Uneven Teeth? 5 Effective Cosmetic Solutions You NEED to Know

A smile is the first thing that people notice about you. Having a healthy white bright smile can boost your self-confidence and can be a valuable asset.

Since teeth are an important component of smile, a smile of a person having even, symmetrical teeth appear harmonious. On the other hand, the smile of people with broken uneven, crowded or chipped teeth does not appear that aesthetic.

There are very few who are born with even perfect appearing teeth. This does not mean that if you do not have an even teeth, you cannot get one. Cosmetic Dentistry solutions can help you achieve the smile of your dreams very easily.

There are a number of different cosmetic dental treatment solutions available depending on the severity of the problem, age of the patient and the results desired.

1. Cosmetic Contouring of teeth

   Teeth contouring is the least invasive of all the treatments. It involves very minor reshaping of the tooth. It is done in cases of minor chips or tooth attrition.

2. Orthodontic treatment of teeth

   For people with uneven or irregular arrangement of teeth, Orthodontic treatment can be a good option. This treatment modality helps to move the natural teeth in the desired positions. This was traditionally accomplished by the use of fixed dental braces but lately Clear Aligners are gaining popularity. These clear aligners are very thin, plastic trays that are removable and almost invisible. They are to be worn 20-22 hours daily and they accomplish the desired results.

3. Cosmetic Dental/Composite Bonding

   Dental Bonding is a form of repair of teeth. This cosmetic dental procedure involves application of tooth colored resins on the surface of the tooth and then sculpting it into the desired shape. This can be used to cover small gaps in between teeth, repair some broken or chipped teeth and also to give a desired shape to the tooth. This treatment modality has a disadvantage that the resins tends to stain/discolor with time.

4. Veneers

   Tooth veneers is a highly popular treatment modality opted for to achieve the desired tooth color and to a smaller extent correct tooth alignment also. Veneers are of 2 types- Porcelain Veneers and composite veneers. Porcelain veneers are made of ceramic and bonded to the tooth surface. Some tooth reduction of the front surface is needed for proper seating of the veneer. Composite veneers are made of tooth colored resins and sculpted to desired shape.

5. Dental Crowns

   For those with badly damaged, discolored or decayed teeth, Dental crowns offers the most favorable treatment solution. No doubt the complete teeth needs to be properly reshaped for dental crowns but complete correction of tooth color, form and alignment can be achieved.

The best treatment option suitable to you can be best determined by a thorough patient examination and discussion with the patient. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Garg’s Multispeciality Dental Center today to discuss your options and achieve your dream smile!
