What is a Cosmetic Dentist?

Cosmetic Dentistry is not a recognized Dental Specialty, although many Dentists market themselves as “cosmetic dentists”.   There is no such thing as a cosmetic dentist, there are only dentists and dental specialists like Oral Surgeons.  Any licensed dentist can provide cosmetic dentistry, such as veneers, just as well as those who market themselves as “cosmetic dentists”.  We constantly get the question “Do you do cosmetic dentistry?” from people, like it is some top secret special field of dentistry.  This is a function of the powerful marketing machine we are surrounded by every day.  We do not limit our practice to cosmetic dentistry, because we strive to provide all the services our patient’s need under one roof up to the highest standards. We can provide the service just as well as the dentist on the billboard or tv that has convinced everyone he or she is a “cosmetic dentist.”
