Aesthetic dentistry is an area that is increasingly in demand, so having highly qualified training, such as the one we present in this Advanced master’s degree, is a unique opportunity to be among the best" 

There is an increasing demand for highly qualified and experienced cosmetic dentists. Nowadays, patients not only come to the dental office when they have an oral problem that may become a disease, but also to improve those physical aspects in their mouth or teeth that they do not like.

Aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry is a specialty of dentistry that solves problems related to oral health and the aesthetic harmony of the mouth as a whole. Aesthetic dentistry can be defined as an application of art and science aimed at developing or highlighting beauty in the form of a smile.

The growing demand from patients for increasingly complex, less invasive, and more demanding treatments in terms of the final result increasingly justifies a multidisciplinary execution of treatments, where each of the specialties of dentistry can contribute their point of view in search of excellence in the treatment.
