If you wish to alter your teeth’s shape, close gaps between the teeth, or correct chipped or cracked teeth, you have several treatment options to choose from:
- Veneers—Thin, customized shells made from different materials, such as porcelain. The dentist sticks them to the teeth’s front surface.
- Bonding—this procedure involves the dentist applying and bonding a natural tooth-colored resin to the surface of the tooth using a unique curing light.
- Contouring—a procedure where the dentist removes a small amount of the tooth enamel to alter its surface, shape, and size.
- Crowns—these are tooth-shaped caps that entirely cover a tooth above the gum line.
