Cosmetic Dentistry Trends to Watch in 2023

In Cosmetic December 21, 2022

Stunning smiles, new products, and innovative procedures? 2023 is just around the corner, and we’re excited to see what it brings, including the latest trends and technologies in cosmetic dentistry.

So just what can we expect when it comes to the latest developments in cosmetic dentistry? Here are some trends we think you’ll want to keep an eye on in the coming year.

Cosmetic Dentistry is Increasing in Popularity

The number of dental visits scheduled is expected to increase in 2023, and that includes visits focused on cosmetic dentistry. Many people postponed or skipped dental care and procedures during the pandemic. These delays have caught up to people, and now patients are quickly getting in line to get the treatments they need.

This could lead to more patients and longer wait times in 2023, so if you’re considering a cosmetic procedure, it would be wise to schedule it sooner rather than later.

Emotional Dentistry

What is emotional dentistry? This new trend revolves around the idea that patients have a strong emotional experience when getting dental care and that choices like cosmetic dental care may affect overall mental health. We already know that smiling alone can affect your quality of life, and improved confidence in one’s smile and overall appearance can have a significant impact on your happiness as well. With this in mind, emotional dentistry uses tools to model a patient’s post-care appearance so they can best decide on the results that appeal to them.

Laser Dentistry

Laser technology has driven various innovations in surgical care and healthcare as a whole, allowing for more efficient treatment, greater comfort, and faster recovery. Lasers bring similar benefits to cosmetic and restorative dentistry. Lasers allow cosmetic and restorative procedures to be performed with minimal or no standard drills. This technology eases cosmetic dentistry stress and directly benefits the patient.

3D Printing for Cosmetic Dentistry

3D printing technology continues to evolve, and that includes printed solutions for cosmetic dental repairs. 3D printing offers the opportunity to get the precise fit for crowns, implants, aligners, and more with exact scans and a wider range of printable materials than ever before.

Cosmetic Dentistry Trends on the Horizon

Cosmetic dentistry is poised to take off in 2023. As patients emerge from pandemic restrictions, they have begun scheduling repairs and procedures to achieve their dream smiles. This means a potential increase in wait times and lines. As patients return, many will be greeted by new emotional dentistry tools which help maximize your comfort, boost your quality of life, and visualize the impacts of rejuvenating your smile. Laser technology will help ease the process of removing damage and decay while 3D printed solutions help create precisely-tailored prostheses to restore that perfect smile.

Testimonials

Dr. Pescastore,

I just had to take a minute to let you know how much me and my family appreciate everything you have done for us. When we met in 2001 I was honestly anxious about the work I needed to have done. I was nervous about the results and also about the potential pain it might take to achieve the smile I wanted. You were so thorough in your evaluation of my extensive dental history and so clear in your explanation of the procedures required that I felt confident to take your recommendations and trust my smile to you. I have never regretted that decision. I am so grateful for the way you and your wonderful staff made every appointment as easy and comfortable as it could possibly have been. I was always happy to be going there knowing I would be treated so well and love the results. I still feel the same way, and look forward to my appointments with you and your caring staff. I really enjoy the spa like feeling and always leave there more relaxed than when I arrived. My friends are always surprised to learn that I look forward to my dentist appointments as they are lamenting about theirs.

I am especially grateful for the way you have treated my daughters. They too had many dentists before you and were nervous about going to the dentist. Thanks to you and Stacey and the rest of your wonderful staff they now share my feeling about going to the dentist and are happy to be there. Brooke is so afraid of needles that even at seventeen years old she still cries if she thinks she might get a shot at the doctors office. She was very nervous before her first appointment with you, in spite of mine and her sisters assurance that it really wouldn't hurt. Thank you for proving us right. Now even Brooke is not afraid to go to the dentist. I also want you to know how grateful I am for the emergency care you gave Sadie when she chipped her front tooth. I really appreciate you changing your own plans for the day to help her. She was so upset about the way her tooth looked that she cried all the way to your office. She, like me, left your office that day feeling great about herself and her smile. You have really made a positive difference in our lives and we are all so grateful to you for it. We all look forward to seeing you and your great team for our future dental needs.

With Great Respect and Many Thanks,

Pennie Gaddis

I look back at old photographs and realize I spent years hiding teeth. I had braces in my 30s and made the mistake of having my orthodontist apply veneers to my discolored, misshapen teeth. I was his first veneers patient, and I learned that when you're having cosmetic dentistry done, you should have a cosmetic dentist do it. When I decided to have those veneers replaced, I found an expert Dr. Pescatore. In fact, it was just a few weeks before my wedding that I asked Dr. Pescatore to do my smile makeover. I trusted him completely and knew from my first appointment that I was in good hands. He impressed me with his concern that my veneers look natural, and they do. My smile is huge in my wedding pictures, not only because I had a new husband but also because I had fabulous new teeth! I'm grateful to Dr. Pescatore and his caring, attentive staff for what they did for me. I finally have the smile I'd always wanted.
