Do Your Adult Teeth Look More Like Baby Teeth?
1. If you’re tired of feeling embarrassed by adult teeth that look like baby teeth, you may be thinking there’s no solution.
erhaps you’ve tried teeth whitening or considered getting porcelain veneers, but have always thought, “What’s the use? My teeth aren’t damaged. They’re just tiny.” When the size of your teeth appear too small for your face, it may seem like there’s nothing you can do about it.
Celebrities such as Jewel, with her “period teeth,” Kirsten Dunst and her “snaggle fangs,” and Woody Harrelson and his little boy teeth, have been able to get away with having smaller looking teeth and be known for having quirky smiles. However, for many people, tiny teeth can make an attractive face look awkward or cause an adult to look like a 12-year-old. If you are one of those people, you’re probably self-conscious about your smile and reluctant to smile for photos.
Oftentimes, when the teeth are tiny, there is too much gum tissue showing when the person smiles. From a distance, it can almost look like the person is smiling with no teeth. This is what some people refer to as a “gummy smile.” In dentistry terminology, we call it excessive gingival tissue. The excessive gum tissue can cover up a large portion of the crown of each tooth, causing the tooth to appear unusually small.
The good news is that there’s a simple solution to the problem, which allows your natural teeth to show up like they should. If you have a very large amount of excess gum tissue, you may require periodontal surgery to remove it. In the more common case that you only have a small amount of excess tissue to remove, gentle laser recontouring can be done. This evens out your gum line and makes your teeth appear normal sized for your mouth. Oftentimes, this is all the cosmetic dental work you will need done in order to fully express your smile.
Some individuals may like porcelain veneers in addition to laser recontouring. If your teeth are misshapen, cracked, chipped, discolored, or worn, porcelain veneers will repair all of this and contribute to the overall outcome of gum laser therapy. Porcelain veneers are stain-resistant, and they have the glossy appearance of healthy dental enamel. They can protect your teeth from damage and cold intolerance, while helping you to feel more confident with your smile.
Find a good cosmetic dentist in NYC and have a consultation if you believe you may benefit from laser gum recontouring and/or porcelain veneers.
