What are ‘wonky’ teeth?

Cosmetic dental work for a more natural smileWonky teeth? You could be forgiven for thinking that the phrase wonky teeth might refer to loose or misshapen teeth. But you would be wrong. Wonky teeth is a term that has recently emerged from guess where – that’s right, America - and it simply means in the words of a leading cosmetic dental work specialist, ‘a more natural smile with perfectly imperfect teeth’.We know that we have written about the high level of cosmetic dental work that is undertaken at Carisbrook Dental and very often this involves creating the perfect Hollywood smile that is still very much in demand. As well as professional teeth whitening and white fillings, this type of celebrity inspired cosmetic dental work also often includes individually prepared porcelain veneers that transform damaged or imperfect teeth into perfectly even, perfectly shaped, perfectly matched teeth and a perfect smile. This type of cosmetic dentistry for which we are justly renowned is still extremely popular.

Now, however, it appears there is a new appeal for wonky teeth. According to cosmetic dentistry sources, celebrities such as pop singer Ariana Grande and Keira Knightley are now known for their ‘wonky smiles’, while A-listers Margot Robbie and Jessica Alba have also shied away from the Hollywood treatment in order to have more natural or unique features and to ‘make their smile look real’.Of course, at Carisbrook, we have always been aware that not everyone longs for the perfect celebrity smile. There are many patients who come to us to discuss cosmetic dental work who simply want a lovely smile that looks natural.Most frequently this type of cosmetic dental work will entail replacing unsightly metal fillings with ‘invisible’ white fillings. Almost certainly it will involve professional teeth whitening, either in our clinic using the very latest techniques or with one of our individually prepared home whitening kits.At the end of these cosmetic dentistry procedures, our patients are inevitably overjoyed at the exceptional results that we have achieved. It may not always be the perfect Hollywood smile beloved by so many celebrities, but they have a lovely white attractive smile that is entirely natural looking – wonky teeth and all. It is perfectly natural looking, very attractive and it is a smile that fills them full of confidence and boosts their self-esteem no end.If you would like to discuss your perfect smile with one of our cosmetic dental work experts – wonky teeth or not – then please do not hesitate to contact us.
