For many years, dentistry was only concerned with improving the functionality of a smile. Nowadays, however, patients are also very interested in how their smile looks, and modern dentistry has adapted to that. A facial aesthetics dentist takes this one stage further by addressing not only the look of teeth and gums but also by harmonising the surrounding facial features to create true symmetry and balance.
While the latest cosmetic dental techniques, like teeth whitening or veneers, can achieve outstanding results, in reality, it’s only a tooth makeover. As we age, the collagen that gives support to our skin starts to diminish, leaving us with fine lines, wrinkles and a sunken appearance.
