What is “Cosmetic Dentistry”?

It’s a term that is being used almost in every dental office these days—meaning, it’s the focus on the cosmetic aspect of the work we do. Every dentist, to some extent, practices cosmetic dentistry—it’s just whether they’re good at it or not. What I mean by that is, if you got to get a crown put on your front tooth, filling in your back—there’s cosmetic dentistry that even goes into that filling in the back. Does the white match closely to the white that your tooth shows naturally?

The tooth that we put say, half a crown on or a veneer—does that match the other tooth and does it look cosmetically appealing? So, you can’t practice dentistry without the mindset of cosmetic, but some people focus on cosmetic as their primary approach.

In the past decade, technology and innovations in the dental field have given dental professionals the opportunity to create esthetic restorations by mimick- ing nature. The esthetic demands and expectations of patients have risen with the impact of social media, which has made it easy to access information about new technologies and a lot of dif ferent esthetic cases. Today, patients are more willing to have restorations that copy the form, colour, surface texture and func- tion of healthy and esthetic-looking natural teeth. This leads us to observe and imitate natural teeth and smile design not only from functional and mor- phological perspectives, but also structurally, optically and, more importantly, in harmony with the face. In any dental treatment, diagnosis has prime importance, since many steps will be planned and constructed on the basic cause of the problem. Then it will be time for treatment planning. It is very obvious that, whether you work in a solo of fice or in a group practice, team work is absolutely essential. The importance of working as a team is that you will be able to achieve the most ef ficient treat- ment planning. There are dif ferent factors that may influence the treatment planning, including formal education, clinical experience, continuing educa- tion, books and journals followed, exchange of information, working within a good team and, finally, the common sense of the dentist. On the other side, there is the patient, who has to be satisfied with the results of the treatment. In addi- tion to all of the above, the patient’s expectations, mentality, commitment, time and financial conditions will also be taken into consideration while planning the treatment. As we can clearly see, the way to ‘excellence’ is not easy, especially when the esthetic treatment should be executed using a minimally invasive approach. This definitely requires an understanding of the patient’s expectations and a great team ef fort between the general dentist, the specialists and the laboratory involved. Only then can we can truly talk about a successfully completed esthetic case.

I had my initial cleaning 6 months ago and went in for a toothache, turns out my tooth was cracked and they did an emergency crown. Gary was great! He explained my coverage and the cost and Dr. Lou was awesome! She took care of it and explained everything to me and to my surprise it was in-network coverage and cost me half what I thought it was going to be! I highly recommend this practice!

I highly recommend this Excellent Dental Office! As a medical professional, I have known many dental clinics and professionals. My latest dentist retired, and I am happy to have found ILove Dental Care. Gary, the Office Manager, is so helpful. Dr. Cai is skilled, professional, and does an excellent job. Dental Assistant Jaimie is quite competent and helpful and took the extra step to teach me proper care of my partial. I highly recommend this office to all for their Dental Care!

My family has been going to iLove Dental for three years. Cannot speak highly enough about it! The staff is super friendly and helpful. They've been so great with our children, especially the younger two (6yrs and 3yrs), who have been pretty nervous about the dentist. About a year ago we needed to take our five year old daughter in for a small filling. She was extremely nervous and resistant and the staff, especially hygienist Jaimie were SO PATIENT!! (My daughter screamed through almost the entire procedure and both Jaime and Dr. Lou were patient and gracious the entire time, stopping to give her breaks, working for just a few seconds at a time, using many strategies to calm her and encourage her throughout.) Very thankful for these guys and this practice, highly recommend!

The staff there is very friendly and thorough. They spent more time with my son and me than other dentists I have had in the past, with more communication and advice. They are caring and diligent. Very much recommended!

As a veteran dental patient, I have had procedures, large and small alike, done across the globe. I can say for certain that Dr. Lou is simply top-notch. My crowns fit perfectly, not even the slightest bit of uncomfort. She also did a fantastic job optimizing the occlusion between my teeth. I think those who found their way to her are fortunate, as they will be taken great care of. For those still wandering out there in the wilderness, come find Dr. Lou. She's awesome!
