Canine teeth have a way of sticking out. If you’re a vampire, that’s a good thing. If you’re not, well, you may resent that you’re sporting fangs. You don’t have to live with overly large or pointy canine teeth, or any other aspects of your smile that you don’t like. Find out what cosmetic dentistry procedures are just right to perfect your unique smile.
Minimize Your Fangs with Porcelain Veneers
If you want your teeth to be a natural size, shape, color, and – especially – length, porcelain veneers are the best cosmetic dentistry procedure. Veneers are carefully designed to enhance your smile so it looks natural. That includes sanding down pointy canine teeth when necessary to make room for the super-thin and completely customized veneers.
It’s up to you, your teeth, and your dentist whether your smile makeover is created with traditional veneers, prepless veneers, or Lumineers.
Brighten the Fangs and All Your Teeth with Teeth Whitening
If you’re perfectly happy with the shape and size of your teeth, a major smile makeover isn’t necessary. You are one of the lucky ones. You can still improve your smile with a minor complaint, such as the color.
Your NYC dentist can professionally whiten your teeth. This takes into consideration all aspects of your teeth and makes them look brighter. Your bright smile will be missed by everyone, even in darkened areas.
Cover Miniature Fangs with Porcelain Crowns
If you have undersized canine teeth, whether super-pointy or not, you may be embarrassed at this child-like aspect of your smile. These fangs can be covered with veneers, but porcelain crowns are an option.
Whether your canines are pointy naturally, or whether you have a fang anywhere in your mouth because of a chip or trauma to your enamel, a porcelain crown can fix it. The crown is designed to fit perfectly over your existing tooth and “cap” it into a flattering new shape that blends with the rest of your teeth. The crown won’t stick out, but it will certainly prevent your problem teeth from making themselves known.
Correct Fangs with Cosmetic Tooth Bonding
If you want to reshape a vampire fang in a non-invasive and quick way, cosmetic tooth bonding may be the right repair according to the best dentist in Charlotte. Tooth-colored resin is painted on to the canine tooth to reshape it and add structure. This basically rebuilds the tooth into a more pleasing shape, which will make the fang disappear. You will have a complete smile, with no gaps between teeth.
Bonus: This procedure can be completed in one visit to your Manhattan cosmetic dentist and only takes about 30 minutes or an hour to treat one tooth.
