Dr. Wood on Cosmetic Dentistry: Understanding the Difference
I often get asked about the difference between cosmetic and general dentistry. One of the key distinctions is the focus on facial aesthetics along with the teeth. There are two aspects to consider:
Macro Aesthetics: This involves your facial expressions, muscles, and how everything works together.
Micro Aesthetics: This is focused on your teeth and gums.
The primary difference between cosmetic and general dentistry is achieving an ideal outcome for both the patient and myself as the dentist. Our goal is to align with your personal dental objectives.
Cosmetic dentistry excels in blending both art and science to find the perfect result that satisfies both you and the doctor. This approach includes considering facial expressions, shade matching, contour, and specific lines on the teeth to ensure a natural look and meet your expectations.
Some of the positive impacts of cosmetic dentistry on a patient’s life include:
- Enhanced everyday self-confidence and self-esteem.
- Improved perception by others and increased happiness in starting their day.
- Restoration of teeth that may have been deteriorating, thus stabilizing, strengthening, and providing a long-term outcome.
Overall, cosmetic dentistry plays a significant role in helping patients achieve the results they desire, whether it’s for internal satisfaction or external appearance. At the end of the day, our aim is to provide you with the perfect smile.

Understanding the Art and Science of Cosmetic Dentistry: Transforming Smiles in Grand Junction
Welcome to Grand Dental, your trusted dental care provider in Grand Junction, CO. Today, we’re diving into an exciting and transformative aspect of dental care: cosmetic dentistry. Often, we’re asked about the difference between cosmetic and general dentistry. This blog post aims to shed light on this topic, helping you understand how cosmetic dentistry can not only enhance your smile but also boost your confidence and overall well-being.
Understanding Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is an art form that blends science and aesthetics to create stunning, natural-looking smiles. Unlike general dentistry, which focuses on the health and functionality of your teeth, cosmetic dentistry emphasizes the appearance of your smile. It’s not just about fixing dental issues; it’s about creating a smile that complements your facial features and enhances your natural beauty.
The Two Aspects of Aesthetics in Dentistry
Macro-Aesthetics: This involves looking at your facial expressions, muscle movements, and overall facial structure. It’s about how your smile fits into the broader context of your face and how it enhances your expressions.
Micro-Aesthetics: This focuses on the finer details of your teeth and gums. It includes aspects like shade matching, contouring, and aligning specific lines on your teeth to make them look as natural and appealing as possible.
The Grand Dental Approach
At Grand Dental, we believe in a personalized approach to cosmetic dentistry. We understand that each patient has unique needs and aesthetic goals. Our process involves:

Customized Treatment Plans: Based on your goals, we create a tailored treatment plan. This may include procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, or orthodontics.
Focus on Natural Results: Our aim is to enhance your smile while maintaining a natural look. We pay close attention to the shape, color, and alignment of your teeth, ensuring they complement your overall facial aesthetics.
Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry
Boosted Self-Confidence: A beautiful smile can significantly impact your self-esteem. It can make you feel more confident in social and professional settings.
Improved Oral Health: While cosmetic dentistry focuses on aesthetics, it also contributes to better oral health. Procedures like fixing broken teeth or correcting misalignments can improve your bite and prevent future dental issues.
Long-Term Durability: Modern cosmetic dental treatments are designed to be long-lasting. With proper care, the results of your cosmetic dental treatment can last for many years.
Positive Psychological Impact: A great smile can positively affect your mental health. It can lead to increased happiness and a more positive outlook on life.
