Not exactly. While some patients seeking cosmetic dentistry require full-mouth rehabilitation, many patients do not. If your bite is stable and sound, cosmetic dentistry may be an option, usually focusing on appearance, while full-mouth rehabilitation also addresses function, stability, comfort, bite forces, and tooth wear. Esthetics may be part of the plan, but the goal is not just a nicer-looking smile. The goal is a healthy, comfortable, maintainable result.
