Hello,This can easily be done by bonding ,or a porcelain veneer. Bonding can be considered initially, however over time they will discolor, or need to be repaired. Please consult with a experienced cosmetic dentist as doing a single porcelain veneer will need custom shade matching.Dr. Mazaheri
This simple answer is yes, bonding composite or porcelain to the canines can help mask your missing Lateral Incisors, but a Canine will NEVER be mistaken for a Lateral Incisor. The problem here is that a Canine tooth is widest as it emerges from the gumline. The Lateral on the otherhand is the narrowest tooth at the gumline and gets wider as you move toward the biting edge of the tooth. We call this the emergence profile. Canines and laterals could not be more different in that regard. This leads the newly restored canines to be MUCH wider than a natural Lateral Incisor would be. Beauty is about symmetry and proportion. The proportion between the Central and Lateral Incisors will be off when trying to convert canines in this situation. The Central Incisors need to be the dominant teeth in the smile. What you will have as a result of the conversion will be 4 roughly equal incisors. It may look Ok, but it will never look 100% right. A skilled cosmetic dentist working closely with the orthodontist may have prevented this situation, but now you are looking at a compromise.
Hi, Depending on the extent of these "serrations", a combination of enamoplasty/ very light bonding could be done to improve the appearance. I would love to see a picture to finalize my suggested treatment plan. good luck , Dr Mandy
Yes you could do either veneers or bondings to improve your smile.. However you have to figure what the cost you want to handle before you undertake this journey..What hits me right away is a slight "gummy" smile which can be diminished with braces as your best choice as to help with leveling...
According to me you need to visit your dentist and consult with him or her regarding the pain because there must be something wrong in the procedure.
