Do you find that your teeth are too small or too short? It can be difficult to feel confident about your teeth if they aren’t as proportionate as you would like. Fortunately, you don’t need to settle for a smile that you aren’t proud to show off in the mirror. There are many cosmetic solutions available to help you achieve your goals. Here are some of the 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, this treatment can be considered. 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 to correct a variety of imperfections, including chips, gaps, discoloration, and minor cracks. It can also correct misshapen and undersized teeth. Veneers are customized to be the exact size, shape, and color needed to blend in with the rest of your smile while also helping you achieve the results that you’re looking for. After evaluating your smile, your dentist will help you to determine how many veneers you need to reach your goals.
Dental Crowns
For smaller teeth that have been damaged, a dental crown could be the best option. A dental crown is a customized “cap” that is placed over the entire chewing surface of the tooth to provide protection and improve its appearance. A crown can add length, shape, and size to smaller teeth while also providing protection, making it a viable solution for correcting the appearance of small teeth.
Invisalign
Small teeth can sometimes be caused by misalignment or crowding. Undergoing orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign, can help to reposition the teeth to create a more even and proportional smile. This is because straightening your smile can make small teeth look less prominent.
If you are unhappy with your smile, you don’t need to settle for it. By talking to your dental team, you can put together a plan that’s ideal for you.
