Do you think that your teeth are too small or short? It can be difficult to feel confident about your teeth if they aren’t as proportionate as you’d like. The good news is that you don’t need to settle for a smile that you aren’t happy about showing off. There are a variety of cosmetic solutions out there that can help you achieve the pearly whites of your dreams. Here are just a few treatment options that can help to correct the appearance of small teeth.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is done to correct minor aesthetic imperfections. This minimally invasive procedure involves your dentist sculpting a tooth-colored composite resin to the surface of your teeth to correct small flaws in your smile. If you have a couple of undersized teeth, minor gaps, or other aesthetic issues, you may want to consider this treatment. It is affordable and can last for several years before needing to be retouched.

Veneers

This is one of the most common cosmetic dental procedures out there. It involves the use of wafer-thin shells of porcelain that are placed over the front surface of the teeth in order to correct a variety of imperfections, including chips, gaps, discoloration, and minor cracks. It can also correct the appearance of misshapen or undersized teeth.

Veneers are customized to be the exact size, shape, and color needed to blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile while helping you achieve the results that you’re looking for. After evaluating your smile, your dentist will help you decide how many veneers you need to achieve your smile goals.

Gum Recontouring

If your teeth appear short thanks to an excess of gum tissue, gum recontouring could be the solution that you’ve been looking for. Using a soft-tissue laser, your dentist can remove any excess gum tissue to instantly make your teeth appear longer and your smile more balanced. Since the laser cauterizes and sanitizes the area as it is being used, it is a gentle and comfortable procedure.

You don’t need to settle for small or short teeth. By talking to your friendly dental team, you can put together a plan that’s ideal for you!
