What Is A Cosmetic Dentist?
A cosmetic dentist is a dentist with many years of further training and experience in the field of cosmetic dentistry.
What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is not a legally recognised speciality. So there is nothing stopping any dentist calling themselves a cosmetic dentist. However, doing cosmetic dentistry is not just being a dentist it is being an artist too! Cosmetic dentists are passionate about the appearance of their dentistry and have a high expectation of how their work looks and functions.
To become a dentist in the UK you will complete your bachelor of dental surgery at university with a five year degree. Once complete, the degree then the dentist may choose to follow the hospital route for further training in a chosen subject. Or the dentist may join a general dental practice to do general training.
Usually after a few years of experience in a general dental practice the dentist will attend courses for the specialisation he or she may want to pursue. There are many different specialisations that take years of training to achieve.
Cosmetic dentists have specialised training in cosmetic dentistry. Although there is no GDC specialisation in cosmetic dentistry, there are many courses that a dentist can attend and complete to further their knowledge in cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry courses include porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, dental implants and dental bridges. Also clear braces are a popular cosmetic dentistry course.
