Anyone ever had there teeth 'filed down' by a dentidst?!


Question: Anyone ever had there teeth 'filed down' by a dentidst!?
Hi there

I have a very small chip on one of my front teeth!.
My dentisit said I have 2 options: either fill the chip in which does not last very long or file the 2 front teeth down slightly to even it all out!. He said they would only need half a millimeter filed off!.
I dont like the appearance of my front teeth because they stick out slightly and are slightly longer than the other teeth so I feel that I look like Bugs Bunny lol!
So I quite like the sound of getting them shortened slightly!.
I should have wore a brace when I was little but my mum kept forgetting to take me to orthodentist appointments so it didnt happen!.
When I was younger I had my chip filled in and it fell out a few years later!.
Anyway if I have my teeth filed down it may improve the bugs bunny look but im worried that this will seriously damage my teeth (even though a dentist has recommended it)
Has anyone out there had there teeth filed!? where you happy/unhappy with the results!? are your teeth really sensitive nowWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I haven't had any at the front filed but I had a chip or two at the back left done!. It was simple, quick, painless and I've had no ill-effects - and I think if it's going to be as little as half a millimetre(!) anyway, no-one else will even see the difference, in all likelihood!. Get it done by all means!.
It's never too late to have a brace, either, if your choppers are really bothering you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My two incisors were fang like!. I could imitate a vampire pretty good!. I requested they be filed down and I am happy with the results!. It didn't hurt to have it done and didn't take any time!. So, I recommend that option!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, I also had a chip filed down!. No big deal, doesn't hurt a bit, and the result looked great!. No sensitivity!. Go for it!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Odd!. He should have given you more options!.

1!. Crown
2!. Lumineers
3!. Veneers
4!. Filling (resin)

I would get either a crown done or a veneer!.

Veneers are expensive but painless!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've never had it done but I would go with the file!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
