Cosmetic Dentistry?!?

My teeth are relatively straight, except my canine teeth (or "eye" teeth) stick out way further then the rest of my teeth, and there very pointy. They're also uneven, one tooth is way longer than the other. How can I get this fix with cosmetic dentistry? What would they have to do (bonding, reshaping, recountouring, veneers) ? How much would it cost about, and what age at the youngest would they be able to do it (im 15 btw). Thanks in advance!

They would more than likely reshape the teeth and do bonding. I was just in the dentist this morning to get a cleaning and I talked to them about bonding. My teeth are perfectly straight, but the way my eye teeth are shaped there is a bit of a gap...nothing major but since I'm anal about my teeth, I want to get it fixed. They said it would cost around $220.00 PER TOOTH...and thats w/ insurance. Its because its considered cosmetic surgery. Hope this helped!

BTW you could get it done at your age.

you can just get them sanded down a bit from your dentist to make them even & not as long

Depending on the amount your teeth are sticking out and down, you could have simple enameloplasty(reshaping and recontouring) done. This should not be done if a lot of tooth structure needs to b removed as this would cuase sensitivity. Also first keep on eye on ur teeth and make sure that they are not moving. If your canines are sticking out already,you probably have impacted 3rd molars. You would want to consider removing these as they will cause even further crowding. Generally between 18 -24.
Good Luck
