There are a number of dental procedures that are dedicated to enhancing the looks and smile of the patient, the dental professional who performs this work is commonly referred to as a cosmetic dentist in Colorado Springs. Although this professional might focus on cosmetic dental procedures he or she is every bit as educated and trained as any dentist and, they have taken additional training in the various cosmetic procedures that are focused on enhancing the patients smile rather than repair a dental problem.
Although the cosmetic dentist focuses on the cosmetic side of dentistry it does not mean that the patient’s oral health is neglected. Before the dentist can successfully enhance the looks of the patient the overall oral health must in perfect. Once the dentist has ensured that the teeth are healthy and sound, then the dentist can focus on the various cosmetic procedures he has available at his finger tips, such treatments include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental implants, replacing amalgam fillings with white resin, etc. If the patient requires orthodontic work the dentist will coordinate with the orthodontist to ensure that the finished results are ideal and meet the patients every expectation. In many cases there is nothing wrong with the patient’s teeth and there is no medical reason for seeking treatment, cosmetic procedures are being done so the individual can regain lost confidence and be be proud of their new smile.
A cosmetic dentist in Colorado Springs can be thought of as a “smile designer,” once the teeth have been put into a good state of repair the dentist and the patient work hand-in-hand; working toward achieving the look that the patient has been long dreaming about. For perfect results the teeth must be perfect as well, many cosmetic dentists offer general dentistry as well, allowing the patient to have only one dentist rather than two or more. Many patients elect to work with a dentist who offers both general and cosmetic dentistry as it is more convenient and they get to know their dentist better.
