Cork City Dental

General dentistry focuses on the overall oral health care of patients. It involves the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and mouth. General dentists provide services such as cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, and preventive education, aiming to maintain or improve oral hygiene and prevent dental diseases. They also assess patients' oral health and refer them to specialists when more advanced care is needed.

Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. It includes a range of treatments such as teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, and dental implants, all designed to enhance aesthetics. Unlike general dentistry, which addresses oral health, cosmetic dentistry is primarily concerned with improving the visual appeal of teeth by correcting issues like discoloration, misalignment, gaps, or damaged teeth.
