Is Your Tooth Misshapen? A Cosmetic Procedure Can Help

Problems with tooth color and dental damage often make people interested in cosmetic dentistry. These are issues that can cause you to lose confidence in a smile that you once flashed with pride. While our Shrewsbury, MA dentist is happy to take these issues on, we can also address concerns around naturally occurring flaws like problems with tooth shape. Misshapen teeth can make your smile look uneven and asymmetrical, and in some cases they can even interfere with your ability to bite and chew. More than one cosmetic procedure is able to restore the shape, size, and color of a flawed tooth, which can make sure you have no more concerns about your smile after your work is complete.

Are You A Good Candidate For Cosmetic Treatment?

Cosmetic services are effective at restoring the appearance of teeth that are healthy but look unattractive. They can be recommended when individuals are bothered by problems with teeth stains or internal tooth discoloration, issues with wear and tear or injury, and concerns around teeth that are the wrong shape or size for your smile. At an evaluation, your dentist can determine if a cosmetic treatment is right for you, or if necessary discuss the benefits of another treatment approach.

Arranging Your Cosmetic Treatment

After we evaluate your tooth concerns, we can make a plan to fully restore your smile by correcting problems. For misshapen teeth, there are several potential procedures that can help, including:

  • A tooth bonding treatment, which makes changes by applying a composite resin substance to restore a tooth’s shape, size, and color
  • Tooth contouring, where your dentist can reduce the size of a larger tooth or change the shape of one that is jagged or uneven
  • Porcelain veneer placement, which caps the fronts of teeth to change their appearance

Why We Might Suggest Capping Your Tooth With A Dental Crown

It is sometimes necessary to deal with misshapen teeth by capping them with dental crowns. Your dentist will recommend this service if your tooth’s flaws affect your ability to bite and chew. Problems like these can lead to more oral health problems over time, including problems with TMJ disorder. A custom crown made at our practice can actually be ready in just one appointment, making it a convenient solution for difficulties with your appearance and dental health.
