There is a new dental material that  is new on the market from a dental manufacturing company VOCO that may helpin certain esthetic cases. It is a pink composite dental filling material that can be used on the root surface of the tooth.

A high smile line... showing lots of gum tissue!

A high gummy smile is likely to show excessive root surfaces of a tooth that may give you the appearance of being older that you are (or not)! If you have a low smile line... that is good because in most instances you will show little to no gummy and long tooth smile.The treatment options in the past included:

• No treatment... living with root surfaces shosing
• Gum grafting... with variable results
• Dental crown with pink porcelain on the lower 1/3 of the tooth

Current treatment option

Our Denver Dentists now have another option available to "mitigate" the long tooth look.  Pink composite dental filling material is availabel and may "help" with your problem.  Is the color perfect on everyone... absolutely not! Does it tend to mask the long tooth look... yes. Knowing what the options are gives you the ability to make a more informed decision on what direction you would like your treatment to go.

Does dental veneers solve many esthetic cases... yes.  Do veneers solve "all" cases... no! In these situations we may need to use two different techniques to optimize the outcome of the cosmetic case.

Orthodontics only

Does orthodontics work in all  cases... again no!  If the teeth are of poor color that do not bleach effectively or are chipped or mis-shaped then orthodontics may not solve the problem. Orthodontics can mean something like Invisalign or full orthodontics with bands and brackets.  It all depends upon the movements and position of the teeth.
