Misaligned teeth, also known as malocclusion, can take many forms, from minor crowding to more severe cases where the teeth are significantly out of place. This can cause various issues, including difficulty chewing, speech problems, and an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease due to improper cleaning.
Fortunately, modern cosmetic dentistry offers a range of treatment options to correct positioning and alignment issues, improving the function and appearance of your smile. Whether you’re dealing with crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, or underbites, there are solutions tailored to meet your specific needs.
Crowded teeth, also known as dental crowding, occur when there isn’t enough space in the mouth for all the teeth to fit properly, causing teeth to overlap, twist, or become misaligned. Crowded teeth are a common issue that can affect both the appearance and function of your teeth, leading to various oral health concerns if left untreated.
Treatment options to fix crowded teeth:
Misaligned teeth, often referred to as malocclusion, occur when the teeth are not properly aligned when the jaws are closed. This condition can manifest in several ways, including overcrowding, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Misalignment can affect both the appearance and functionality of your teeth, leading to potential issues if left untreated.

Missing teeth can significantly affect both the function and appearance of your smile. Beyond the obvious aesthetic concerns, gaps caused by missing teeth can lead to oral health issues, like difficulty chewing, changes in speech, and a shifting of surrounding teeth. Replacing missing teeth not only improves the look of your smile but also preserves the health and function of your entire mouth, allowing you to smile, eat, and speak with confidence once again.
Treatment options to fix missing teeth:
When teeth are too small, too large, or disproportionate, they can affect both appearance and functionality. Issues with tooth size can lead to problems like uneven wear, bite misalignment, and a lack of confidence Whether you’re dealing with teeth that are naturally undersized, oversized, or have been affected by wear or damage, there are effective cosmetic dentistry solutions to help.
From reshaping and contouring to adding volume with veneers or crowns, our dental treatments are designed to create a smile that’s in perfect proportion with the rest of your facial features.
Small teeth, also known as microdontia, are smaller than average and tend to be out of proportion to the rest of the mouth or compared to typical tooth size. This condition can affect a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all of the teeth. Small teeth can lead to aesthetic concerns, functional issues, and potential oral health problems, depending on the severity of the condition.
Treatment options to fix small teeth:
Irregularities in tooth shape, such as teeth that are chipped, pointed, or unevenly shaped, can impact the harmony of your smile and even affect your bite. These imperfections may be the result of genetics, wear and tear, or injury, but whatever the reason, they can cause discomfort and self-consciousness over time.
There are various dental restorations available to correct and improve the shape of your teeth, whether you’re looking to smooth out rough edges, reshape irregular teeth, or achieve a more uniform appearance.
Uneven teeth edges can feel like your teeth are not smooth or consistent, and may even feel jagged when you run your teeth against them. This can manifest as chips, uneven wear, or irregular shapes along the biting surfaces of the teeth. Uneven teeth edges can affect the appearance of your smile and may lead to functional issues with the bite too.
Treatment options to fix uneven teeth:
Asymmetrical teeth occur when the teeth on one side of your mouth are not proportionate to those on the other side. This condition can involve variations in size, shape, or positioning and can affect both the aesthetics of your smile and the functionality of your bite.
Treatment options to fix asymmetrical teeth:
Over time teeth can become discoloured, with stains from food, drinks, smoking, medications, or simply the natural aging process dulling the brightness of your teeth, leaving them yellowed or unevenly toned. Discolouration can affect your confidence and make you hesitant to show off your smile.
Fortunately, cosmetic restorative dentistry options offer effective solutions to restore the natural whiteness and radiance of your teeth. From professional teeth whitening treatments to more advanced options like veneers for deeper or intrinsic stains, there’s always a way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted.
Treatment options to fix discoloured teeth:
A narrow smile, where few teeth are visible, can create a sense of imbalance or make your smile appear less full. This can be due to the natural alignment of your teeth, the shape of your dental arch, or even missing teeth that reduce the width of your smile. Cosmetic dentistry offers several solutions to enhance the width of your smile, ensuring it complements your facial features beautifully.
Whether you need orthodontic treatments to expand the arch, veneers to broaden your smile or other cosmetic enhancements, we have multiple treatment options that can help broaden your smile.
Treatment options to fix a narrow smile:
While dental work is meant to restore and improve your smile, sometimes past treatments may not meet your current expectations or no longer function as intended. Problems with previous dentistry may include outdated crowns, fillings that have worn down, or procedures that have discoloured over time. Plus, poorly executed dental work can lead to discomfort, aesthetic issues, or even further damage to your teeth.
If you’re unhappy with the results of past dental treatments or are experiencing issues related to older procedures, our restorative dentists can provide the solutions you need. With advanced techniques and materials, we can replace or refine previous work to improve both the look and function of your smile.

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring the function, health, and appearance of damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Treatments include fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures, all designed to restore your smile to its full function and aesthetic appeal. The goal is to bring back your natural smile and prevent future oral health issues.
Crooked teeth, or malocclusion, can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, habits like thumb sucking or prolonged pacifier use during childhood, early loss of baby teeth, or overcrowding in the mouth. Other causes can include injury to the mouth, misalignment of the jaw, or simply natural variations in tooth size and shape.
Teeth can shift and become crooked over time because as you age, the pressure from chewing and other habits can cause your teeth to gradually move. Gum disease, which weakens the support around your teeth, can also lead to shifting. Additionally, if you’ve had dental work or orthodontic treatment in the past, your teeth may naturally shift if retainers or follow-up care are not maintained.
Gaps between teeth can develop or widen over time due to various factors. Gum disease is a common cause, as it can lead to bone loss and cause teeth to shift. Tooth loss or extractions without proper replacement can also create gaps. Additionally, habits such as tongue thrusting or improper swallowing can push teeth apart. In some cases, natural growth and development, especially if the jawbone continues to grow, can also contribute to gaps forming.
Sudden misalignment of teeth can be alarming and is often caused by changes in the underlying structures that support your teeth. This can result from gum disease, which weakens the bone and tissue supporting your teeth, or from changes in your bite due to tooth loss or shifting. Other factors like injury, stress-related grinding or clenching, or even hormonal changes can contribute to a sudden shift in alignment.
Large front teeth, or the appearance of disproportionately large front teeth, can be due to natural variations in tooth size, jaw size, or the alignment of your teeth. Sometimes, the surrounding teeth may be smaller or more worn, making the front teeth appear larger by comparison. Orthodontic treatments can help align your teeth for a more balanced appearance, and in some cases, cosmetic procedures like reshaping or veneers can be used to create a more harmonious smile.
