Cosmetic dentistry refers to any dental work that improves the appearance of teeth, gums and bite. Common cosmetic dental procedures include teeth whitening, tooth reshaping, dental bonding, bridges, veneers, and gum lifting. Ceramic or porcelain is used in the process of tooth restorations to closely mimic the appearance of natural tooth structure instead of gold or amalgam.
