Microdontia of the teeth: Types and treatments
Each and every smile is different, and teeth can come in lots of different shapes and sizes. If your teeth are smaller than usual, you may feel 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. From consultation to treatment, we tailor every step to your individual needs. Whether you’re interested in subtle enhancements or a complete smile makeover, we combine advanced techniques with a compassionate approach to deliver results that look natural and feel like “you.”
Microdontia, more commonly known 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.
Transformation
Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes the gum line, revealing more of your natural teeth and making them look longer and more proportionate. Often, excessive gum tissue can overshadow teeth, causing them to look shorter than they actually are. By removing or reshaping this tissue, our specialists can create a balanced and harmonious look that highlights the full beauty of your smile.
Here at Bespoke Smile, our dental team uses the latest techniques and technology for precise and gentle gum contouring. The procedure is minimally invasive and tailored to each patient’s unique needs, ensuring that the final result suits your facial features and enhances your natural appearance.
Crown lengthening is another effective treatment option for those with smaller teeth, which involves reshaping the gum tissue (and, in some cases, the underlying bone) to expose more of the tooth’s surface, creating a fuller, more balanced smile. This treatment addresses both aesthetic concerns and certain dental health needs, such as preparing a tooth for a restoration like a crown.
The Bespoke Smile specialists carefully plan each crown lengthening procedure to achieve a natural, proportionate look that complements your unique facial features. With the use of advanced techniques and a patient-centred approach, we guarantee a comfortable experience and beautiful results.
Composite bonding is a minimally invasive option for improving the appearance of small teeth. Composite bonding can help lengthen small teeth, close gaps, or create a more balanced look, making it an ideal choice for patients looking for quick but effective smile improvements.
Our team takes great care in tailoring composite bonding treatments to each patient’s aesthetic goals and unique smile characteristics. Using high-quality materials and advanced techniques, we ensure that the results are both beautiful and durable. Composite bonding is a comfortable and efficient procedure that can often be completed in a single visit, giving you a more confident, radiant smile without extensive dental work.
Composite veneers are a highly customisable solution for those looking to increase the size, shape, or overall appearance of small teeth. This treatment is ideal for addressing a range of aesthetic concerns, including small or misshapen teeth, gaps, or discolouration, all while preserving more of the natural tooth structure compared to traditional veneers.
We approach composite veneers as an art form, meticulously sculpting each veneer to suit your facial features and personal aesthetic preferences. The procedure is minimally invasive and often completed in a single visit, providing a beautiful transformation with minimal downtime. With a focus on durability and a natural-looking finish, our composite veneers are designed to elevate your smile and boost your confidence
Crafted from high-quality, durable porcelain, these veneers are custom-made to fit seamlessly over the front surfaces of your teeth, instantly transforming your smile. Porcelain veneers are particularly effective for addressing issues like small teeth, providing a long-lasting solution that looks incredibly natural. With their translucency and colour-matching ability, porcelain veneers mimic the look and feel of real teeth, making them a popular choice for those seeking a flawless smile.
At Bespoke Smile, our dental experts work closely with you to design porcelain veneers that perfectly suit your facial features and desired aesthetic. The porcelain veneer process typically takes a few appointments, but the results are well worth it; a beautifully enhanced smile that’s as strong as it is stunning. Our commitment to excellence and artistry ensures that your porcelain veneers will give you the confidence to share your smile every day.
