Fix Gaps In Your Teeth

Fix Gaps In Your Teeth

By:


Most people, I'd say 99% of people, do not think their gap in their front teeth is attractive. If you find yourself embarrassed to talk or laugh and smile, you may want to consider fixing your gap.

Gaps can occur between any of your teeth, on both the top and bottom rows. They're usually genetic, although they can also occur because of injury.

Gaps can be quite embarrassing. They are rightly or wrongly often associated with poor dental hygiene.

Aside from being aesthetically unappealing, gaps between teeth are also a breeding ground for bacteria, and can be the precursor to a host of dental problems, like gingivitis and cavities.

There are numerous easy, painless, and quick ways to repair a gap-toothed smile. The most popular method is porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that can close the gaps between your teeth.

They look (and feel) very much like real teeth, and they can be used to correct a variety of smile problems cracks, chips, discoloration, even gaps.

You can close those gaps in about a month, over the course of three or four dental appointments. The porcelain veneers are permanently attached to the front surface of your teeth with special dental cement.

Porcelain veneers are custom-created from a model of your mouth, and custom-colored to match your natural teeth. Once the porcelain veneers are applied, they're permanent, and you treat them as you would your natural teeth.

With porcelain veneers to cover the gaps between your teeth you'll be able to smile with confidence.

It's important to know that the end result is highly dependent upon the skill of your cosmetic dentist. You want a dentist who has experience with creating, placing and coloring the veneers so be sure and ask lots of questions beforehand, and ask to see samples of past work.

In short, you want to find a cosmetic dentist. This is different from a traditional dentist.

All dentists have been to dental school. Only a cosmetic dentist has then gone on to graduate from cosmetic dentistry school.

It's there that he or she learns additional dentistry techniques, such as veneer application, laser whitening and neuromuscular misalignment diagnosis and treatment. Traditional, non-cosmetically-trained dentists have neither the experience nor the equipment to properly perform such procedures.

Once you find a cosmetic dentist you feel comfortable performing these procedures then you're on your way to a beautiful new smile.
