Do you long to have a beautiful smile that allows you to exude the confidence you deserve? If so, you\u2019ll be pleased to learn there are safe, trusted, and proven solutions that can give you the look you desire! Read on to discover the possible reasons why your pearly whites appear \u201cshort\u201d and how cosmetic dentistry treatments will prove beneficial at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Are My Teeth Small?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several reasons why your teeth might appear small or \u201cshort.\u201d Some of these may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>If you consume a diet that consists of acidic foods regularly, there is a chance that your teeth will appear shorter over time as they wear down. The same can also be said if you\u2019ve dealt with past drug abuse.<\/li><li>Normal wear and tear can, unfortunately, make teeth appear smaller. Eating, speaking, and chewing will naturally cause your pearly whites to wear down over time. Although more common in older adults, it can happen at any age.<\/li><li>If you have an overgrowth of gum tissue that forms around your teeth, you will find that it not only covers the tooth structure but also leaves a less than appealing appearance.<\/li><li>If someone in your family also has \u201cshort\u201d teeth, there is a chance it could be genetic.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to Improve Smiles with Small Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Undergoing dental treatment of any kind often takes time, as you\u2019ll want to contemplate your options and determine which one is right for you. A cosmetic dentist in Fanwood can help you go through the different treatments and provide more thorough explanations as to how they can benefit your smile and give you the look you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, there isn\u2019t just one method of care. There are actually multiple ways you can reshape your smile and give your teeth a longer, more beautiful appearance. The most common include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Veneers<\/strong> \u2013 These thin, porcelain shells can be customized to fit over your teeth and create a longer tooth structure to give your smile a more even appearance.<\/li><li><strong>Gum Recontouring<\/strong> \u2013 If excess gum tissue is to blame, your dentist can use a soft tissue laser to carefully reshape your gum line to create a more balanced and beautiful look.<\/li><li><strong>Metal-Free Dental Crowns <\/strong>\u2013 By applying a metal-free, porcelain crown over your tooth, your dentist can create a natural-looking appearance that gives you greater confidence.<\/li><li><strong>Cosmetic Dental Bonding <\/strong>\u2013 Instead of resorting to more invasive procedures, you might also consider cosmetic dental bonding. Using composite resin that is color-matched to your tooth enamel, your dentist will apply it directly onto the tooth and sculpt it to create a longer look.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Short, small teeth don\u2019t have to be your reality anymore.
