I Chipped A Front Tooth A Few Years Back. Should I Have The Other One Reshaped?

Q.
Hello Dr Shaffie. I chipped one of my front teeth a few years back now but the tooth I chipped has always been longer than the one next to it. Do you think I could I get some sort of reshaping to make it the same length as the one next to it? If so how much do you think would it cost? I need about 2 mm taken of the tooth so its the same length. The part of the tooth that is chipped is now the same length as the other teeth, so the reshaping would also have to match the chip. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer me.

Hello, and thank you for getting in touch. 2 mm reshaping might cause some sensitivity and damage the tooth. It is possible as long as it is a little bit but not an ideal solution. Sometimes veneers are better option to consider. You should discuss these matters with your dentist, and find what the best option may be for you. Thanks I hope my advice can help you with this problem, best of luck. Dr Hussein Shaffie.
