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 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.
