Lance Timmerman, DMD answers: Procedure to correct longer tooth?

What is the best procedure when one of your top front tooth is longer than the other? My two top front teeth are in pretty good shape but my left one is slightly longer than the other.

There are two ways to make teeth the same length, shorten the longer one or lengthen the shorter one.  The easiest is to shorten, simply contour and polish the longer one.  This could be 5 minutes.  To lengthen would likely require a veneer.  The expense and time would be much more, but it may be the last little thing that really makes the smile "pop"!
