"My front teeth look too short" in Flagstaff AZ

Short Teeth in Flagstaff AZ
Do your front teeth appear shorter than they used to be or than you wish they were?
Here are a few dental considerations:

1) Do your teeth measure wider than they are long?
2) Do your teeth have rough edges from chipping
3) Do the gums cover up part of the tooth?

There are different solutions to the above 3 reasons your front teeth may appear too short.
If your teeth are indeed wider than they are long, you may benefit from veneers.  Porcelain veneers can be used to increase the length of your teeth to a natural looking and proportional smile.
If the edges of your teeth are rough and worn, you may be grinding.  Again, porcelain veneers or crowns may be the restorative solution.  You probably would benefit from an occlusal guard also.
If your gums are overgrown and covering part of your teeth, a dental soft tissue laser may be as easy answer.  Same day results with little discomfort or healing time, this treatment is often used after recent orthodontics.
A combination of the above dental procedures is sometimes indicated.
