It is not uncommon for some people to be born with smaller and narrower teeth called "peg laterals". In this case, we worked with an orthodontist to align her teeth and position these smaller teeth in the right space. Shortly after completion of orthodontics, she came to see us so we could "build up" her front teeth. Using tooth color filling material, Dr. Lin meticulously hand sculpted and added composite to her existing tooth to create a composite veneer.

Composite veneers are an additive procedure. This means that no tooth structure was removed or damaged during this procedure. Once she is an adult, porcelain veneers may be an option to further improve the color, shape, and size of these smaller teeth.
