Are You Happy With Your Smile?

Fall into the Gap or maybe not.   Do you want to appear like David Letterman?  Maybe you do but maybe you do not.  We are talking about dental dilemmas here.  Like a big space between your upper front teeth.  Good for sucking juice through a straw with your mouth closed but not so well for most when smiling.  Remember you lead with your smile.  So what can you do?

Here at the dental practice of Glenn Reit DDS we can cosmetically close that space using various alternatives.  The first and best is to do orthodontics to move the teeth together.  This is accomplished using Invisalign removable retainers which will sequentially move your teeth into a more esthetic appearance.

Don’t want to go through orthodontics then cosmetic bonding is another alternative.  Here resin composite which matches the color of your teeth is placed without drilling or injections to recreate a more pleasing appearance when you smile.   If the space is somewhat large dental veneers made in a dental lab used on multiple teeth can achieve the smile you are looking for.

When you love your smile your confidence increases and you smile more often making those you interact with you feel a whole lot better.

So give us a call at 212 517 9000.  We are always looking to meet new people.  We are conveniently located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at 1498 Third Avenue between 84th and 85th streets.

We Can Fix That Gap Between Your Teeth

Most people don’t have gap between their teeth but David Letterman, Madonna, and Dan Blocker of Bonanza do. Today most individuals would rather eliminate space.

So what can be done?  The first choice is braces.

The good news is we can now move your teeth with clear plastic aligners- Invisalign meaning only you will know you are wearing braces.  Cosmetically this is a big improvement from the metal wires and brackets that were traditionally used to close spaces.  Some people want a quicker solution since orthodontics or tooth movements take more time to accomplish.

If this is you sometimes we can close the space with cosmetic bonding.  Here we are adding a composite type of material that matches the color of your teeth.  If the space is somewhat larger a lab processed bonding called a veneer can be placed on your front teeth. For back teeth we are able to make lab processed restorations which either covers or fits into the tooth to close the space.

The advantage of correcting the spaces is it makes it easier for you to clean your teeth and it is better for the health of your gums and bones which support the teeth in your mouth.
