Small changes, big difference.
Chips, gaps and teeth that are uneven in shape or length are some of the most common reasons people come in for cosmetic dentistry. Porcelain veneers can correct chips, gaps, stains and minor misalignment in one treatment. Small chips can often be repaired with a tooth-colored filling, and clear braces can close gaps by moving the teeth themselves.

Chips, gaps and uneven teeth FAQ.
Still have a question? Call our Westport team at (816) 388-0985.
Can veneers fix gaps?
Yes. Veneers can even out spacing and shape for a uniform smile. For larger gaps, clear braces may be a better option.
Can a chipped tooth be fixed in one visit?
Small chips can often be repaired with a tooth-colored filling in one visit.
Veneers or braces?
Veneers change how teeth look. Braces move the teeth themselves. We’ll help you decide which fits your goals.
How do I care for veneers?
Brush and floss them like natural teeth and keep up with your regular checkups.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans and work with most dental insurance providers, and we’ll go over the cost before you start.
