Is it possible to file down teeth that stick out?

Q. hi iv always had a problem with my two upper front teeth, i find them alot bigger then my other teeth and they stick out. a friend told me that u can get them filed down. is this possible? thanks alot ,
A. You can have the teeth straightened using a brace or a quicker option would to have crowns placed on the teeth this involves the teeth being filed down. I would have to take a look to advise which the best option for you would be. Please feel free to contact the clinic.

It is possible to file down teeth, however, without a full consultation I don’t know if it would be suitable to file them down 2-3mm. You need to be careful when filing teeth down that you don’t take off too much as this could create sensitivity. My suggestion is that you book in with a cosmetic dentist and explain to them specifically what want to achieve and they will be able to advise you on if this is possible from just filing down the teeth.

I was wondering if you could give me a rough idea of a price for having 2 teeth filed down and veneers put over them?

I had my front two teeth filed down slightly and a new front veneer recently and suddenly after a few months or so my bite has changed and one of my lower front teeth is hitting the back of my front tooth when I close my mouth and when I eat. I can’t chew properly as I’m conscious of hitting my tooth, and my jaw feels really tight all the time like I can’t relax it. Its like im aware of my teeth all the time now and its making me worry about doing damage to my teeth. I want to see a specialist as opposed to my regular dentist and wondered if there are dentists who specialise in dealing with correcting bites? Can you help?

First go back to your dentist as they might need to make a slight adjustment which may sort things out very easily for you
