Cosmetic Dentistry: That is tough to answer in small space. But quickly, discoloration, malformation of tooth, cracks and wear, crowding and malalignment, spacing problems, size discrepencies, gum issues (too much, too little), collapsed bite issues, arch discrepencies. These are a few and have a range of different treatments. See a trained cosmetic dentist to address your specific needs.

Compliance: If you've had or are going to have cosmetic dentistry done, make sure you do substantial homework and thoroughly review your goals and expectations. After you've made the investment, make sure you keep up with good homecare, oral hygiene, and routine professional check-ups and cleanings.

Expectations not met: To be happy with the end result, make sure you communicate well with your dentist exactly what your expectations are. You should have a high level of comfort and confidence in your dentist. After the treatment, remember to maintain your new smile. It will take commitment on your part, but, it is worth the effort!

Varies...: Perhaps most common is chipping of the veneers. It is very important to obtain a special night guard to protect the investment in cosmetic dentistry when porcelain veneers are done. Another common problem may be that of staining along the junction of the dental material with the teeth. This problem is best prevented by obtaining these services from an experienced and well-reviewed dentist.

A Large Variety: The most common cosmetic dental problems are teeth which are crooked, crowded, dark, too large or small, chipped, worn, stained, too far apart, or simply unattractive from a combination of these factors. Missing teeth is also cosmetically unpleasing. Unattractive gums are also common. Many problems you are born with, and some occur over time. Today, virtually any cosmetic concern can be corrected.
