Everyone deserves to feel confident in their smile. Unfortunately, dental issues like short-looking teeth can stir up concern and make many feel self-conscious. The appearance of short teeth can create an asymmetrical smile and be caused by multiple factors, including genetics, wear over time, damage, or excessive gum tissue.
At North Scottsdale Dental Studio, our experienced dentists can utilize a variety of dental treatments to help improve short-looking teeth, including:
- Porcelain veneers – A popular cosmetic dentistry treatment is porcelain veneers. Crafted from durable yet thin material, veneers are commonly used to correct cosmetic concerns, such as discoloration, short tooth length, chips, and much more. Custom-made veneer sheets are adhered to the front of the affected teeth to hide and rectify imperfections. Often included in a smile makeover, the treatment can enhance the appearance of your teeth with natural-looking results for a more confident smile.
- Dental crowns – A common procedure to help improve the look and function of teeth is dental crowns. This restorative treatment can be utilized for weakened, damaged, short-looking, or uneven teeth. A crown covers the visible part of the tooth and is custom-made, meaning that if you have short teeth, the crown can be crafted to a more satisfactory length.
- Gum recontouring – The appearance of short teeth can sometimes be caused by a “gummy smile,” or excessive gum tissue extending over the surface of the teeth. With gum recontouring and non-invasive laser dentistry techniques, gum tissue can be reduced and your smile can look more symmetrical.
