Thanks in advance for your help. \u2013 Michaela T.<\/p>\n<p>Michaela \u2013 Your concern about the size of your permanent teeth and the embarrassment that your teeth causes is understandable. Genetics or the environment can cause teeth to develop incorrectly.<\/p>\n<p>There are two permanent procedures for which you might be a candidate\u2014porcelain crowns and porcelain veneers.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/porcelain-crowns\/\">porcelain crown<\/a> requires the natural tooth to be shaved down. The crown is placed over the natural tooth and it completely covers the tooth. A cosmetic dentist will make crowns that look like your natural teeth.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/porcelain-veneers\/\">Porcelain veneers<\/a> cover only the front of the teeth. Usually, teeth are lightly shaved before the veneers are placed. Veneers from a cosmetic dentist will have the color and translucency of natural teeth. They will give you a beautiful smile makeover.<\/p>\n<p>You can schedule a consultation with a cosmetic dentist to find out your options and to get the best results. Cosmetic dentists are dental artists. Find one who has been specifically trained in cosmetic dentistry. You also can check the dentist\u2019s credentials and his or her smile gallery for pictures of smile makeovers that the dentist has completed.<\/p>\n<p>The blog post is courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drszarek.com\/Cosmetic-dentist\/\">Lowell cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Michael Szarek.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My permanent teeth are embarrassingly small.
