One of my front teeth (left one) is noticeably longer than the other one. Do I need a crown, a veneer, or something else to make my teeth match? What’s the best way for a dentist to correct the long tooth? Thanks Milcah
Milcah – A cosmetic dentist needs to examine your teeth before treatment is recommended. Your entire smile needs to be evaluated to determine which treatment will best enhance it.
The solution may be as simple as dental contouring. During this process a small amount of your tooth structure will be reduced. Your tooth will be shaped to compliment the adjacent teeth.
Depending on the length and shape of your other teeth, another option is to lengthen the shorter tooth with a porcelain veneer or by means of cosmetic bonding.
Schedule a consultation with an experienced cosmetic dentist to discuss your options.
