If you\u2019re thinking of enhancing your smile via cosmetic dentistry<\/a>, you should have a clear idea of what kind of improvements you need. To that end, it\u2019s worth asking, \u201cJust what is it that makes a smile beautiful?\u201d This may seem like a straightforward enough question, but the fact of the matter is that there are multiple aspects to consider. Below is a quick overview of 4 components of a great smile and how cosmetic dentistry can help with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. The Size of the Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The size of your teeth affects the overall symmetry of your smile. If certain teeth are notably shorter or longer than others, they can detract from your overall appearance. Luckily, tooth size is something that can be corrected with cosmetic dentistry. For example, veneers<\/a> can be used to completely cover unusually small teeth in order to make them look larger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Color of the Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that a bright, white smile is generally considered more attractive. Unfortunately, it\u2019s all too easy for teeth to become stained or discolored over time. This is especially the case for people who regularly drink coffee, red wine, and other dark-colored beverages that are known to leave stains on enamel. In many cases, it\u2019s possible to address discolored enamel with a professional teeth whitening<\/a> treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. The Shape of the Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes genetics, environmental factors, and other variables can result in misshapen teeth. Needless to say, even one misshapen tooth can take a toll on your smile\u2019s overall appearance as well as your confidence. The good news is that a crown<\/a> or a veneer can often be used to cover a misshapen tooth, making it look more uniform in relation to the other teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The Positions of the Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are your teeth crooked, spaced too far apart, or crowded together? All of these alignment problems can leave your smile looking less than its best, and they can even increase your risk for oral health issues by making it more difficult to maintain proper oral hygiene. To correct the positions of your teeth, your dentist may suggest Invisalign<\/a>. This treatment utilizes removable clear aligners that exert gentle pressure on the teeth to move them to better positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, there are numerous aspects that need to be considered when it comes to creating the smile of your dreams. Once you\u2019ve clearly defined the parts of your smile that you want to improve, it\u2019ll be much easier to communicate the specific changes you want to your dentist so that they can help you create an appropriate cosmetic dentistry plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
