The face is the most recognizable aspect of a person. The mouth, consisting of the lips, cheeks, jaws, teeth, and gums, makes up the lower part of the face. Cosmetic (or aesthetic) dentistry exists to give high positives to the quality of life for those people who need it.

Cosmetic dentistry may be classed as skeletal or dental. Skeletal dentistry can be accomplished through the use of oral surgery, which changes the placement of the jaws. Dental manipulations is achieved by either adding to, taking away from, or moving the actual teeth. The favoured materials to add to teeth to change their appearance are bonding, a tooth-coloured plastic, or porcelain, a sort of ceramic. Detracting from tooth structure is accomplished by the use of a drill. If there is only a small area of a tooth is extracted, it is just sculpting or reshaping, and nothing is then added. If a more substantial area of tooth is extracted, then porcelain can be added in a new place. Moving teeth is accomplished with using braces, which are either fixed or removable.

Reconstructive dentistry
Reconstructive dentistry involves any major reforming of the mouth, usually by porcelain and metal. Reconstructive dentistry is often wanted by individuals who have numerous severe cavities, have generalized dangerous gum disease, or may have been in an accident. Reconstructive dentistry frequently consists of a combination of each of the dental specialties; patients could need numerous crowns (caps), gum therapy, root canal therapy, braces, or oral surgery, and dental implants.

Reconstructions are planned to at the first instance deter the furthering of active disease and then to repair the damage. Mental parts of treatment, like fear, are frequently expected, and the dentist would ideally be caring and have an understanding of psychology. Serious possible sources of postoperative pain are generally eliminated early during treatment by way of a root canal therapy when required. The placing of final porcelain bridges usually starts 6 to 12 weeks after the accomplishment of the such surgery. It is critical for a patient to know that reconstructed teeth require regular cleanings and maintenance.

Implant dentistry
A dental implant is a replication of a tooth root. It is placed to secure artificial teeth to the existing jawbone. Dental implants can be analogized as screws, and the jawbone might be the imaginary a piece of wood. Like this imagining, a screw may be inserted at half its length into a piece of wood, then an artificial tooth would be stuck to the exposed area of the screw projecting above the wood. The tooth should be strongly connected to the screw, which itself would be firmly anchored in the wood. A single dental implant is created for one removed tooth. Four to eight dental implants can be placed in a jaw that is missing most of or all of the teeth.

Dental implants should only be served in an amount of bone that is infection free. In other circumstances surgical procedures are first necessary either to extract existing disease or to fabricate extra bone for implantations, for example bone ridge augmentation or nasal sinus elevation. The surgery to place dental implants themselves is similar to that of tooth extraction.

Dental implant reconstructions will require 6 to 12 months to complete, for the most part due to the healing time taken from each of the surgeries. Knowing bone is living tissue, it needs time to accede favourably to the biocompatible titanium implants. The biophysics of the early cellular response of the hard (bone) and soft (skin and ligament) tissues to dental implantation is an area of hot research and opinion. The positives of this level of research carry over to orthopedics for example, with replacing spinal rods and healing of intricate broken bones, both of which require screws for immediate immobilization.

Implant dentistry has developed into a highly common treatment way for the average patient.
