The size of your teeth is equally important as their color and positions when creating a beautiful smile. If your teeth are shorter than average, you’ve probably heard you have a gummy smile. Gum contouring can be used to remove excess tissue to make your teeth appear larger, but you also have another option.
Often, porcelain veneers can be used to correct smaller than average teeth or those that have an abnormal shape. In some cases, your cosmetic dentist in Springfield may recommend gum contouring along with veneers to achieve the results you want.
