Cosmetic & Aesthetic Dentistry

Overview

Cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry involves enhancing the appearance of teeth and smile while preserving natural function and oral health. The goal is not just to improve how the smile looks, but to ensure that it remains balanced, comfortable, and in harmony with facial features.

At Mukherjee Dental Clinic, aesthetic treatments are planned with attention to detail, ensuring that results are natural, proportionate, and suited to each individual.

When is it needed 

Cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry may be considered in the following situations:

• Discoloured or stained teeth

• Chipped, uneven, or worn teeth

• Gaps between teeth

• Mild misalignment

• Irregular tooth shape or size

• Desire to improve overall smile appearance

Each case is evaluated to determine the most suitable and conservative treatment approach.

Treatment approach

1. Smile assessment
Evaluation of teeth, gums, facial proportions, and smile line.
