What are the treatment options?

When visiting your dentist for a peg teeth treatment, you are likely to be given the following options:

  • Crown/Veneers – A more traditional, invasive and expensive approach to resolving peg shaped teeth.
  • Aesthetic bonding using conventional techniques. This is a painless procedure in which the peg lateral teeth are built up. This is conducted by a skilled practitioner freehand.
  • Bioclear matrix technique – This is aesthetic bonding using injection moulding of composite resin. Similar to the option above but using a more contemporary technique. This allows us to produce aesthetically superior, more predictable and longer-lasting. In lower teeth, this may be the only long-lasting option. See the Bioclear matrix technique below.

Book an examination/consultation today to discuss the above if you have peg laterals teeth.
