Correct the size or shape of my teeth

A precise and personalised treatment plan

Teeth that are too short, too long, asymmetric or worn can cause aesthetic discomfort. This concern may affect self-confidence and can also have functional consequences.
Understanding the concern

Why correct tooth shape or size?

Smile and tooth proportion analysis
Possible causes

Causes of tooth shape or size differences

  • Congenital differences, including small or cone-shaped teeth and incomplete development.
  • Natural or excessive wear caused by bruxism or repeated friction.
  • Chemical erosion linked to acidic foods, sugary drinks or gastric reflux.
  • Trauma, cracks or fractures that change the tooth outline.
  • Older or unsuitable restorations that alter natural proportions.

Assessment

A precise diagnosis for a personalised treatment

  • Detailed clinical examination of tooth shape, gum levels and symmetry.
  • High-definition photographs to document imbalances.
  • 3D intraoral scanning for precise modelling.
  • Occlusal assessment of contacts and chewing dynamics.
  • Aesthetic simulation when useful for treatment planning.

Treatment options

How can tooth size or shape be corrected?

Aesthetic reshaping
Aesthetic reshaping

For a minor concern, limited enamel reshaping may correct small asymmetries or balance a tooth edge.

Cosmetic composite

Composite material may be added to adjust shape, close a space or lengthen a short tooth.

Dental veneers

Ceramic veneers may correct the shape, size, colour and sometimes alignment of visible teeth. They are custom-made for a precise treatment plan.

Dental crowns

When a tooth is severely damaged or too short for a veneer, a crown may be indicated to restore its shape and height.

Aesthetic orthodontics

Tooth position may distort the perceived shape. Aligners may correct alignment before an additional cosmetic procedure.

Complementary solutions

A comprehensive approach to the smile

  • Implant treatment when a missing tooth needs to be replaced.
  • Professional tooth whitening to harmonise shade after shape correction.
  • Gum grafting when recession affects visual tooth proportions.
  • Periodontal treatment to stabilise gum health before restoration.

Correcting tooth shape or size

FAQ

Is aesthetic reshaping painful?

It usually concerns enamel only and may not require anaesthesia. The indication is confirmed after examination.

Do composites discolour over time?

Composite may become slightly stained depending on habits such as coffee or red wine. Maintenance polishing may help preserve its appearance.

Can aligners correct tooth shape?

Aligners reposition teeth. Once alignment has improved, composite or veneers may be considered when shape still needs correction.
