The face is the most recognizable aspect of a body. The mouth, which includes the lips, cheeks, jaws, teeth, and gums, is the lowest area of the face. Cosmetic (or aesthetic) dentistry can provide profound benefits to the quality of life for some people who want it.

Cosmetic dentistry is generally typified as skeletal or dental. Skeletal dentistry are generally done through the use of oral surgery, which changes the position of the jaws. Dental structure can be done in either adding to, taking out, or shifting the teeth alone. The most commonly used materials to add to teeth to change their appearance are bonding, a tooth-coloured plastic, or porcelain, a sort of ceramic. Eliminating tooth structure is accomplished by a drill. If there is a small extract of the tooth is taken off, it is simply sculpting or reshaping, and nothing new is then added. If a large substance of tooth is taken out, then porcelain can be added in a new location. Shifting teeth is achieved by using braces, which are either fixed or removable.

Reconstructive dentistry
Reconstructive dentistry is any significant reforming of the mouth, usually by using porcelain and metal. Reconstructive dentistry is required by those people who have had many dangerous cavities, have generalized dangerous gum disease, or have been in an accident. Reconstructive dentistry frequently consists of a combination of all the dental specialties; individuals may require several crowns (caps), gum therapy, root canal therapy, braces, or oral surgery, including dental implants.

Reconstructions are planned to first stop the furthering of existing disease and then to fix the damage. Mental elements of treatment, such as fear, are very often incurred, and a dentist would ideally be empathetic and bring an understanding of psychology. Major likely causes of postoperative pain are usually taken out early during the treatment by performing a root canal therapy when possible. The placing of final porcelain bridges frequently begins 6 to 12 weeks following the finalisation of the such surgery. It is essential for the patient to appreciate that reconstructed teeth require regular cleanings and maintenance.

Implant dentistry
A dental implant is an artifically replicated tooth root. It is placed to connect artificial teeth to the underlying jawbone. Dental implants should be imagined as screws, and the jawbone could be visualized a piece of wood. Like this analogy, a screw would be turned at half its length into a piece of wood, then an artificial tooth would be secured to the remaining of the screw projecting above the wood. The tooth should be strongly connected to the screw, which of course should be securely held in the wood. A single dental implant may be employed for a single missing tooth. Four to eight dental implants might be given in a jaw that is missing all the teeth.

Dental implants should only be placed in a satisfactory amount of bone that has no disease. Occasionally surgical procedures are required before either to clean out existing disease or to fabricate additional bone for implantations, for example bone ridge augmentation or nasal sinus elevation. The surgery to put in dental implants themselves is rather like that of tooth removal.

Dental implant reconstructions generally take between 6 to 12 months to achieve, mostly due to the healing time demanded from each of the surgeries. Knowing bone is living tissue, it needs time to adapt easily to the biocompatible titanium implants. The biophysics of the early cellular response of the hard (bone) and soft (skin and ligament) tissues to dental implantation is an area of hot research and view. The high points of this research carry over to orthopedics for example, with replacing spinal rods and the healing of badly broken bones, both of which need screws for effective immobilization.

Implant dentistry has moved into a highly simple treatment scheme for the average people.
