Just what does the term "natural dental restorations" mean? In order to answer that question, we need to engage in a conversation about cosmetic dentistry and aesthetic dentistry. Our Seattle dentist provides only the most natural dental work - work that makes a smile that belongs to you. By choosing Kim Okamura DDS, you're choosing a new smile that doesn't come across as anything other than your natural teeth.
Cosmetic Dentist vs Aesthetic Dentist
Cosmetic dentistry is the long-held and long-understood term for work that changes the appearance of your smile. While we often use the term "cosmetic" to refer to work that is actually aesthetic in nature, this is because "cosmetic" is the word understood by most patients.
We're looking to change that with a discussion of aesthetic dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry changes your smile, but does so in a standard way. This means your teeth will be bright white, perfectly rectangular, and completely symmetrical - a "perfect smile" to some, but also the cliche Hollywood smile. That smile can look great, but it doesn't look like it's yours. Aesthetic dental work restores and remakes a smile in the way that is best suited to your features, needs, and personal preferences. In this way, a smile transformed with aesthetic dental work looks completely natural.
