Did you know that the shape, shade, length and spacing of your teeth could
significantly affect your smile? And our smiles can greatly affect our
self-esteem and confidence. Common conditions that impact negatively on your
smile include broken, cracked or worn teeth, discolored teeth, missing teeth,
crooked teeth, decayed teeth, gaps between your teeth and/or "gummy smiles."
The good news is that with modern technology and improved materials, these
situations can be dramatically changed to create natural looking and
long-lasting beautiful smiles.
Each patient and each specific circumstance must be evaluated on its own merits.
Factors such as occlusion [bite], oral habits, available space, health of the
gum tissue, severity of the problem and patient expectation must be taken into
consideration while planning your cosmetic makeover.
Depending on the situation, there are a variety of choices that all result in
excellent esthetic outcomes. For whiter natural teeth, in-office or at-home
bleaching [whitening] techniques are available. Repairing teeth or closing
spaces may be accomplished with tooth-colored composite resin bonding,
porcelain veneers or porcelain crowns.
These procedures vary in time and cost and have differences in longevity and
appearance. If you're not satisfied with your smile or want to learn if you're
a good candidate for any of these remarkable techniques, call our office for a
cosmetic consultation.
