What is Cosmetic Dentistry?

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on the beauty of your mouth, teeth, gums, and jaws. It’s for anyone who has aspects to their smile that they don’t love. It focuses on the position, shape, size, and color of your teeth, as well as the alignment of your jaw and the appearance of your gums. People all over the Minneapolis area are getting cosmetic dentistry because they know it can transform the way they look. You can get cosmetic dentistry too from Dr. Bril. His skill and experience make him the top choice among many of your friends, family, and colleagues. Dr. Bril and his compassionate dental team can help you achieve the smile of your dreams.

How to Choose a Cosmetic Dentist

You may quickly find out that cosmetic dentistry is not a “field” recognized by the American Dental Association. That’s true, but it’s a focus of dentistry that takes time to master. Your smile is a lifelong commitment, so you need an artist, not just any dentist.

If you are going to invest in your smile, make sure you choose a dentist with the education and experience to back up their cosmetic dentistry claims. First, take a look at your cosmetic dentist’s post-doctoral education. If you don’t see any or nothing in cosmetic dentistry, that may be a poor sign. Our Minneapolis cosmetic dentist, Dr. Bril, is passionate about continuing his education. He has achieved the very prestigious and exclusive honor of being an LVI Fellow (Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies). During his training, he learned how to combine art and science to achieve beautiful smiles in the most difficult cases.

Next, take a look at the dentist’s gallery. A smile gallery showcases the work they’ve done so you can explicitly see the quality of work you can expect. We invite you to check out Dr. Bril’s smile gallery to see his work for yourself.

As we mentioned, your smile is a lifelong commitment; choose a dentist who will give you the most beautiful, natural-looking smile possible. Make an appointment with Dr. Bril by calling (952) 944-2052 or schedule online.

Cosmetic Dentistry and Your Health

Your mouth is the gateway to your body. Through your mouth, bacteria can enter your body and reap havoc. This might seem like something general dentistry fights, and it is. However, cosmetic dentistry can be good for your health too. Cosmetic dentistry and your health go hand in hand because a healthy smile is a gorgeous smile. Even things that you might not think are affecting your health, such as a chipped tooth, can become significant issues down the road if you don’t fix them.

Let’s explore the future implications of a chipped tooth. First, your teeth are strongest when they are all in a line and without chips. When one tooth has a chip, it endangers the other teeth and can cause them to chip more easily. More than that, the chip in your tooth opens your tooth up to bacteria that can get from your tooth to your bloodstream and then spread throughout your body. While the chip may not hurt right now, it poses future problems. A chipped tooth is just one example of how cosmetic dentistry aids your health.
