the patient get the best results possible with the care and concern of the dentist.
