What Is Cosmetic and General Dentistry?

Both branches of dentistry are essential — but they focus on different areas. Cosmetic and general dentistry covers a wide range of treatments to address both appearance and health. General dentistry is all about preventing, diagnosing, and treating dental issues. Regular checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, crowns, root canals, and gum disease treatments all fall under this umbrella. The goal of general care is to maintain a strong foundation of oral health throughout your life.

In contrast, cosmetic dentistry concentrates on the aesthetic aspects of your smile. Treatments like teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, smile makeovers, and dental implants are designed to improve how your teeth look.

At Levy Dental Arts, we believe that combining cosmetic and general dentistry leads to truly outstanding results. By focusing on both health and appearance, we help you achieve a smile that is not only beautiful but also built to last.

Why Patients Choose Both Cosmetic and General Dentistry

Choosing a practice that offers cosmetic and general dentistry provides patients with a more complete dental experience. Here’s why it’s beneficial to have access to both types of care under one roof:

  • Convenience: You won’t have to travel between different offices for preventive care and cosmetic treatments.
  • Continuity of Care: Seeing the same trusted team for all your dental needs builds comfort and better long-term outcomes.
  • Healthier Outcomes: Often, cosmetic treatments improve dental health too. For example, restoring broken teeth with veneers or crowns can protect them from further damage.
  • Confidence Boost: Beautiful teeth can dramatically improve your confidence and quality of life.
  • Personalized Attention: At Levy Dental Arts, your care plan is designed just for you — combining the best of cosmetic and general dentistry.

With both specialties available, we’re able to treat the root causes of problems while also offering enhancements that give you the stunning smile you’ve always wanted.
