Common Cosmetic Dental Problems

Serving Greater Southern Maine and the New Hampshire Seacoast.

Very few people are born with a perfect smile. For the majority of dental clients, genetics may actually work against them in the form of crooked teeth, discoloration, uneven sizing and spacing, and other tooth problems. Thanks to the ever-expanding techniques of cosmetic dentistry, dental professionals are able to fix nearly any tooth or gum defect you would like to see corrected. Below, we have listed some of the most common cosmetic dental issues as well as the treatments available to repair these problems.

Crooked Teeth

Teeth that are not positioned properly not only draw attention, they can be detrimental to speech and chewing, and may even cause your entire bite to be imbalanced. If you have crooked teeth on the upper or lower row, our dentists can use dental bonding or porcelain veneers to create a straight tooth appearance.

Chipped Teeth

Teeth that are chipped may become less functional and more prone to decay. With gentle bonding, tooth-colored fillings, tooth crowns, or porcelain veneers, our dentists can restore missing enamel for a flawless tooth shape.

Discolored Teeth

Discoloration can make a person very self-conscious about their smile. A simple, one-hour tooth whitening treatment can take your smile up as many as 10 shades. Or, choose tooth bonding or porcelain veneers to improve the color of select teeth.

Missing Teeth

Missing teeth are not only the most commonly mentioned characteristic of an unattractive smile, they can also cause neighboring teeth to shift, lead to bone loss, and create neuromuscular problems. Replace missing teeth with State of the Art dental implants or a fixed bridge for a beautiful, natural-looking smile result.

Gaps between Teeth

Even small tooth gaps can be detrimental to the health and beauty of your smile. Our dentists can quickly fill in those spaces with techniques like dental bonding or porcelain veneers. Or choose braces treatment to gently shift teeth into their ideal position and eliminate gaps.

Misshapen Teeth

Misshapen teeth can be corrected with dental bonding, porcelain veneers, or tooth crowns.

Gummy Smile

If you are self-conscious about showing too much gum tissue, our soft-tissue laser can gently remove excess gum tissue with quicker healing and less discomfort than surgical methods.
