What Is Cosmetic Dentistry?
Cosmetic dentistry is a practice that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth. In contrast, general dentistry attempts to improve oral health, orthodontics attempts to improve both the look and spacing of teeth, and periodontics focuses on the health of the gums.
Cosmetic dentistry uses techniques and processes like dental bonding, veneers, tooth whitening, and dental implants to ensure your smile is as straight, white, and even as possible.
Some cosmetic dentistry procedures improve oral health, as well. By improving the bite, which ensures even tooth wear, for example, or improving spacing and helping to keep the mouth clean.
In general, most cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance. However, some procedures that improve oral health may be.
The Difference Between Cosmetic Dentistry vs. General Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry and general dentistry differs in their aim. General dentistry aims to improve overall oral health by fixing cavities, gum issues like gum disease, and other oral health issues. Cosmetic dentistry aims to improve the look of teeth by improving spacing, length, gumline, whiteness, etc.
At Absolute Dental, we offer both cosmetic dentistry procedures, as well as general dentistry. In addition, we offer periodontal services, orthodontics, and same-day emergency services to care for all your needs, no matter where you are in Nevada.

Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures and Treatments
At Absolute Dental, we offer just about any cosmetic dental procedure you might want. Our staff is among the best in the business, our facilities are state-of-the-art, and our clients love our patient-centered focus on care.
Services we offer include:
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a service your dentist can provide that whitens yellow or discolored teeth, as well as remove any stains, so your teeth look a natural, healthy white. Professional whitening is one of the simplest and healthiest ways to improve the appearance of your teeth rapidly and with little trouble.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is another rapid, modestly priced procedure that can improve the look of your smile in a hurry. It involves a dentist bonding tooth-colored enamel to your teeth to fix cracks, chips, small gaps, and other imperfections. The process can often be completed in just one visit, is non-surgical, and won’t damage your teeth.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are a process where the dentist bonds porcelain shells to the front of your teeth. They help improve the color, shape, and straightness of your teeth, and are often placed across the entire arch. While they usually take at least two visits to complete, they offer a dramatic smile improvement, even for difficult smiles.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are actually an orthodontic practice rather than a strictly cosmetic one. They are a discreet alternative to traditional braces and use a series of clear plastic trays to align the teeth over time.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They use a titanium post implanted in your natural jaw that acts as an artificial tooth root, which then receives a crown. This procedure requires some healing time, but the process is so well tolerated, that once healed, you may forget they’re there.
Gum Contouring
Gum contouring is the process of shaping the gums. This can help correct excess gums, uneven gums, or shape the gumline in other ways. It can improve symmetry, help the teeth appear longer, or can fix a smile that includes a lot of gums.
