Dental Advice faq from Seattle Area Dentist

Assuming your teeth are already positioned properly, the shape of your teeth would likely be adjusted via recontouring and cosmetic veneers or crowns. This procedure may necessitate only adjusting 2 of the front 4 teeth, but often achieves optimal results by treating all 4 involved teeth. I would be quite happy to see you and discuss your options with you when you come to Seattle. Our office works with an excellent dental lab right here in the building which provides excellent cosmetic work. Often, my lab technician will come visit our office while our patient is here to get an ideal view of how to design properly shaped and colored anterior veneers or crowns. Also, if the relatived sizes/shape of your teeth is not too extensive, it may be possible to simply reshape them with a bit or recontouring, eliminating the need for either orthodontia or veneers. I hope this helps!
