Shortening Front Tooth

    Hi all.

    One of my front teeth is slightly longer than the other and i'd like to have it filed down or whatever the procedure actually is in order for both front teeth to be the same length. I can spare the length by the way as the other one, the shorter of the two, is quite long anyway so its not a case that I actually need the shorter one lengthened so they match.
    Just wondering if anyone has had this done before, the cost involved and also if any dentist can do this for me or if it is only done by specialist clinics or whatever the case may be.

    Many Thanks

    I'll put your suggestion in the "maybe" pile.

    Good decision... Go for a check up and go from there... Just shortening the tooth may sound ok but but may actually look awful in the end... Braces or crowns/ veneers may be an option depending on your situation...

    Let us know how you get on...
