Are you unhappy with the way your smile looks, particularly due to gaps between your teeth? Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field in dentistry that primarily aims to improve the appearance of your teeth. However, in most cases, cosmetic changes to your smile can also enhance the function of your teeth, as well your overall confidence in the way that you look and feel. If you are looking for cosmetic dentistry in Larchmont, and New York City, NY, to fix gaps in your smile, consider reaching out to Dr. Joel Levy.

How Does Cosmetic Dentistry Work?

There are many different types of cosmetic dentistry procedures, each with its own benefits depending on what problem you are trying to fix in your smile. If you have gaps between your teeth, cosmetic dentistry in Larchmont and New York City, NY, such as dental bonding, crowns, and veneers may all be options used to restore the seamless look of your smile.

Dental bonding works by having your dentist cover the tooth with a resin that hardens through the use of a UV light. Once the resin is hardened, it can cover the appearance of gaps between your teeth with a similar color and texture to your real teeth.

Dental crowns are another option for closing gaps between your teeth. While most commonly used to cover cracked or chipped teeth, crowns can also be custom-made and fitted over a tooth that is next to a gap in your smile, effectively covering up the gap with a synthetic tooth made of composite material.

Lastly, dental veneers are another solution used in cosmetic dentistry to cover the gap between teeth. Veneers are a thin material that your dentist can apply to the surface of your teeth to hide imperfections, including gaps.

Which Cosmetic Dentistry Procedure Is Right For Me?

Because there are many options to consider when choosing the right cosmetic dentistry procedure to fix the gaps between your teeth, it is important to consult with a cosmetic dentist first to get specific recommendations and treatment options from an expert.
