Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry
Question: Can you help address a “gummy” smile?
Answer: Yes. Gum contouring is designed to reshape the gums and remove excessive gingival tissue. Otherwise, uneven gum tissue can make teeth appear small or misaligned. The Electrosurge unit we employ uses a gentle electric current to remove tissue without the use of a scalpel. The system also reduces the risk of infection and bleeding once treatment is complete.
Question: What if my teeth are stained?
Answer: If you have discoloration on your teeth we can use professional teeth whitening to brighten your smile. We have in-office and at-home whitening systems; you choose one or use a combination of both to help erase teeth stains. The option we recommend will depend on the cause and severity of your discoloration.
Question: Can you fix a chipped tooth?
Answer: Yes. We can use dental bonding to restore missing tooth structure in a single visit, employing the same lifelike material as our metal-free fillings. We can also use contouring in the same visit to reshape teeth, dull overly pointed teeth, and remove surface issues (pits, grooves) on the teeth.
Question: What if I have gaps between my teeth?
Answer: If you have gaps between your teeth we have several options available. We can use dental bonding to close the gaps in a single visit. We can also place porcelain veneers to mask gaps between teeth. If your gaps are related to misalignment, we can correct your uneven smile with orthodontic treatment.
