My front two teeth are not in shape they got chipped from bottom a little bit four years ago when I was playing and fell. They look kinda asymmetric I want them in shape suggest me a long-term solution without cons
Thanks.
Hi
There are three options depending on amount of chipping
Rebuilding with tooth coloured filling material: most non invasive procedure
Ceramic veneer if only the edge is chipped off and much of the tooth structure is there: least amount of tooth cutting required around 0.5 mm
Full jacket crown if nt mch tooth structure is there to support: requires around 1-1.5 mm cutting from all sides
Thanks.
To make the tooth symmetrical we need to build the chipped portion of your teeth with a tooth like material. This would enhance your esthetic appearance. Such materials have good life.
Slight shaping of the tooth structure to create symmetry is possible. But if removed in excess would result in loss of enamel and result in sensitivity.

If your problem is minor in nature then an odontoplasty can be done.
