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.
Answer: Cost for shaving down front teeth First, I would recommend a smile consultation -- if the two front teeth appear too long, it may be because the two side teeth are too short. If that is the case, bonding the two side teeth may be a better option for your smile. I will contour down teeth that are too long (~$100), however I believe that adding bonding is a healthier and better treatment overall.

Answer: Cost of Filing Teeth? Thank you for your question. I totally understand were you are coming from. My teeth were just you describe and did ask my friend dentist to modify them for me. Procedure is called enameloplasty. It does work well as long as you understand the limitations. There is only so much can be taken off the tooth, usually no more 0.5 mm. That assumes there is no prior tooth loss and/or wear. Otherwise you might end up with sensetive teeth..

Answer: Cost of Filing Down Teeth Hi from Washington! I very seldom file down teeth unless I have to. I think that you need to look at your smile and, unfortunately, you did not provide a picture. Filing down teeth is a very permanent thing and once filed down that is it! I really do not like to reduce structure unless necessary. I would like to see the teeth on either side of your front teeth to see if they could be lengthened. This is not as cheap as filing down the front teeth, but it might give you a really nice smile if you lengthened the ones on either side. Bonding is a little more expensive than filing but I think you would be happier in the long run! Consult a few dentists in your area and see what they suggest before you start. Good luck!

Answer: Reshaping front teeth
There may be better options than reducing those teeth, it's not easy to say without seeing them. If you are really sure that's what you want, ballpark number would be around $100-$200. I sometimes do small amounts of reshaping for free for longtime patients, it really depends on how extensive a change is needed.
