Is it possible to get some kind of procedure or surgery or ANYTHING that would make my canines/cuspids longer and sharper or look longer and sharper. This is just for cosmetic reasons, I think that kind of look would be cool. :)

  1. It's possible with crowns to make them appear longer.  

    However you need to be careful because your canines guide your lower jaw in side to side movements (grinding a tough piece of meat for example) and protrusive movements (sliding your lower jaw forward).

    If they're made too long, that can affect your range of motion and can create a parafunctional habit.  A parafunctional habit is the habitual exercise of a body part in a way that is other than the most common use of that body part


  2. yes....crowns would do it.....but any cosmetic dentistry is not covered by insurance.
