Recent advances in cosmetic dentistry: A review

Abstract

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on enhancing the appearance of teeth, gums, and bite through a multidisciplinary approach involving surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, and restorative techniques. Therefore, it is of interest to review recent innovations, including digital imaging, composite materials, robotic-assisted procedures, and advanced orthodontic systems. Key advancements were noted in teeth whitening, veneers, implants, bonding, and gum contouring. These developments are set to further improve clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and accessibility in cosmetic dental care.
