Your smile, perfected.

Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dental care focused on improving the appearance of your teeth, gums and smile — rather than just function. It addresses tooth colour, shape, size, alignment and symmetry. Common cosmetic treatments include porcelain veneers, professional teeth whitening, composite bonding, clear aligners (Invisalign), gum contouring and complete smile makeovers. Cosmetic dentistry uses the same biological principles as general dentistry but with aesthetic priorities and premium materials.

The best way to identify the right treatment is a free smile consultation with Dr. Ameet. We photograph your smile, run AI 3D smile simulation and discuss your specific goals — whitening, alignment, shape, gum line, gaps. Based on this, we build a personalised plan that may combine multiple treatments. Often a simple combination of whitening and bonding achieves more than expected — no need for major work in many cases.

Yes. Modern cosmetic dentistry is one of the safest branches of dental care when performed by experienced clinicians. Treatments like veneers, bonding and whitening have been refined over decades. Dr. Ameet is an AIIMS gold-medallist with 22+ years experience, advanced training from the University of Miami and University of Toronto, and a 5.0 Google rating across 600+ reviews. Premium materials (IPS e.max, Philips Zoom!) carry global safety certifications.

Longevity varies by treatment. Porcelain veneers (IPS e.max) last 15-20+ years. Composite bonding typically lasts 5-8 years before needing polishing or replacement. Professional teeth whitening lasts 1-3 years depending on diet and habits. Clear aligner results last a lifetime with retainers. Gum contouring is generally permanent. All porcelain work at Ark Dental Global carries a lifetime aesthetic guarantee on workmanship.

Yes — every cosmetic patient receives a free AI 3D Smile Design simulation before any treatment begins. Using high-resolution photography, 3D facial scanning and digital wax-up software, we create a photorealistic preview of your new smile in approximately 30 minutes. You can adjust shape, colour, size and gum line until you're 100% happy — then we manufacture veneers or apply bonding to match the approved design exactly.

General dentistry focuses on oral health — preventing and treating disease (cavities, gum problems, infections). Cosmetic dentistry focuses on aesthetics — improving smile appearance (colour, shape, alignment, symmetry). Many treatments overlap: a crown can be both functional (restoring a broken tooth) and cosmetic (matching colour exactly). At Ark Dental Global, every restorative treatment is performed with cosmetic-grade materials and techniques.

Treatment timelines vary widely. Teeth whitening — single 60-minute session. Composite bonding for 1-2 teeth — 60-90 minutes in one visit. Porcelain veneers — 2-3 visits over 1-2 weeks. Complete Hollywood smile makeovers (8-10 veneers) — 1-2 weeks. Clear aligners (Invisalign) — 3-18 months depending on complexity. International patients can complete most cosmetic cases in 7-10 days.

Yes — when designed and crafted correctly. The key is selecting materials with natural translucency (like IPS e.max ceramic), matching the shade carefully to your skin tone and other teeth, and respecting natural tooth proportions. Hand-finished veneers by an experienced cosmetic dentist look indistinguishable from natural teeth. AI smile simulation lets you preview the result and ensure it suits your face — avoiding the over-bright, uniform "fake smile" look.
