How to Fix Short Front Teeth With Cosmetic Dentistry

Having a beautiful smile can increase self-esteem and overall happiness. If you have short front teeth, cosmetic dentistry can help. Veneers or contouring and reshaping teeth and gums are options you should discuss with your dentist. While most of these procedures are not covered under dental insurance plans, many dentists have payment plans that make cosmetic dentistry more affordable. Maintaining good oral health can help you retain a beautiful smile that will last for many years.

Instructions

• 1

  Visit your dentist to determine why you have short front teeth. It may be that your other teeth are too long and are making your front teeth appear short.

• 2

  Consider contouring and reshaping surrounding teeth to make your front teeth appear longer.

• 3

  Ask your dentist about veneers as they may be applied to front teeth to make them appear longer. Veneers are thin coverings applied to teeth to enhance their appearance.

• 4

  Ask your dentist about gum contouring. If you have an uneven gum line, your teeth may appear shorter than they really are.

• 5

  Visit your dentist twice a year for regular check-ups after having cosmetic dental procedures on your teeth to ensure your teeth stay healthy.
