Q. I need to get root canal on my front teeth and I dont want to have any discoloration on my gum after the root canal. Can someone refer me to a really good cosmetic dentist in queens NY?
A. No discoloration happens to the gums when root canal is done; it is actually root canaled tooth that is discolored. All that your dentist has to ensure is that the subsequent porcelain crown is color matched with rest of your teeth.
Can a cosmetic dentist change the length of my teeth?
Q. When I smile, barely any of my top teeth are visible. Braces will straighten the teeth (although they aren't really crooked), but would a cosmetic dentist actually be able to change the length of the teeth or whatever so that my more of my teeth actually show when I smile? I always smile with my mouth shut now and would like to be able to naturally smile like most everyone else. Also, since insurance doesn't cover cosmetic procedures, how much would something like that cost?
A. Yes, a qualified cosmetic dentist can lengthen your teeth. Even braces are capable of extruding teeth.
Go in for a consultation to an orthodontist and ask about the length of your teeth. The orthodontist may suggest a combination of braces and veneers or crown lengthening. Experienced orthodontists work with a network of other specialists who can work together to achieve the results you want.
Don't forget that "cosmetic dentistry" is not a true recognized specialty by the American Dental Association - so just about any dentist can call themselves a "cosmetic" dentist. Check around, ask your general dentist or get references.

can a cosmetic dentist extend my natural fangs?
Q. I have natural fangs that i would like to make just a little longer and sharper. Do you think a cosmetic dentist would be able to do that for me ? If so how would they do it
thank you.
thank you.
A. I can't quite understand the intense facination with vampires and wanting to become one...?
If you are serious, this IS possible. The dentist would probably recommend a crown for this desire. (A Veneer or a simple build up of filling material would probably fracture too easily.) The dentist would grind your tooth down, take an impression and send it to a lab for fabrication which takes 2 weeks. You then come back to have your new 'fangs' cemented in place.
Since this is a novelty-type crown they may charge you a little extra for the labor and materials at the lab. The average cost per crown in $900-1,200.
Years, months or weeks down the road, if and when you change your mind and want to be normal again, just know that you may have to pay for the cost of new crowns or perhaps they can grind them down to a normal shape and length.
Hope that helps you...
