One sits a touch shorter, or its corner runs at a different angle from its partner. If you live in East Kildonan and that small mismatch keeps catching your eye, here’s how resin might even things out.
Let's find a time
The upper front teeth sit side by side at the middle of your smile, so a small difference in length or width can seem bigger there than it would further back. Composite can sometimes add what the smaller partner lacks, built up by hand directly on the tooth and sculpted to relate to its neighbour.
East Kildonan is in Winnipeg, and residents having this looked at are seen at Winnipeg North Dental on McPhillips Street. An exam shows whether the difference really is about shape. If position or bite turns out to be the reason, the conversation may move toward another treatment.

Resin is placed on top of the smaller tooth, frequently with little or no enamel taken away.
Length, width and corner shape are all compared with the partner tooth, not looked at in isolation.
A bigger mismatch can’t always be evened out well with added material, and you’d hear that plainly.
Teeth can look unequal for two quite different reasons. Working out which one applies tells you whether composite belongs in the discussion at all.
These are the mismatches that come from the tooth’s own outline, which makes them more likely candidates for careful build-up.
Here the tooth itself may be fine but standing in a different place, and orthodontics addresses that by moving the root as well as the crown.
Sometimes resin goes on both teeth to reach a balance, and sometimes on one. Ask what’s planned for each and why.
If an exam supports it, the work usually happens directly in the chair and can often be finished within one visit. Here’s roughly the order of events.
Request your visitYour dentist studies proportions, gum line and bite, then talks through what would change on each tooth.
Colour gets chosen at the outset, since a tooth drying out during treatment starts to look paler than it truly is.
After the enamel is conditioned and isolated, small amounts of composite establish the new length and line angles, each hardened by a curing light.
The bite is tested, then contours and texture are adjusted and polished so both teeth reflect light in a similar way.
You’ve probably studied these two teeth more than anybody else has. Telling the dentist which difference you notice most helps keep the plan focused on your actual concern.
Hoping for lighter teeth as well? Bring it up first, because resin stays the colour it was placed and whitening generally comes ahead of matching.

Plenty of people assume a slight difference isn’t worth mentioning at a dental visit. If it’s on your mind whenever you smile, that’s reason enough to find out what’s possible.
Adding composite over intact enamel often goes ahead without it, though a sensitive fracture or decay may change that.
Feel free to ask for a mirror along the way if you’d like to follow how the balance is coming along.
Added thickness can feel unfamiliar at first, so raise it if your lip or tongue keeps noticing a bulky area.
Keeping them balanced
A new edge is the part doing most of the visible work, and it’s also the part that takes force when you bite. Composite can chip or wear there, so a few habits help.
Tearing tape, biting nails or nibbling on something hard asks a lot of an added corner.
If the pair begins to look different again from stain or lost shine, ask whether refinishing might help.
A chip can often be repaired when what remains is sound, once someone has looked at why it happened.
If you clench or grind, mention it, since a guard may become part of the discussion about protecting thin additions.

Not necessarily. Some cases call for adding to one tooth, while others look more balanced when both are changed slightly. That depends on their proportions and your bite.
Aim for two teeth that sit well together, because natural teeth have several optical qualities and are rarely identical even when untouched, so expect a good balance and not a mirror image.
Added length wouldn’t address a tooth that has moved. In that situation, your dentist may raise orthodontics, which changes where the root sits instead of disguising it.
It can do both when the space is small and proportions allow. Adding too much width can create an awkward shape, a spot where plaque collects, or a conflict with your bite.
It may be, for very small refinements. Reshaping removes a little enamel, while bonding adds material. Ask which approach would change your teeth the least in your situation.
Balancing two teeth might involve taking a little away, moving them, or covering them. These pages explain each approach in more depth.
