Is teeth reshaping and dental bonding for my pointy canine teeth a good idea? (photos)

Question

Dear doctors, I have healthy teeth but I dislike my canine teeth. Is it possible to reshape them and correct the "vampire look"? How much would it approximately cost? Is it bad for the enamel?

Hi from Sunnyvale California!  I would get rid of the vampire look by reshaping and bonding the teeth. It is the least expensive and the less invasive way to go! You will be happy with your outcome! It is a quick fix!  Enjoy your new smile!

Gary Braunstein, DDS · Answer

Enamel recontouring and cosmetic bonding is a good, conservative treatment choice to improve the appearance of your canines.  The length of the canines serves a functional purpose, and that must be taken into consideration if they are to be shortened at all.  Otherwise, I think you will be happy and well served with this type of treatment..

Hi:In order to put the canine in the proper position, it is best to do invisalign and after the teeth have been realigned you can have cosmetic recountoring as well.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Patric Cohen, DDS, FAGD · Answer

Cosmetic recontouring of your canines, if done properly, is a very good option for changing your smile. As long as it is done conservatively, you should have no problems with the enamel.
