What does a Cosmetic Dentist do?




A lot of people ask what does a cosmetic dentist do?  There are many definitions but ordinarily a dentist that can act as a cosmetic dentist can improve the appearance of your teeth through sound dental procedures.

A cosmetic dentist often has the following options to help a patient:

  • Tooth reshaping to alter the shape of a tooth or teeth to improve appearance
  • Dental Bonding allows a composite to be placed over teeth and then having that material hardened.  This enamel like material will then appear natural.
  • Dental bridges can be used to fill in gaps left by missing teeth.
  • Veneers can be used to cover teeth that do not respond to teeth whitening to create a beautiful smile.
  • Professional teeth whitening can be done to dramatically improve the whiteness of one’s teeth.  

All of the procedures mentioned can be done by Dr. Douglas Hamill in Amherst, NY!  Dr. Hamill looks forward to hearing from those who would like a professional evaluation from those looking to improve their appearance in addition to having healthy teeth.
