If you want to be noticed or celebrate how unique you are, and your teeth and gums are healthy, choosing one or more examples of unusual cosmetic dentistry is an ideal way to do so. In recent years, body art and piercings have become more commonplace and as a result, new ways to express your individuality have been discovered.

Examples include attaching permanent jewelry to your teeth and getting your teeth re-shaped to look like the fangs of a vampire. It is important to note that some of the options mentioned are permanent and removing or changing them later could be expensive and time-consuming.

#1-Add Some Jewelry To Your Teeth

Being able to add jewelry to your teeth is not new. but the method for doing so is. Specifically, just a few years ago, the jewelry could only be attached to a grill on your teeth. That was an additional procedure that could dramatically increase the cost. 

Fortunately, now you can have jewelry applied to one or more of your teeth through the use of a semi-permanent and safe dental glue. If you are sure that you will want to always wear dental jewelry, you can elect to have your cosmetic dentist drill a hole into the teeth you want to accessorize. That hole is permanent, so you need to be sure that you love its presence and the charm or gem that you choose.  

#2-Get Permanent Vampire Teeth To Show The World Your Inner Self

In recent years, there have been many books, movies and television shows that feature vampires. Whether you like to think that vampires are soulless, bloodthirsty beasts roaming the world or desolate beings doomed to live alone forever; you can get their smile through a unique type of dental implant. Most dental implants are provided to replace one or more missing teeth. 

However, your permanent vampire teeth are actually one example of body modification, and are provided by removing the existing canine teeth, allowing the area to heal, and then installing a titanium rod. That part is identical to any dental implant, so the change is that instead of attaching a false tooth to the rod that looks real, the dentist will install one that looks like a vampire's tooth. It is important to note that you will need to decide whether you prefer subtle vampire teeth that you can flash at a moment's notice or obvious, long teeth that show themselves to everyone whenever you eat or drink.     

In conclusion, when you are ready to permanently change your teeth and smile, choosing a lesser known example of cosmetic dentistry is a great way to do so.  As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, you could be a candidate for one of these procedures, so call your cosmetic dentist today.
