How do I find top 10 dentists for teeth shaping?

Almost each of my teeth look like they belong in a different mouth. The shapes are so random it’s crazy. One tooth is pointy but the next tooth is square. Others are round on the edges and there are some that even look more oval. They are poorly shaped. My dentist told me that he can shape them for me. I asked him if it’s something that he normally does and he said that he never did before! Now why would I let him practice on me? Actually shaping my teeth sounds like a good idea but how do I find say the top 10 dentists that can do it right? Bella I.

Bella - You have made a wise decision to find an experienced cosmetic dentist to shape your teeth. And that’s the key—find a cosmetic dentist, not a general dentist to do the work. Although you won’t necessarily find a list of top ten dentists for tooth contouring in your area, you can visits websites of cosmetic dentists to find out whether they are accredited or not, and how much experience they have. After you have narrowed your choices you can call dental offices to ask questions specifically about tooth contouring.

An examination by a cosmetic dentist will also tell you if you are a candidate for contouring or whether a different treatment will work best for your case. You can start by having a consultation with two or three cosmetic dentist before you decide whom you would like to enhance your smile.

What’s the fastest way to get my teeth straight for my wedding?

I just got engaged last weekend. I wasn’t expecting it so soon, but I am very happy. I am regretting that I didn’t get Invisalign before now. I have several front teeth that are crooked and now I am in a rush to get them straightened out before December. I want a beautiful smile for my wedding pictures. We were thinking about engagement pictures, but I don’t want to send out photos of my crooked teeth. Is that enough time for my teeth to be aligned before the wedding? - Dana

Dana - Congratulations on your engagement! You need to receive an examination to find out how much time it would take to straighten your teeth with Invisalign.

No doubt with less than nine months to go, you will be busy with planning and preparation for your wedding. Find an accredited cosmetic dentist for your examination. One option to align your teeth is porcelain veneers. They can give you a quick, natural-looking smile makeover in just a few weeks.

A cosmetic dentist will be able to tell you which teeth need veneers. The veneers are bonded to the front of your natural teeth to make them appear straight. A cosmetic dentist can perfectly adapt the veneers to match the characteristics, color, and translucency of your natural teeth. If you have a budget for your smile makeover, speak with the dentist about financing and payment plans.

You will be amazed at the results, and your smile will be ready for lots of pictures!

Which is the best dentist for my teeth a cosmetic dentist or orthodontist?

So I have spaces between 5 of my top teeth. not all 5 in a row but the spaces are random. I want to close them up and I am wondering which is the best dentist for my teeth. a cosmetic dentist or a orthodontist? Thanks! Sydnee.

Sydnee – An orthodontist will provide you with braces to close the spaces between your teeth. A cosmetic dentist provides alternatives to lengthy treatment with braces, including dental bonding and porcelain veneers.

The treatment recommended for you depends on the size of the spaces between your teeth. Smaller spaces can be closed with dental bonding. Porcelain veneers are a beautiful way to conceal larger gaps. Make an appointment with an accredited cosmetic dentist to discuss your options.

Cosmetic dentist totally messed up my teeth!

In August I got cosmetic bonding on two teeth that got chipped in a bike accident. As soon as the dentist finished and she let me look at my teeth, a) I noticed that the bonding was much whiter than my own teeth and b) the bonding was very lumpy. I complained right away but she told me it needed time to settle and to call for an appointment if it didn’t settle in two weeks. I called for an appointment and was scheduled for a month later! So when I went back to the office my dentist said that she had to take off the bonding and start over. Sounded like a good idea to me. So she got the bad bonding off and re-did it. Now the shape of my two teeth is completely different from how they looked originally and they look like they don’t belong with my other teeth. The color is better but not quite right. I actually had a good friend ask me what happened to my teeth. I cannot go back to this dentist. I am cutting my losses, money and all. I am done. How many times can a dentist chisel off bad bonding without messing up my own teeth? What should I do now? – Tia

Tia – Take the time to find an experienced cosmetic dentist in your area. If you are able, find an experienced cosmetic dentist who is also accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

The dentist will examine your dental bonding and let you know your options. It is likely that the bad bonding can be removed, your teeth can properly be prepared for the bonding, and new bonding can be applied. An experienced cosmetic dentist will have plenty of composite available to match your natural teeth. He or she also has the skill to sculpt the bonding so that it looks completely natural.

Don’t settle for anything less than an experienced cosmetic dentist.
