Because the job performed is much more complex. For example, what should be cheaper re-doing the painting in a dented car or fixing its engine? Same thing with dentistry and cosmetic professionals. Having a cavity here and there being fixed and having your whole mouth in braces to make them look decent again is completely different. Having your teeth white and so on can also be compared to the things done by a cosmetic surgeon versus a dermatologist. Dermatologists can make your skin pretty but only the cosmetic surgeon will be able to lift your boobs. I know the comparisons are a little different but you can get my drift.

Cosmetic dentistry also known as smile enhancement from my personal understanding is the dental process which involves making a positive change to a person's teeth and smile. This process is mainly carried out not only for correctional purposes,  but also for enhancing a person's smile and looks in general. It involves cosmetic procedures which ranges from a basic color correction, gaps closing to missing teeth replacement.
Regular dentitistry is the usual oral care check ups everyone is familiar with. It's the process which involves treatment and maintenance of dental health to balance the relationship between the teeth and oral health to the entire body.
If you draw a parallel between both dentistry procedures stated above, you'd realize that the earlier is a more sophisticated process which involves more complicated procedures. And just like every other cosmetic procedures, this one is also carried out by specialist. It's only normal for procedures like this to cost more money as it involves operations which are not as simple as the usual dental health checks.

Cosmetic dentistry is more expensive than regular dentistry because it involves more complex procedures and materials. Cosmetic procedures such as veneers, tooth bleaching, and dental bridges require more work, time, and specialized materials than regular dental procedures. In addition, cosmetic dentists often use higher-quality materials that are designed to last longer and provide better aesthetic results than regular dental materials.

Cosmetic dentistry involves specialized techniques and materials to enhance the appearance of teeth, which can be more costly than routine dental care. It may also require additional training and expertise on the part of the dentist.

Cosmetic dentistry is often more expensive than regular dentistry because it typically involves more complex and specialized procedures that require advanced training, specialized equipment, and high-quality materials. Additionally, the results of cosmetic dentistry are often focused on enhancing the appearance of the teeth and smile rather than just treating dental health issues, which may not be considered as necessary as regular dental care.

Some examples of cosmetic dentistry procedures that are typically more expensive than regular dentistry include:

Teeth whitening: While over-the-counter teeth whitening products are available, professional teeth whitening procedures performed by a dentist or dental hygienist tend to be more effective and can involve the use of high-quality materials and equipment.

Veneers: Veneers are thin shells made of porcelain or composite resin that are placed over the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance. The process involves customizing the veneers to fit each individual's teeth, which requires specialized skills and materials.

Dental implants: Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth, involving the placement of a metal post in the jawbone to serve as a root for a replacement tooth. The process can involve multiple appointments, advanced surgical skills, and high-quality materials.

It's worth noting that the cost of cosmetic dentistry can vary depending on a range of factors, including the location of the dental practice, the experience and qualifications of the dentist, the type of procedure, and the materials used
