Frequently asked questions
What causes teeth to become pointed or uneven?
Sometimes permanent teeth come with a naturally pointed shape or could have talon cusps, also called eagle talons. Trauma, accidents, such as if you play contact sports, and bad oral hygiene can all lead to teeth breaking, chipping, or becoming jagged. Mamelons or jagged edges found in children usually disappear on their own as the child gets older, mostly due to natural wear and tear.
Is it possible to align pointed or jagged teeth?
Yes, it is possible to align pointed or jagged teeth for a more symmetrical appearance and comfortable feel. Treating jagged or pointed teeth also stops them from affecting other areas of your oral health, from damaging surrounding teeth to causing pain when you speak or eat.
What are the different types of treatments available?
There are quite a few effective treatments to even out pointed or jagged teeth, such as recontouring, bonding, dental crowns, or veneers, and if redesigning is needed, a dentist can achieve it by adding dental resin to fill out the edges. Professionally filing sharp edges is also a recognised treatment option. In rare cases, a dental implant might be an option.
What are the benefits of seeking treatment for pointed or jagged teeth?
Aligning teeth is beneficial for improving speech, oral health, and correcting your bite and jaw alignment. If in a visible location, then aligning jagged teeth has a marked effect on the appearance of your smile as well.
Will the results look natural?
Yes, especially with the advanced technology used in dental care these days, any results will look natural as tooth-coloured resin is used as filler when necessary. The colour used matches your natural teeth as far as possible for a seamless finish.
Are the results permanent?
If the tooth is filed or reshaped, then the results will be permanent, but dental bonding can be reversed. With good care, dental bonding can last up to about five to 10 years. Dental crowns, too, can last between five and 15 years with proper care and good oral hygiene habits.
Is the treatment process painful or invasive?
The treatments are usually minimally invasive, and while there can be discomfort if pain is a possibility, your dentist will probably administer an anaesthetic or put on a numbing cream. If you are concerned about feeling pain immediately after treatment, you can check if your dentist will prescribe a light painkiller for a few days.
Is there an age range applicable to patients?
Unless there is a pressing medical concern, generally, children with milk or baby teeth will not have treatment done. Children with permanent teeth can have their teeth evened out if recommended by the dentist.
How much does it cost to treat pointed or jagged teeth?
Depending on the type of treatment and where you get it done, the cost will vary. The most affordable choice is tooth contouring or filing, which costs roughly between £30 and £100 per tooth as there is no material involved. Dental crowns can cost upwards of £800, while composite bonding will cost about £250–350 per tooth.
