In recent years, cosmetic dentistry has absolutely exploded in popularity. Whether on TV or social media, there are more smiles than ever that have been improved with the help of cosmetic treatments, which has led the average person to wonder whether these procedures could also work for them.
With all the buzz around these procedures, you might rightfully wonder what it is that has made them so celebrated in recent years. Here’s are a few reasons that’s the case.
Better Results Than Ever
It can be easy to think that cosmetic dentistry has been around for a long time, and to some extent it has in one way or another. However, many of the most common cosmetic treatments weren’t commercially available until the late 20th century, 40-50 years ago at the latest.
In the grand scheme of things, veneers and dental bonding as we know them today are relatively recent inventions. This means that people are now able to get better results from cosmetic dental treatment than ever before, leading to a massive rise in the overall popularity of these procedures.
Greater Affordability
One of the main things that kept the average person from getting cosmetic dentistry for a long time was the cost of the treatments. Many of the most popular cosmetic treatments were designed with celebrities in mind; veneers, for example, were designed to be worn by Hollywood actors on camera.
In recent years, however, advancements in the technology surrounding cosmetic dentistry has made these treatments much more affordable for patients of all kinds. Now, more people than ever are finding cosmetic dental treatments that will not only give them results, but fit their budget.
Better Dental Health Standards
One of the distinguishing features of cosmetic dentistry is that patients need to have fairly good oral health before pursuing these treatments. In recent years, advances in dental education and technology has led to better oral health outcomes for the average patient, meaning that even more people are capable of pursuing cosmetic treatment as opposed to just restorative care.
