Smile symmetry can have a big impact on your overall confidence in the way you look. Unfortunately, this is something that can be easily disturbed by relatively minor issues. Visible alignment issues can impact your confidence by leaving you with a noticeable gap or overlap between teeth. You could also have problems with a chipped or misshapen tooth that draws unwanted attention. While these problems can hurt your confidence, know that they can be addressed by your dentist in order to make your smile look more symmetrical. At our Rochester, MN dentist’s office, we are able to restore the look of teeth that are misshapen, dull, or even poorly aligned. If necessary, we can even take on troubles with teeth that require oral health support as well as cosmetic improvement.
Different Issues That Make A Smile Seem Asymmetrical
So why do you feel that your smile looks asymmetrical? Sometimes, a single flawed tooth is responsible for this concern. An otherwise stunning smile can be marred by that one tooth that looks out of placed because it is recessed, uneven, or the wrong size. Issues with poor alignment between multiple teeth can also be disruptive. As we review your smile, we can speak to you about the outcomes different procedures can provide, and also look into the most conservative treatment options that may help.
Arranging A Cosmetic Procedure To Restore The Shape And Size Of Teeth
If there are certain teeth that stand out when you smile, targeted cosmetic services can offer remarkable changes with relatively conservative work. Dental veneers are custom shells that your dentist will bond to the fronts of teeth that look unattractive. With the right restoration, we can cover up problems with misshapen teeth, hide a gap or overlap, and address discoloration. Bonding procedures are even more conservative – while veneers require the placement of relatively small restorations, a bonding procedure does away with the need for restorations completely. What we use instead is a composite resin material to change the shape, size, and color of teeth.
Will A Dental Crown Be Necessary To Restore A Misshapen Tooth?
Because cosmetic treatments require less work on your tooth structure, they can be preferred when making changes to the way you look. With that said, some problems with your appearance also affect your oral health. If your bite function is impacted by the shape or size of a tooth, we may recommend having a dental crown placed. Because we have CEREC technology in our office, we can actually go through every step of the placement procedure in one appointment!
