Treat Misaligned Teeth in Columbus, GA
There are a variety of treatment options for patients with crooked teeth:
Composite Bonding
Tooth bonding uses biocomposite materials to cover discolored, injured, or crooked teeth. We sculpt the composite material to prepared teeth and can also color-match the bonding material to blend in with the shade of natural enamel. Bonding treatment is a quick and efficient way for patients to create a uniform smile. We often recommend dental bonding treatment for patients with one or few crooked teeth that impact the aesthetics of their smiles.
Porcelain Veneers
Dental eneers are ultra-thin porcelain ceramic shells that we bond to the front of the tooth enamel. Patients with crooked teeth in their smile line or the teeth that appear when they smile benefit from veneers. In addition, dental veneers can be more costly but are typically a longer-lasting option than bonding treatment.
Tooth Crowns
Also known as tooth caps, dental crowns completely cover teeth. Patients with injured, worn, or crooked teeth benefit from dental crown treatment. Crowns can create a balanced, uniform bite. Although crowns may be made of metal materials including gold and silver, we recommend porcelain crowns. Porcelain ceramic is a material that reflects light just like natural tooth enamel. Like veneers, crowns blend in with the appearance of natural teeth.
Braces
Dental braces are one of the best options for patients who require orthodontic treatment. Braces use metal brackets and wires to shift the teeth into a better-aligned position. We often recommend braces for patients who have bite problems because of their crooked teeth. A misaligned bite leaves patients prone to problems like gum disease and cavities. It is often difficult for patients to clean between moderately to severely crooked teeth. Dental braces are one of the most effective treatments to realign the bite and form a healthier smile.
