What’s the difference between a restorative and a cosmetic dentist?
• Every dentist is a “general” or “restorative” dentist. From there on, it’s about specialization. Many dentists refer to themselves as “cosmetic” dentists, but the key to discovering the reality of that statement is their credentials. Look for a membership in the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) and ask to see “before-and-after” pictures during your initial consultation.
