Tooth Size Problems: What To Do?

Patients are often worried that they will have trouble finding a way to improve their smiles because their main concern is the dimensions of their teeth. Does this describe your current dilemma? Perhaps your teeth look too short and you assume they’re stuck that way. Maybe the opposite is true. Perhaps you think your teeth look too skinny and you’re dealing with tiny spaces between them, so you really don’t know where to begin. Fortunately, cosmetic treatments like dental bonding can help more than you might imagine. Let’s explore!

Teeth That Are Too Long

Do you think your teeth look too long? Maybe some of your teeth look too long. No problem. We offer dental contouring, a cosmetic treatment that can easily solve your problem. We will take a look at your smile, create a plan, and remove the extra tissue.

Teeth That Are Too Short

Maybe your teeth are too short! In this case, you may be able to rely on dental bonding, which we can use to make your teeth look a bit longer. Or, we may suggest veneers. It all depends on the number of teeth and whether you would like to address additional issues.

Teeth That Are Gently Overlapping

If you are dealing with serious overcrowding, we will likely need to suggest orthodontic care. However, if you are seeing some minor overlapping of teeth, we can often address the issues with contouring by removing the excess tissue.

Teeth That Have Spaces Between Them

Have gaps between your teeth? Dental bonding will allow us to fill them (which is often what you need when you think your teeth are “too skinny”). Or, we may suggest veneers to address multiple concerns, while closing those spaces.
