With Dental Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An architectural veneer wraps around the exterior of a building, providing more aesthetic coverage than structural fortification. Dental veneers<\/a> are similar \u2013 these thin, porcelain shells are adhered to the front-facing portion of your teeth, and are custom-crafted to achieve a specific look. In other words, if you\u2019d like your teeth to look longer, your dentist can modify the shape of your veneers so that they make your smile appear perfectly even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental bonding can achieve the same results, but by using a composite resin material instead of porcelain veneers. All your dentist has to do is sculpt the resin over your shorter teeth until they appear \u201ctaller.\u201d Because of this, dental bonding treatments are often a faster solution than veneers \u2013 however, veneers typically last longer. Be sure to consult with your dentist about which option would be best for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For \u201cGummy\u201d Smiles, There\u2019s Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the real problem isn\u2019t the size or shape of your teeth, but the length of your gums. If this pink tissue overtakes more surface area than it normally would, your smile could very well appear less \u201cpearly white\u201d and more \u201cgummy.\u201d In that case, a gum recontouring treatment might suit you better. This dental cosmetic service adjusts the shape of your gums, pushing them back so you can see more of your sparkling teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing Which Option to Choose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knowing which dental cosmetic option to choose doesn\u2019t involve some secret power or trick \u2013 just a chat with your dentist. During a consultation, you can better explain what you want your new smile to look like. Based off of your vision and what they find during an oral exam, your dentist will be able to help you pick the best treatment for your preferences. If you want to lengthen your short teeth, don\u2019t forget to give them a call!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
