I am a 32 year old man who is greatly embarassed by his two front teeth. They are considerably larger than the rest of my teeth, and totally consume my smile in an unattractive way. This makes me self conscience professionally and socially. What options would be best to pursue? Replacement? Veneers? Quite simply I would like a proportional, attractive, smile and these two front teeth are causing me great distress. Any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

What Are My Options For My Two Large Front Teeth?

It is very common to feel embarrassed when your smile is not as attractive as you would like for it to be. It is the first thing people notice when they see you. It accounts for a good portion of the first impressions that we make everyday. The good news is that your smile can be improved dramatically with porcelain veneers.

Large Front Teeth Makeover

From what I can see from your photo your front two teeth appear so large due to the crowding.

Large Central Incisors

I think you can get terrific results. My plan would be to first align your teeth in the correct orientation with orthodontic treatment (i.e. Invisalign or braces). You would likely need some shaving of the enamel to straighten your teeth out, this is called IPR (inter-proximal-reduction). Once your teeth are aligned your smile will already look much better. Then veneers can be used to perfect your smile. Good Luck!

You have some options to fix your two front teeth

Your two front teeth are dominating the smile. Some enamelplasty may help but you may need veneers to make the 6 front teeth all symmetrical. I would suggest you find a local cosmetic dentist to assist you in making a decision regarding your smile.

You have options

Thanks for including a picture. The over dominance of your upper cental incisors can be corrected - and by several different techniques. Perhaps just some 'enameloplasty' or reducing the size - followed by moving the surrounding teeth into their correct position. This would be minor orthodontics using Invisialign or Clear Correct. Part of your your esthetic problem is the under dominance of the lateral incisors (the small teeth next to the centrals). ... more
