Beauty is Power.

Cosmetic dentistry:

Is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance( though not necessary the function) of a person's teeth, gums and/or bite.

Examples:

Teeth Whitening, Crowns and Veneers , Bridges, Dental implants, Dentures, White fillings and Bite Reclamation (raising the vertical dimension in a collapsed bite). Patients who have had years of excessive wear to their teeth due to grinding or acid reflex can alter their vertical bite dimension. This gives them a closed or shorter look to their face and smile. By opening up their bite, a qualified professional can reclaim their vertical dimension and sometimes even remove unwanted wrinkles as well ( see also Crowns , Bridge and denture sections in this site).
