Creating Even Top Teeth
About the Treatment that Created this Even Teeth Smile
To get the evenly sized tooth smile the patient wanted, the size of her incisor (eye) teeth and a number of other teeth was changed. Applying composite resin directly to the teeth; with careful colour matching and sculpting. The patient’s teeth were cosmetically adjusted for a natural looking even smile. The entire treatment process was completed in one appointment.
A young woman in her mid 20’s came to Dental Care Professionals because one of her front top teeth was much smaller than the rest of her teeth and it made her feel very self-conscious. She told us because of this tooth she hardly ever smiled.
The size of the small tooth and the adjacent teeth was changed by direct composite resin application to give her a natural looking even smile. The composite resin applied to the small incisor and sever of her other upper teeth gave her smile the appearance of looking regular.
Composite Resin Dental Bonding
When composite resin is applied directly to the tooth, the tooth is first etched and then a process of colour matching and sculpting is undertaken to arrive at the ideally shaped tooth. The adhesively bonded resin is built up directly on the tooth surface and uses light to cure the bonding agent (the chemical that makes the resin stick to your tooth).
This treatment is very fast when compared with other treatment options. It allowed our patient to achieve a dramatic overnight change to the appearance of her smile in a single dental appointment.
Information for You
Some patients with small teeth may need different treatment options to the one used for this patient, to achieve the smile you want. Crown lengthening, removing gum tissue and dental bonding are other treatments that can be helpful alternatives for patients depending on your individual situation.
We recommend that you speak to a dentist to find out what will work best for you – not just for your budget but also to make sure that your teeth, gums and smile will look beautiful a lifetime.

In the past, if you had small teeth it was something you’d have to live with, but now there are a number of easy treatment options to choose from that will give you even teeth and a beautiful smile.

Crowns & Bridges
If it hurts when you bite down, it is possible that your tooth is cracked. If a tooth is cracked, it is a serious condition and does usually require a crown.
Inlays & Onlays
Where there is minor damage to tooth enamel, inlays and onlays are often recommended as an alternative to fillings or a crown because they preserve a great deal of the natural tooth.
