Unfortunately, not everyone is born with flawless teeth. There are several reasons why people don&#8217;t like the way their teeth look, but a gummy smile is a common source of embarrassment. You don&#8217;t have to feel insecure about small teeth in Skokie because you have many options to reveal a bigger smile that you&#8217;ll be proud to show off.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Small Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth come in several colors, sizes, and shapes naturally. Some people are genetically predisposed to having smaller-than-average teeth. It\u2019s not unusual for someone to have several or all their teeth smaller than most, but the issue can also be localized to one or two teeth. Besides genetics, certain medical conditions can lead to a gummy smile, like pituitary dwarfism. Instead of a problem with the structure of the teeth, excess gum tissue can cover too much of their surfaces, making them look short or stubby.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most often, small teeth don\u2019t pose any serious concerns for your dental health; however, if too much gum tissue is covering their surfaces, you can have an increased risk of decay and infections. No matter the reason, your cosmetic dentist in Skokie can give you a larger smile using a common solution, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Metal-Free Dental Crown:<\/strong> A crown is a custom-made cap that covers the entire surface of a tooth above the gum line. An all-ceramic restoration can be a great option to fix one or two teeth because it has an average lifespan of over 10 years.<\/li><li><strong>Porcelain Veneers:<\/strong> A veneer differs from a crown because it only covers the front surface of a tooth. It\u2019s thinner than a crown, so it can be applied to several teeth. Besides improving their size, veneers can cover many other aesthetic flaws, like discoloration and chips. Although they are thin, veneers can last for a decade or more for a long-term solution.<\/li><li><strong>Cosmetic Dental Bonding:<\/strong> Dental bonding offers a quick fix using composite resin. It\u2019s shaded to match the color of your tooth to blend in with your enamel. Bonding lasts for about 5 to 10 years before needing to be replaced.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your preferences to create a personalized strategy to turn the smile of your dreams into reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in a Picture-Perfect Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to hide your teeth any longer with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bradweissdds.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic dentistry<\/a>.
