Is Restorative Dentistry Cosmetic Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is not really cosmetic dentistry as such, but it can be done for the purposes of improving how your smile looks. For example, dental implants are used to create a strong base for replacement teeth, which improves the health of the mouth and the look of the smile. A white filling might be used instead of a silver filling purely for cosmetic reasons even though it isn’t necessarily the most practical option for everyone.
