FAQs About Cosmetic Dentistry
What Kind of Dentistry is Cosmetic?
Cosmetic dentistry is a specific and professional focus on bettering the overall appearance of your mouth, which includes your teeth, gums, and smile. Cosmetic dentistry’s range of focus can be anything from minor fixes to major cosmetic surgeries such as
teeth whitening, fillings,
dental implants, and veneers, and more! So, if you want whiter teeth, dental veneers, or full a smile makeover, come see the expert cosmetic dentists at Anderson Dental who will not only improve your oral health, but will also give you the dramatic results you're looking to find!
Can Veneers Fix Rotten Teeth?
Depending on the severity of the tooth decay present, veneers can restore rotten or decaying teeth that are situated in the front of the mouth. Our professional staff at Anderson Dental in Lake Worth will assess the condition of your teeth via X-ray, and if the decay is too severe, the tooth may be ineligible for a veneer and require a root canal or even complete removal.

What’s the Difference Between a Dentist and a Cosmetic Dentist?
The major difference between
general dentistry and cosmetic dentisty is that a general dentist’s main responsibility is the prevention and treatment of dental disorders associated with discomfort as well as maintaining overall health of your teeth, whereas a cosmetic dentist is mostly concerned with the overall appearance of your teeth and smile. For example, a general dentist deals with oral issues like tooth sensitivity, and a cosmetic dentist deals with things like tooth color, dental implants, and whitening treatments.
Are Veneers Bad for Your Teeth?
No, porcelain veneers are not bad for your teeth as long as you see a qualified cosmetic dentist and get the proper treatment. At Anderson Dental in Royal Palm Beach, we have certified cosmetic dentists who will treat any decay and prep your natural teeth to make sure they are healthy before implanting veneers, ensuring they’re harmless to you and your teeth.
