Los Angeles Gap Teeth
Elimination
One Simple Solution
to Eliminate Gap Teeth
Gap teeth is a problem that many people have to deal with on a daily
basis. It can cause lowered self-esteem and little smiling. A fast and
reliable solution for fixing gap teeth is porcelain veneers. There are
other cosmetic dental procedures out there and understanding the
benefits of each will help with making a decision.
Porcelain veneers are an extremely thin shell that is bonded to the
teeth to create any desired shape, size, and color. It is an excellent
way to mask the imperfections of your teeth without having to go
through a surgical procedure. The process is fast, taking about two
dentist visits to complete.
Bonding gap teeth is another solution. A tooth-like composite is used
to fill in the gap between the teeth. The benefits to this method is
that it can be more affordable than veneers. However, the entire tooth
will not be corrected, just the bonded portion. If there is an issue
with the whole tooth, it will be harder to correct with bonding.
A dental crown is another method that can be used to fill the gap
between teeth. This method is used to alter the entire size of the
tooth. The whole tooth is shaved down so a prosthetic can be glued over
the entire base. This will create a tooth sized to fill the gap. The
issues with crowns is that they are permanent; the enamel can be almost
completely shaved down in the process. Some veneers require enamel to
be shaved down, but with many the process is entirely reversible.
When deciding what method is best to correct gap teeth, porcelain
veneers, known as instant braces, can offer an immediate solution. They
will correct the whole problem with the teeth without have to damage
too much enamel. Discuss with a cosmetic dentist, such as Dr. Eddie
Siman of Millennium Dental in Los Angeles, California, to determine
what method is best to correct a gap between your teeth.
