You\u2019re not alone if you\u2019re feeling self-conscious about flaws in your teeth. Unfortunately, some people are so worried they\u2019ll be judged for their dental condition that they develop anxiety, depression, or avoid spending time with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, the solution might be as simple as teeth whitening to brighten your enamel, but if your grin has suffered more severe damage, you might require a complete smile makeover<\/a>. Your dentist can create a personalized treatment plan that includes as many cosmetic and restorative procedures as necessary to boost your confidence. Continue reading to learn more about 3 aesthetic concerns they can address!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Factor #1: Tooth Length<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have broken or stunted pearly whites detracting from your appearance? These types of issues can occur when bacteria in your mouth weaken your enamel, leaving you prone to injuries, decay, and prematurely worn-down teeth. But one of the first things others notice about you is the quality of your grin, and it\u2019s easy to tell if some of your chompers are shorter than their neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on your dental condition, your dentist might need to first address the underlying decay with a filling or root canal. Otherwise, they might suggest porcelain veneers or a customized dental crown that can be cemented to your teeth to correct their proportions and, in some cases, restore their functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factor #2: Spacing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that negative space in your grin can impact how you\u2019re perceived as much as your enamel and gums? For instance, most people consider it more attractive to have a narrower space between the corners of the lips and the posterior teeth, which is referred to as the buccal corridor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people also feel self-conscious about a wider gap between their two front teeth in the upper arch, also known as a diastema. Porcelain veneers can sometimes be placed to create the illusion of a perfectly straight smile, but your dentist can also reshape your enamel with dental bonding to bring the surfaces closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factor #3: Color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your teeth are tinted more yellow or brown than pearly white, others might assume it\u2019s because you don\u2019t bother to, or know how to, care for them properly. Although that\u2019s not always the case, it\u2019s natural to want to brighten your grin and improve your appearance to avoid being judged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You might even have tried over-the-counter whiteners without any luck, but don\u2019t lose hope! Many dentists offer high-quality take-home kits containing everything you need to achieve professional results from the comfort of your living room. For instance, they typically include ultra-concentrated gels designed to mitigate potential sensitivity, along with custom-fitted applicator trays for beautiful, reliable results.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re unsure which treatments can help you achieve your aesthetic goals, you can learn more by scheduling a cosmetic consultation with our dentist to discuss a smile makeover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
