Struggling with unnatural looking teeth can affect not only your smile but your confidence, speech and ability to eat comfortably. At Dr. Dwayne Bodie’s dental practice we offer advanced and compassionate Unnatural Teeth Treatment in Nyack to help restore your beautiful smile and overall oral health.
What Is Unnatural Teeth Treatment?
Unnatural teeth treatment is dental care focused on correcting teeth that look or feel artificial, poorly shaped, misaligned or noticeably different from your natural teeth. These may be fake teeth that don’t blend in, traditional dentures that no longer fit, or dental implants and crowns that look out of place.
Having unnatural teeth can affect your bite, speech and ability to chew. It can also make you feel self conscious in social settings. Fortunately our cosmetic dentistry solutions, including dental implants, veneers and crowns – can replace or improve fake teeth for a natural seamless look.
Patients often ask “Is unnatural teeth treatment serious?” While it may not be painful in all cases, unnatural or poorly fitting teeth can lead to issues like gum disease, plaque buildup, tooth decay and discomfort over time. That’s why getting the right treatment is important for your long term oral health.
What Causes Unnatural Teeth?
There are several reasons your teeth may look or feel unnatural:
- Previous dental work that wasn’t done right, including low quality crowns, veneers or fake teeth
- Tooth loss due to gum disease, cavities or injury
- Worn out dentures that no longer fit
- Mismatched dental materials used in crowns, fillings or implants
- Tooth extractions without replacing the missing tooth
- Severe tooth decay or broken teeth that change the shape or alignment of your smile
- Genetics or developmental issues that cause misaligned teeth or shape irregularities
- Lifestyle choices like smoking or poor oral hygiene that damage the appearance and health of existing teeth
Common Signs and Symptoms
How do you know if you need unnatural teeth treatment? Here are some signs to look for:
- Teeth that don’t match the color or shape of your natural teeth
- Obvious or poorly placed crowns, veneers or fake teeth
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Gaps from missing teeth
- Pain or discomfort when biting or chewing
- Difficulty speaking clearly
- Unnatural bite alignment
- Sensitivity or gum irritation near artificial teeth
- Crowns or veneers that look bulky or uneven
- Insecurity or dissatisfaction with your smile
When to See a Dentist
You should book a dental appointment if you experience any of the following:
- Pain or discomfort from your dentures, implants or veneers
- A missing tooth or noticeable gap
- Loose, chipped or discolored fake teeth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- New sensitivity or soreness near artificial teeth
- Changes in your bite or jaw alignment
- Concerns about how your smile looks
Delaying treatment can lead to further dental problems like bone loss in the jawbone, gum disease or even more missing teeth. Early care allows us to offer more conservative and cost effective treatment options and protect your remaining teeth.
