What is General Dentistry?
General Dentistry is an important part of maintaining good oral hygiene. From regular dental check-ups and cleanings through to common procedures like fillings, general dentistry is all about the health of your teeth and gums. It also covers more complicated procedures such as wisdom tooth extraction, which not everyone will need, but might be necessary for your dental health at some point in your life.
What is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic Dentistry is something you choose rather than something you need. Cosmetic dental procedures are used to address certain dental concerns that people may have, such as discolouration, chipping or misalignment of teeth. Suitability for these treatments are subject to clinical assessment by your dentist.
Cosmetic Dentistry is becoming increasingly popular in Australia, as more people are becoming aware of the options available for addressing their dental concerns.
Can any Dental Procedure be General and Cosmetic?
In some cases, a procedure might be needed for general dental health but also has the added benefit of addressing a concern. Some examples of this can be dental implants, which are often used for patients who have lost a tooth/teeth, and gum lifts ; which can be used to improve gum health.
