How is cosmetic dentistry different in Canada than elsewhere?
In Canada, cosmetic dentistry is practised by every general dentist, so in reality every general dentist is a cosmetic dentist. However, most practices, big and small, are very busy recovering from a limited access to dentistry during the early COVID days.
A focus on oral health is a big component of any esthetically-driven dental practice.
Why is having access to cosmetic dentistry an important option for patients?
Today’s dental patient expects that all their dental care will be cosmetically enhancing and esthetically pleasing, and rightfully so. A focus on oral health is a big component of any esthetically-driven dental practice.
How have you seen this field of dentistry change due to COVID-19? In what way?
We faced many challenges due to the pandemic. We took the advice with the guidelines that were given, and our patients and staff were our top priority.
