What is Aesthetic or Cosmetic Dentistry?

Dr. Yagobi believes, "Aesthetic Dentistry is the art and science of restoring a single tooth or an entire smile using techniques that restore function and create a natural appearance."

There has never been a more exciting time in dentistry! New materials and techniques enable us to restore smiles artistically.

Most of us are, by now, familiar with recent medical advances in plastic surgery. Surgeons are now able to sculpt our faces and bodies into a more ideal appearance. Dentists, with the appropriate training and experience, can accomplish the same thing with your smile without surgery! In many case, a renewed smile has a more dramatic effect than a plastic surgery.

It has been noted by many social studies that the first thing we notice about people is their eyes. The second thing we notice is their smile. The saying goes, "The eyes are the window to the soul. A smile is the window to the heart."

Often, we are judged professionally and socially based on our appearance. A confident smile helps us project a positive image. People who don't smile naturally, may be seen as timid, lacking confidence, or possibly, even unfriendly. When your smile is healthy and attractive, many benefits follow. When you smile, people around you will smile too!
