BeforeThe after image is the unretouched simulation returned by the same Smyly™ engine that builds patient previews; only our watermark was added. Your preview is built from your own photo.
A peg lateral is a lateral incisor (the tooth beside your front tooth) that grew noticeably smaller and more cone-shaped than it should be: a common, harmless developmental quirk that nonetheless unbalances an otherwise even smile.
Treatment builds the tooth up to its correct proportions with composite bonding or a veneer, closing the small spaces around it. It's often a single-visit change with an outsized effect on symmetry.
The honest limits of this preview
None. A preview can't see bone, bite, gum health or anything beneath the surface. Only a clinical exam can. Treat it as a conversation starter for your dentist, never as a promised result.
Worth asking your dentist
- Bonding or a veneer for my peg lateral, and why?
- Will the built-up tooth match its neighbours in translucency, not just shade?
- Is any of the space around it better closed with short aligner treatment first?
