What can be done for small teeth?
My teeth
are kind of small. They have gaps between them and they are short. What
can be done to make them larger? Will porcelain veneers work for me?

Dear Carissa,
Yes,
porcelain veneers could be
the ideal solution for you. It can make your teeth larger and wider, and
no one will be able to tell you've had anything done to your teeth. While
you're at it, you can brighten the color and make them sparkle.
If you just want to fill in the
gaps between the teeth, though, direct
tooth bonding could be the best
solution. Many dentists don't like to do direct bonding because it has to
be done freehand. But Dr. Rothwell is very artistic and enjoys this direct
work. There are two nice things about direct bonding. One, it can often be
done in one visit instead of two. Second, it is very conservative. Instead
of having to shave your tooth a little and cover the whole tooth,
composite is just added to the sides of the teeth to make them wider.
