Teeth that hardly show
Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Crescentwood Residents
Some people feel their smile hides their teeth. Our McPhillips Street clinic can look at length, wear, gums and lip movement together to see what is behind it.

What people actually see
Your lips frame every tooth.
How much of your teeth appears at rest, in speech and in a full smile comes down to several things working together. Tooth length and wear matter, as do the height of the gum and the way your upper lip moves. Teeth can look small simply because their edges have worn, or because gum still covers part of them.
Crescentwood is an area in Winnipeg, and people from there who wonder about this can have it assessed at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. Figuring out which factor is at work comes first, because adding length to a tooth and adjusting a gumline are very different undertakings, and neither one changes how a lip moves.
Explore cosmetic & orthodontics
Worn edges
Teeth that have lost length change proportion, and adding to them may be possible when the bite gives enough room.
Covered enamel
Natural tooth can stay partly hidden beneath the gum, which careful measurement of tissue and bone can help reveal.
Lip movement
Your lip sets how much appears when you speak, and that movement is planned around, since it is part of you.

Looking at your smile moving
Seen at rest, in speech and in laughter.
A still image misses much of this, so the assessment looks at how your whole smile behaves.
Request your visit- 01
Say when it bothers you
You might notice it mostly in conversation, in photos or when smiling broadly, and that detail helps direct the examination.
- 02
Have proportions recorded
Photos and measurements can compare tooth width and length with your gum levels and the line of your lip.
- 03
Weigh what would be involved
Once the cause is clear, ask how much tooth or tissue each suggestion would alter and whether it could be undone.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Crescentwood.
Ask our teamWhy do my teeth barely appear when I speak?
Worn or short teeth, gum covering part of the tooth, tooth position and upper lip movement can each contribute. An examination is how you find out which of these applies to you.
Can adding length make my teeth more visible?
Bonding or veneers can add length in suitable cases, provided the bite allows it. Added edges must still clear your lower teeth, so more length is not always possible or wise.
Would uncovering more tooth help?
It may if gum is truly covering enamel. Measurements show where the natural crown ends and how close the bone sits, and those findings decide whether contouring could remain stable.
Can any of these treatments alter my lip?
The cosmetic dental options on this page work on teeth and gums, not on the lip itself. Lip movement is something the plan respects and takes into account.
Do crowded teeth look smaller than they are?
Overlap can hide part of a tooth’s width, so alignment may change how your teeth appear. Moving teeth addresses their position, unlike a surface treatment placed on top.
Might a shorter tooth be a sign of grinding?
Wear can have several causes, so mention any clenching or grinding you know of. Whether a guard should be discussed depends on the bite and what the examination finds.
As a Crescentwood resident, how do I describe this when I call?
Saying that your teeth seem hidden when you smile is plenty. Reach us on (204) 338-3003 or through the form, and your visit would take place at our clinic on McPhillips Street.
