Consultation - aesthetic medicine in dentistry

Aesthetic medicine

What is aesthetic medicine?

Aesthetic medicine in dentistry includes various types of procedures aimed at improving the appearance of the skin, face and complexion. This is usually made in order to rejuvenate the skin and it includes, among others, smoothing, making it glow, improving its elasticity, getting rid of dark spots, as well as its general regeneration.

Aesthetic medicine is more and more often a natural complementary treatment to dental treatment. At the end of orthodontic or prosthetic treatment, it’s a good idea for the patient to complete the makeover with treatments improving the face shape, the skin condition or the shape of the smile.

Thanks to aesthetic medicine, the patient may get rid of wrinkles or creases that have arisen due to misaligned teeth before orthodontic treatment. The culmination of prosthetic makeover may be the lip contour improvement. And when it comes to people struggling with bruxism (teeth grinding), the doctor may help them by performing the procedure with the use of botulinum toxin.

Aesthetic medicine - why choose a dentist?

You need to remember that professional treatments, in order to be safe, should be performed by a qualified doctor. Only in this way the patient can be sure that the results of the performed procedures will be as expected. Dentists dealing with aesthetic medicine procedures are the right choice for everyone who wants to undergo a makeover in comfortable and safe conditions. They know best the structure of facial muscles and tissues. They also know how individual treatments can affect the patient’s skin condition and the appearance – both of the smile itself and the whole face
