My front teeth would look so much better if they were just a little bit shorter is it possible?

Q. I have heard that teeth can be shortened. My two front teeth would look so much better if they were just a little bit shorter – is it possible?

A. Teeth can be ‘contoured’ to a degree. There are limits as to how much they can be shortened- as not to affect the nerve in the tooth. You may need to have root canal treatment and crowns to get the look you are after. Alot depends on your occlusion (the way you bite) and the shape of your face and features. I would strongly recommend seeing a cosmetic dentist for an opinion before you have any treatment done. Thanks for your enquiry.
