It is probably helpful, at this point, to point out that the term 'cosmetic', while it is in common use in fort lauderdale cosmetic dentistry, actually has a specific meaning. The word is derived from the Greek 'cosmetikos' meaning adornment and, strictly speaking, should be used in relationship to things that are temporary, superficial and readily reversible. Cosmetics do not alter the material on which they are placed. They have to be replaced every time one wants a particular look. Cosmetics do not damage the underlying structure on which they are placed. 'Cosmetic' would usually relate to something like lipstick or eye shadow which will temporarily alter the area on which the cosmetic is placed. Such 'cosmetics' do not adhere to the underlying tissue and if one doesn't like the appearance, it is easy to remove the cosmetic and replace it with something that is more acceptable. Obviously, cosmetic dentist fort lauderdale is a bit more permanent. While still reversible/fixable, major dental changes are no small item. Tag it:                  |
