Malformed and misaligned teeth

From peg-shaped laterals to pointy canines and enamel defects, composite offers conservative, no-drill solutions to reshape and realign your smile.

Peg teeth

The lateral incisors can develop differently and present with a conical shape.

BeforeBefore

Patient presented with a cone-shaped lateral incisor and a diastema between the central incisors. She opted for composite veneers over the lateral incisors and composite bonding over the central incisors to close the gap.

BeforeBefore

Patient presented with a cone-shaped lateral incisor. In this case, she opted for a single composite veneer.

Pointy canines

The smile's curvature is altered in situations where the position and shape of the canines make them more prominent and pointed. This can be corrected with composite bonding with no drilling to the teeth, masking the canines.

BeforeBefore

This patient had a smile where his canines drew a lot of attention due to their pointed nature. He opted for six composite veneers with no drilling, which increased the length of the four incisors and masked the length of the canines.

Enamel defect

During the formation of your teeth, some changes can occur that will affect their look — whether that is to shape, colour, size, texture, etc. Composite is a highly recommended material for treatment in these cases.

BeforeBefore

A young patient presented with enamel deformities on the six upper anterior teeth and the six lower front teeth. She opted for six composite veneers on the upper teeth and six more on the lower teeth, without any drilling or preparation to the teeth.

BeforeBefore

Patient presented with yellow stains on some teeth due to a malformation of the enamel. She opted for composite veneers over the two upper central incisors and the three affected lower incisors; a small amount of drilling was necessary at the location of the stains.

BeforeBefore

White stains are very common and can vary in size and intensity. In this case, the white stains were very prominent on her central teeth, and her right canine was also short and crooked, which bothered her a lot. She opted for eight composite veneers, done without any drilling to the teeth.

Alignment

Some patients are not interested in orthodontic options for aligning their teeth. In these cases, an option is the use of composite as either a permanent or temporary solution. Depending on the level of crowding, a small amount of drilling to the enamel might be necessary to establish the form and alignment.

BeforeBefore

Patient presented with short and misaligned lateral teeth — extra gum gave the laterals a shorter appearance. Surgery was done to remove the excess gum, and after healing, two composite veneers were placed on the lateral teeth.

BeforeBefore

Patient presented with slightly crowded central incisors and prominent canines, plus tooth decay and abrasion injuries near the gums. Four composite veneers were placed on the central and lateral teeth to align them with the canines and conceal the crowding, with composite bonding on the canines to treat the abrasion — all done in a single clinical session.
