Differences between General and Cosmetic Dentistry

At Perfect Smile Spa in Essex not only do we specialise in Cosmetic Dentistry we also do general dentistry too! After all you can only do cosmetic dentistry on a healthy mouth so any fillings or gum treatment would need doing would need to be done first.

General Dentistry

General dentistry covers any treatment that needs doing in regards to the health of your mouth. This includes fillings, sealants and even root canal treatment. Prices can range from £70 upwards. Before any cosmetic dentistry treatment can be considered your mouth needs to be completely healthy. Usually all dentists offer general dentistry.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic dentistry covers any treatment that alters the appearance of your teeth. This includes home and laser whitening, porcelain veneers and cosmetic dentures. Prices can range from £199 upwards. Cosmetic Dentistry is performed by a Cosmetic dentist who specialises in cosmetics. They are called Cosmetic Dentists. You will find that all dentists who offer general dentistry also offer some kind of cosmetic dentistry but only a few are specially trained to do this. You can find this out by enquiring about the courses the Cosmetic dentists have attended and how many times a week they perform the kind of dentistry you require.

Another difference between general and cosmetic dentistry is that general dentistry is treatment you need to have done to your mouth to ensure your mouth stays healthy. Cosmetic dentistry is something we want doing to our teeth to make them look cosmetically better.
