How many teeth are each composite unit and how many teeth should be composite?

What is meant by each dental composite unit? **Each dental composite unit means a tooth that is going to undergo composite treatment.** In other words, any tooth that needs to be repaired, changed in color, or changed in shape with composite materials is considered a composite unit. For example, if you decide to composite your four front teeth, that means you need four composite units. Having said that, the cost of dental composite is also calculated based on the number of units. Therefore, the more teeth you want to composite, the higher your final cost will be. Therefore, when the dentist asks you about the number of composite units, he is actually talking about the number of teeth that are going to be treated with composite. The number of teeth to be composited in the smile design Now that you know what each dental composite unit means, if you want to achieve a beautiful smile using the dental beauty composite method, you should know how many dental composite units you need. Understanding this depends on your answers to the following questions: - Do you want to fix just one or two front teeth or are you planning to change the entire design of your smile? Are your teeth discolored, spaced apart, broken, or have any other problems? Or do you have healthy teeth? - Is your smile wide and wide or when you laugh, your mouth doesn't open that wide? Determining the exact number of teeth to be composited depends on your own personal characteristics. What is your purpose of composite your teeth, how many of your teeth are visible when you smile and laugh, and what is the budget you have set aside for this work. But in general and according to a general rule, to have a beautiful smile using dental composite, you will need 8 or 10 dental composite units. Do not forget that these numbers are only related to upper jaw teeth. Because usually, in beautifying the smile design, the lower teeth are not composited or laminated. Determining the number of teeth to be composite depends on what factors In the previous section, we explained how many teeth each composite unit is, and explained that each tooth that undergoes composite treatment is called a unit. Now that you understand the concept of a composite unit, let's address the important question of what factors determine the number of teeth that need a composite? **Effective factors in determining the number of teeth needed for composite:** - The purpose of doing the composite - The current state of the teeth - Dentist's opinion - Composite type - The shape and size of the teeth - Wideness of smile - Budget ### 1. The purpose of doing composite One of the most important factors that play a role in determining the number of teeth to be composited is the person's purpose for this treatment. In other words, what you expect from the composite directly affects the number of teeth that need to be treated. If your purpose of the composite is to make a minor correction and fix a specific problem, such as changing the color of a tooth or closing the gap between two teeth, you may only need a composite of one or two of your teeth. In this case, the dentist only makes the problem teeth into a suitable and beautiful state using composite. But if your goal is to make a general change in the design of your smile, for example, you want your smile to look whiter, more uniform, and neater, you may need composites of more of your teeth. In this case, according to the anatomy of your face and smile, the dentist will provide a general plan to change the shape and color of your teeth and then determine the number of teeth to be composited. ### 2. The current state of the teeth Another factor that plays a role in determining the number of teeth that need to be composited is **the current state of your teeth**. It means problems and defects that your teeth (probably) have. For example, if your teeth are structurally sound and there are only minor problems with a number of cavities, your dentist may determine that it is best to treat only those defective teeth. Maybe your teeth are completely damaged, discolored and damaged, in which case, the dentist has to cover more of them using dental composite. In both cases, choosing the best dental composite color is very important so that the result looks natural and beautiful. ### 3. Dentist's opinion Definitely, the opinion of a specialist dentist who has treated several other patients with the same method before you should be one of your priorities for determining the teeth you want to composite. Because the dentist, according to his experience and knowledge, knows very well which teeth need composite and how he can get the best result for you by going through the stages of tooth composite. By carefully examining your mouth, he identifies the problems in your teeth and offers you a suitable treatment plan according to the anatomy of your face and smile. So, if your dentist decides that it is better to make 10 units of your teeth composite, don't think that he is just looking for more income! ### 4. Shape and size of teeth The shape and size of each person's teeth are different from other people, and this issue can affect the number of teeth needed for composite. For example, if a person's teeth are irregular and crooked, the dentist has to composite more of his teeth to create a smoother and more even smile so that all the teeth are aligned. Or, as another example, if individual teeth are different sizes, smaller teeth may need to be enlarged with composite or larger teeth may need to be slightly smaller to create a well-proportioned smile. ### 5. The breadth of the smile Stand in front of the mirror and smile at yourself. Now ask other family members to do this test. Without seeing or knowing, we assure you that the number of teeth that can be counted every time you smile will be different for each of you. This is called the width of people's smiles. The wider the smile, that is, more of your teeth can be seen when you smile, the greater the number of teeth that need composite. To better understand this issue, imagine a person has a very open and wide smile and has composited only 6 of his upper jaw teeth. In this case, when others look at her smile from side angles, they see a stark difference between her composite and non-composite teeth. So, if you plan to composite your teeth, be sure to keep the issue of the width of your smile in mind and ask your dentist to help you determine the exact number of teeth you need to composite. ### **6. Budget** The last factor that determines how many teeth should be composite is the budget. If you have a lower budget, you must either use lower quality composites or reduce the number of teeth you intend to composite. However, we recommend you to use their installment dental services by visiting reputable dental groups such as Dr. Benianian Dental Clinic and do not lose the beauty of your teeth because of a lower budget. What is the price of each dental composite unit? The cost of dental composite is one of the questions of people who intend to do this cosmetic treatment. They want to know how much they should pay to get a beautiful, white, one-handed, composite smile. You should know that there are several factors that can affect the final cost of each dental composite unit. Factors such as the type of composite, for example transparent edge composite or glass edge, its brand, the dentist's expertise in performing this process, and finally the number of teeth you intend to composite.
