“The abiding goal in aesthetic dentistry is always to improve form and function of teeth to attain a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing smile,” says Dr Mo Ismail, Implant and Aesthetic Dentist at Allsmiles Dentists.
Dentistry has evolved dramatically since the days of silver fillings, metal crowns and plastic false teeth. Social media continues to make a significant impact on aesthetic dentistry. Facebook, Instagram and TikTok put everyone – not just celebrities – in the spotlight. A beautiful smile takes centre stage in a person’s quest for the perfect photo or video. This means that a clean and healthy smile is no longer an accessory but the most important item in anyone’s wardrobe. A bright, white, glowing smile radiates youthfulness, health and beauty and can help one achieve the perfect selfie. According to Dr Ismail, the most frequently requested procedures are teeth whitening, veneers, clear orthodontic aligners, braces, bonding, and dental implants.
