I travel extensively for business, so I do not have the time to commit to years of treatment and the progress-check appointments that go along with it. I have three upper teeth that slightly overlap the tooth next to them. A few of my bottom teeth are skewed also. What type of dentist would know how to correct all of this without braces, and how can I tell if the dentist is really qualified without trial and error? &#8211; Thank you. Bethany from NJ<\/p>\n<p>Bethany,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for contacting our office. Although Dr. Delaune would need to examine your teeth and gums before recommending treatment options, we can offer a few suggestions.<\/p>\n<h2>Can You Correct Overlapped Teeth Without Braces?<\/h2>\n<p>You can correct overlapped teeth without braces by consulting a skilled cosmetic dentist. We will discuss why the treatment works and how to find the best dentist for your needs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Porcelain veneers<\/strong> \u2013 A skilled cosmetic dentist can bond veneers to the fronts of your teeth to make them appear straight. They can give you a <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\">beautiful smile design with veneers<\/a> that have the color and translucence of natural teeth. You can choose the shade you want, so your smile will also be brighter, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cosmetic contouring<\/strong> &#8211; After a dentist takes x-rays to determine whether your teeth are healthy enough for this treatment, they can re-shape your teeth. A dentist can use a laser or sanding drill to remove minimal amounts of tooth structure. After re-shaping your teeth, the dentist will smooth and polish them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Teeth whitening<\/strong> \u2013 Teeth whitening can make your smile brilliantly white before you receive porcelain veneers or after contouring. Brighter teeth will <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-teeth-whitening.html\">enhance a smile makeover<\/a>. Whenever you receive porcelain restorations for your teeth, your dentist must complete whitening first to ensure the veneers match your newly whitened natural teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do not leave your cosmetic dentistry treatment to chance. An experienced cosmetic dentist is the best dentist for a smile makeover.<\/p>\n<h2>Finding the Best Dentist for Your Case<\/h2>\n<p>Use these steps to find the best dentist for your case:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Schedule consultations with at least two advanced cosmetic dentists.<\/li>\n<li>Ask to see before-and-after pictures of smile makeover cases like yours.<\/li>\n<li>Ask the dentists how they would resolve the issues with your teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Ask how long the dentist has been practicing and how many cases like yours they have completed.<\/li>\n<li>Check each dentist&#8217;s website for information on post-graduate training in cosmetic dentistry and their credentials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You will get beautiful, long-lasting results from a skilled cosmetic dentist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Duane Delaune, a <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\">Metairie, Louisiana, cosmetic dentist<\/a>, sponsors this post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the best kind of dentist to improve my smile without braces?
