The history of aesthetic dentistry goes back centuries, to the times of primitive people: our ancient ancestors filed teeth with a file, giving them an exquisite pointed shape. And the standard of beauty among some tribes of Madagascar and New Guinea is still considered to be sawn down, in order to increase the aesthetics of a smile, almost to the root of the fangs.

The tasks of modern aesthetic cosmetology include the restoration of the natural, natural beauty of teeth. Therefore, the range of problems solved by aesthetic dentistry includes: dental prosthetics, teeth whitening and decoration, alignment of individual teeth or the entire dentition.
Restoration of teeth lost due to trauma or disease is often called artistic restoration or prosthetics. During restoration, using artificial materials, the normal structure of a natural tooth is imitated. Moreover, the tooth is in harmony with the rest of the teeth of the entire dentition. The color and shape of the tooth, the texture of its surface, and the degree of transparency are carefully selected. Restorative procedures include both complete prosthetics of one or more teeth, and restoration of a part of the tooth.
If the restoration of the integrity of the dentition is in most cases a necessity, then such a popular direction of aesthetic dentistry as dental decoration is just a fashionable trend. Sometimes the dentist uses jewelry to mask a dark stain or damage to a tooth. However, more often than not, decorating teeth with Swarovski crystals or inlaid teeth with precious metals is a tribute to fashion. Attachment of jewelry to teeth is performed using transparent, durable, but safe for the human body glue.
Correction of bite and alignment of crooked teeth also belongs to the aesthetic dentistry industry, although it is performed by orthodontists. Correction of the dentition and elimination of occlusion defects are most effective in childhood. Nevertheless, a number of aesthetic cosmetology techniques make it possible to correct dentition defects even in adults.
