Cosmetic Dentistry

the complete guide to a
beautiful smile

The beautiful smile sends out self-confidence, healthy and youthfulness. A radiant smile and white teeth tell a lot about you as a person before you have been able to say a word. It communicates immediately that you care about yourself and how you look that you are healthy and kind. White teeth and a dazzling smile will give you incredible advantages both in private life as in working life.

The interest for beautiful teeth can go 4000 years back in time. In Japan it was trendy to have black teeth. The Egyptians started to use toothpaste. The archaeologists have also found a tooth implant from an old mummy.

Filed teeth could also be an ideal in other cultures

The Romans brushed their teeth with human urine (contains ammoniac). The urine from Portugal was especially popular (Very strong and smelling)

The Barbers were the first to "bleach teeth." A file was used. The teeth were at the beginning whiter, but the teeth turned discoloured very quickly, because their of lack of enamel.

The ideal is to have healthy, white and symmetric teeth
Most people want to alter their teeth's appearance. The teeth can be discoloured, crooked or to have too big space between the front teeth. Others want to correct their chipped or worn down teeth.
