Can Cosmetic Dentistry Improve Speech Issues?
Yes, cosmetic dentistry can improve certain speech issues, especially when those problems are linked to tooth alignment, bite, or missing teeth. The way your teeth, tongue, and lips come together plays a major role in how clearly you speak. When teeth are crooked, spaced too far apart, or missing, it can cause difficulties with pronouncing sounds like “s,” “f,” or “th.”
Treatments such as veneers, dental crowns, bonding, or orthodontic work can reshape or
realign teeth to restore proper function. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants or bridges can also help improve articulation by providing stability for the tongue during speech.
However, if speech issues are caused by neurological or muscular factors, dental treatment alone may not resolve them; speech therapy may also be recommended.
At Schwimmer Dental, we combine advanced cosmetic and restorative dentistry to not only enhance your smile but also improve function and confidence in Point Pleasant, New Jersey.
