Hush! Anti-Aging No One But You Need To Know: Can I Fix My Questionable Front Teeth Without It Looking Fake?
Q My two front teeth are cracked and with age they have become discolored and jagged. Is there an alternative for those unnatural facets I see on celebrities?
A There is a rejuvenating dental technique called Micro-Layering that looks remarkably natural.
It perfects and transforms the teeth while preserving their individual characteristics, such as their shape, the small ridges and the gaps of the anterior teeth. Cracks and discoloration disappear, chips are repaired and teeth shortened with age can even be lengthened.
The clever technique involves applying very thin layers of a porcelain composite (in a custom shade) to reshape, rebalance and brighten the teeth.

“You get a neater, healthier version of your own smile,” says cosmetic dentist Dr. Brandon Nejati.
There is no filing of the teeth (as there would be with veneers), and the composite, which strengthens the natural tooth and also prevents bacteria from lodging in its cracks and wears out no faster than your own enamel.
You can have individual fixed tines or sets of upper or lower tines for a nice balance.
The painless procedure takes two to six hours, depending on the number of teeth involved.
The problem? This is an exclusive procedure, available exclusively at Nejati Clinic London (nejaticlinic.com), from £655 per tooth, but well worth it.
