One side seems different
Cosmetic & Orthodontics for Meadow Land Residents
Perhaps the left and right of your smile do not quite mirror each other. See what is creating that imbalance at our McPhillips Street clinic before you decide whether to change it.

Reading the asymmetry
Balance depends on teeth, gums and lips together.
An uneven smile might come from edges of different lengths, a gum margin sitting higher on one tooth, or teeth that lean or rotate. Lip movement also decides how much of each tooth and gum shows when you speak or laugh. Each cause leads toward a different kind of correction.
Small unevenness may be refined with subtle contouring or a little resin, and position may call for orthodontics. Residents of Meadow Land have this looked at in person at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg, and perfect symmetry is not the aim.

Edges can be balanced
Slight length differences might be smoothed out, or built up where a tooth has too little to spare.
Margins frame each tooth
Gum height influences apparent tooth size, and any reshaping must respect the bone beneath the tissue.
Position is another layer
When a tooth sits turned or tipped, moving it addresses the root as well as what you see at the surface.
Tools for evening things out
Balancing options for Meadow Land residents
Tooth Reshaping and Dental Bonding deal with small edge differences. Gum Contouring looks at the frame around each tooth, while Invisalign and Veneers address broader imbalance in very different ways.

Finding the imbalance
Work out what your eye is reacting to.
It is fine if you can only point and say, this side. The examination is there to put words to it.
Request your visit- 01
Point to the area that bothers you
When you reach out, simply say where the difference shows. Any recent change in your teeth or gums is useful to add.
- 02
Have proportions compared
Tooth width, midline, gum levels and bite are considered side by side, and photographs may help compare neighbouring teeth.
- 03
Decide how much change you want
Some differences suit a small refinement, others a longer plan. Leaving it as it is, once you understand it, is also your call.

Your questions, answered.
Helpful details about cosmetic & orthodontics in Meadow Land.
Ask our teamAre perfectly matching sides a realistic goal?
Natural smiles are rarely identical from one side to the other. The planning focus is a result that looks balanced and suits your face, and the outcome cannot be promised in exact terms.
Why does one tooth look longer than its neighbour?
Gum recession, wear on the other tooth or a difference in position can each create that look. Contouring the edge will not correct all of these causes.
Could my lip be part of what I am seeing?
It could. A shorter or highly mobile upper lip can reveal more gum in places, even when the margins themselves are healthy.
Can gums be evened out on only one tooth?
Selected teeth can be treated when the anatomy permits. Measurements help locate the enamel boundary and the bone, because tissue may rebound if those are not respected.
Would a single veneer balance the two sides?
Veneers are designed with the whole smile in mind, including midline and gum levels. Whether a selected tooth suits one depends on its enamel, your bite and what you wish to change.
Do crooked teeth make a smile look uneven?
They can, particularly if teeth are rotated or crowded on one side. Aligners or braces shift the tooth itself, and the dentist can explain which movements are predictable with each.
