Vanity or health? Reasons for cosmetic dentistry

At Aura Dental, our St John’s Wood cosmetic dentistry team has garnered years of valuable experience with a broad range of patients. This means that we have learned a lot about why people have cosmetic dentistry in St John’s Wood.

Not surprisingly we have found that people have different motivations. The most obvious one is to make their smile, therefore their face, more attractive. After their treatment is complete, our patients don’t just appreciate the way they look but also,perhaps more importantly, the confidence it gives them. In extreme cases it can totally change people’s lives. Some people think it is vain to have teeth straightened or whitened. Indeed, there are cases where the motivation for cosmetic dentistry work is purely vanity as part of a quest for perfection, but cosmetic dentistry has another vital role to play.

This other vital role is keeping your mouth healthy. Sometimes what appear to be natural imperfections can damage your oral health. For example, when people have very crooked teeth it can be almost impossible to keep the gums and teeth properly clean. As a result, teeth begin to decay which leads to discomfort and pain as well as discoloration.
