When you think of smile flaws, you likely imagine visible marks. After all, the worst grins tend to be those with stains, chips, and cracks. However, blemishes aren\u2019t the only imperfections a smile can suffer. Sometimes, pearly whites may seem \u201cstubby\u201d or too short for your mouth. These teeth can then make you too nervous to smirk. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry<\/a> has ways to address this issue. As proof, here are the causes of small teeth and cosmetic treatments that fix them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Possible Causes of Small Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In general, small teeth stem from two possible causes: genetics and tooth erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, a person is born with microdontia \u2013 a condition in which teeth are smaller than normal. A biological issue, it\u2019s a defect that often runs in one\u2019s family. That said, the problem can also be caused by genetic mutations, developmental issues, and radiation exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short teeth may result from gradual wear and tear too. In those cases, the erosion is usually due to teeth grinding or dental injuries. A dentist will usually recommend treatment to prevent further damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How a Cosmetic Dentist Can Fix Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, cosmetic dentists have various ways to make teeth look longer. Based on your situation, these procedures can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal-Free Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As you might know, a dental crown is a cap that covers a tooth\u2019s damaged area. Because it fits onto your pearly white\u2019s top, though, it can also help the treatment site seem longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, short teeth aren\u2019t the only thing metal-free crowns address. They also improve oral health and appearance by fitting snugly over your tooth. The cap\u2019s material keeps bacteria out while also looking beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic Dental Bonding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic dental bonding is best known for covering up tooth chips and cracks. However, its tooth-colored resin can also add bulk to your tooth enamel. The result would be an increase in the size of your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, the bonding process is very low-hassle. In exchange for an affordable price and a one-hour visit, it\u2019ll give you results that can last for years at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Put simply, veneers are thin, porcelain layers placed on the fronts of teeth. Dentists typically use them to correct smile flaws like stains, chips, cracks, and even misalignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides their other benefits, though, veneers can also help teeth appear longer. Dentists can customize them to extend past a tooth\u2019s original surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, small teeth aren\u2019t unsolvable. With the proper treatment from your cosmetic dentist, an improved smile can take their place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
