Dental features and their causes requiring Cosmetic Dentistry treatment

Cosmetic dentistry procedures have made it possible to improve a dental feature that is stopping you to smile at the fullest or hiding your smile. It can be due to: 

• Natural gaps or space in between the teeth.
• Broken or chipped tooth due to trauma, by habits of chewing objects like pen or pencil. It is also seen in professionals like wine tasters or people dealing with needlework who hold the needle in between the teeth. A broken tooth looks as unaesthetic as a missing tooth. 
• Space created by a missing tooth not only look weird it also causes the shifting of other teeth towards the gap. This results in midline shifting of teeth which is again highly unattractive.
• The natural yellow shade of teeth, discolouration of teeth due to coffee, tea, wine or tobacco chewing and smoking or due to trauma also decreases the aesthetics of a smile.
• Pigmented gums: dark coloured gums or dark colour patches on gums also affects the smile.
• A gummy smile can be a result of small teeth or large gums and fortunately, both can be corrected.
