increased public demand for treatment.
Cosmetic dentistry has also attracted
unwarranted criticism from within the dental
profession. Often seen as separate from
general dentistry, with different agendas and
goals, cosmetic dentists are disparaged for
choosing style over substance - but this is
simply not the case.
The true purpose of cosmetic dentistry is
to provide excellent general dentistry to a
high aesthetic standard - in line with the
desires and expectations of the public.
Indeed, general procedures, such as fillings,
crowns, bridges and dentures should be (and
certainly can be) made to an exemplary
standard of cosmetic aestheticism. What's
more, many cosmetic procedures have
prominent palliative functions; for example,
cosmetic orthodontics can help with
masticatory or speech impediments, as well
as resolving occlusal issues which have a
demonstrable link with temporomandibular
joint disorders. The psychological benefits of
tooth whitening or implant therapy are also
indisputable, giving patients a rejuvenated
sense of self-confidence.
It is therefore imperative to improve not
just the public's knowledge of cosmetic
treatments, but also the profession's
understanding of the aims of this field. By
doing so, a safer, more homogenous service
can be provided by all.
This is one of the core principles of the
British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
(BACD). Not only does the Academy strive
to give its members the most up-to-date
information and educational opportunities
available, it also works hard to improve the
profession's perception of the field. With its
flagship event, the Annual Conference,
offering some of the finest hands-on sessions
and lectures in the country, the BACD is an
exceptional professional organisation that
seeks to facilitate the provision of better
cosmetic dentistry.
The demand for cosmetic dental work will
undoubtedly increase further in the future.
To ensure you are providing the best
treatments safely and lawfully, be sure to
contact the BACD today.
