Aesthetic Concerns (Dental & Smile Appearance)
About the disease & condition
Aesthetic dental concerns relate to the appearance of teeth and smile, which can affect confidence, self-esteem, and social interactions. These concerns may involve tooth color, shape, alignment, spacing, or missing teeth. While primarily cosmetic, untreated aesthetic issues can sometimes indicate underlying dental problems that may impact oral health over time. Early evaluation and personalized cosmetic dental treatments help restore a natural, confident smile and support long-term oral well-being.
