Enamoplasty is like extractions

Lance Timmerman DMD answers: Cost of filing teeth?

Would you be able to give me an estimate (ballpark figure) as to how much it would cost to have my two front teeth filed down by about 1mm? I have had Braces yet my two front teeth still look a bit 'horse-ish' as they are very long.

There is no going back when removing tooth structure. If you aren't too particular, just want shorter teeth, then $50-100 is normal. If you have VERY precise goals, then the dentist may need to take impressions for study models, prepare them as desired by you (dry run on the models) and then reproduce this effect on you. The fee would go up considerably. In the latter case, plan on $300-500 for the added time and skill.
