My teeth are too long

[Chris J]

Hi

My top front teeth especially my front two teeth are too long compared to the rest of my front teeth. They have gaps between them and just look too long for my liking.

I don't know what sort of treatment options I would have for making them look a bit shorter and maybe closing the gaps between them as well. I have considered veneers but I don't know which type of veneer would be suitable for my case.

I am ideally looking for a cosmetic treatment that is quick and does not cost too much as my budget for this is no more than £1000.

Please help.

We need to see you and assess your teeth to tell you what would be your best option. Generally speaking, you can have:

1. Tooth re-contouring +/- composite bonding (composite veneers) to close the gaps between your teeth which is relatively inexpensive.

2. Tooth contouring +/- orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign or braces to close the gaps.

3. Porcelain veneers/Lumineers to reshape the teeth and close the gaps.


If you are looking for quick treatment that is inexpensive, then maybe you should consider tooth re-contouring +/- composite bonding (composite veneers).
