Each and every smile is different, and teeth can come in lots of different shapes and sizes.
If your teeth are smaller than usual, then you may be feeling self-conscious or embarrassed about your smile.
Here at The Bespoke Smile, we understand the importance of being happy with your teeth.
Our dental specialists can provide the highest-quality care and treatment to restore your smile and self-confidence.
Microdontia, more commonly as small teeth, is a condition where your teeth are unusually small or short.
Having one or two small teeth is relatively common in our patients, however, microdontia of the whole set of teeth is quite rare.
Most cases of microdontia are localised, however, the rarer cases occur due to a genetic condition such as pituitary dwarfism.
Other causes of microdontia can include:
Whatever your case of microdontia, we can provide bespoke treatment to create your ideal smile.

If you have small teeth, then you may be at a higher risk of damage to your teeth.
Microdontia can cause bigger gaps between the teeth, making it easier for food to get trapped, or gums to be damaged.
Gaps in your teeth may cause your teeth to shift into gaps and result in crooked teeth.
If you are having any recurring or constant pain in your jaw or teeth, then it is important to contact your dental specialist as soon as you can.
If you are concerned about the look of your teeth and your smile is causing you to feel conscious, then there are a number of cosmetic dental treatments available to you:
Veneers are ultra-thin coverings that are placed over the front surface of your teeth to improve the look, function and feel.
The veneer application procedure is minimally invasive and can create a whole new look for an individual small tooth, multiple teeth or an entire smile.
Learn more about how veneers work.
The benefits of dental veneers include:
There are several types of veneer material and the brand you choose will depend on your requirements and oral situation.
Dr Sam Jethwa is a leading veneer specialist and will be able to advise you on the best cosmetic solution for you.
Crowns are a common solution to microdontia, as they sit on top of an existing tooth to protect, strengthen and improve the look of the tooth.
Whereas a veneer covers the surface of a tooth, a crown will cover the entire tooth to help align the overall smile.

Here at The Bespoke Smile, we place porcelain crowns to ensure a stronger and more durable solution that is long-lasting.
Usually made of composite resin, dental bonding matches the colour and look of your teeth.
Bonding can help restore the aesthetics and strength of your teeth.
The resin used to bond to your teeth can be shaped and polished in order to match the individual shape and size of your teeth.
Dental bonding can be completed within a single visit as there is minimal preparation and it is a pain-free procedure.
If you have microdontia, then dental bonding can improve the shape and size of the tooth, protect the damaged teeth and improve your oral health.
Whatever your dental condition, we are here to help.
Using the latest technology, our treatments are bespoke and available on 0% finance. See our fees.
