What is Teeth Feminization?
Teeth Feminization is done by shaping the tooth, its size, and its alignment to mimic typically softer, rounder dental traits associated with female characteristics. This can be done by contouring of the teeth, adjustments in their alignment, and other aesthetic procedures.
Based on your starting point, for a full transformation, you might need a combination of traditional cosmetic dentistry like dental implants and teeth cleaning to create a clean and healthy base and then have an aesthetic consultation with a cosmetic dentist.
Dr. Naysan has worked with various celebrities and holds a huge roster of satisfied clients. What sets him above the fold is the cross-collaborative work that he does with plastic surgeons and orthodontists. His involvement in AI technology for Dentistry and holistic approach ensures he takes great care in handling every patient’s aesthetic goals to help them achieve their ideal beauty.
The main goal of a tooth feminization procedure is to help individuals align their physical appearance with their gender identity, boosting confidence and comfort in their own skin. This procedure is not only a physical transformation but also an emotional and psychological support to the transitioning process.
The Appearance of Feminine Teeth: What is a Feminine Appearance?
Feminine teeth are often smaller and shorter compared to masculine teeth. The teeth edges might be more rounded, with the canines appearing less pointed and more flattened. A feminine smile often shows a more rounded arch in the arrangement of the teeth. The front teeth on the upper jaw, especially the central incisors, might be slightly more dominant but not overly pronounced compared to the lower teeth, contributing to a softer, more feminine appearance.
The proportions of feminine teeth often lean towards a more balanced ratio between the width and the height of the front upper teeth, giving a delicate appearance and a higher gum line with a moderate display of gums when smiling. This trait should be balanced, as excessive gum display can detract from the overall aesthetic.
Teeth Feminization Procedure Explained
Digital imaging and 3D printing are some of the technologies that have improved the precision of dental modifications and have made teeth feminization more accessible and effective. At our Cosmetic Dentistry office in Beverly Hills, we leverage 3D technology daily. During your initial consultation, you can expect to speak at length about your goals, scan your teeth and face, and find the best solution for your features that can highlight your natural beauty.
Post-consultation, our experts will have drafted a detailed plan that includes the types of procedures needed, the timeline, and the expected outcomes. This plan will be tailored to meet your specific aesthetic goals.
The actual procedure may involve multiple sessions, depending on the complexity. Procedures can include dental bonding, porcelain veneers, and sometimes orthodontics for alignment, each with its own recovery time and application.
Improvement in your smile and facial symmetry is just one of the leading factors creating a more feminine perception of your face.

The Cost of Teeth Feminization
To adjust the shape and size of the teeth, we can use dental bonding, typically costing between $300 and $600 per tooth. While for a more dramatic transformation, porcelain veneers are popular. These can range from $100 to $2,500 per tooth, so the cost of a full mouth of porcelain veneers can be anything from $12,000 to $90,000.
In addition to the procedures above, if you still need alignment changes, orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners might be a good choice. Traditional braces can cost between $3,000 and $7,000 for a full treatment, while clear aligners like Invisalign range from $3,000 to $8,000.
The most popular procedure to alter the gum line for a more balanced smile is gum contouring, it can cost between $50 and $350 per tooth, depending on the extent of the work required.
Lastly, a great option for overall tooth appearance is professional teeth whitening which can range from $300 to $800 for a full treatment, depending on the technique used and the desired level of whiteness.
The cost of teeth feminization can vary widely based on the extent of the procedure and the clinic’s location in California. Insurance coverage for such procedures also varies, requiring careful financial planning.
The Legal Implication of Teeth Feminization
California is one of the leading states in mandating comprehensive insurance coverage for gender-affirming treatments under both public and private insurance plans. The California Insurance Gender Nondiscrimination Act, implemented in 2013. requires all health insurance plans, including Medi-Cal (California’s Medicaid program), to cover gender-affirming treatments as necessary medical services. This coverage includes surgeries and other medical procedures related to gender transition, although the specifics of coverage for cosmetic procedures like dental feminization can vary by plan and individual medical necessity.

Should you get Facial Feminization Surgery or a Teeth Feminization Procedure?
Deciding between facial feminization and jaw surgery or a teeth feminization procedure involves considering your specific aesthetic goals, the extent of the changes you want, and various practical factors like cost, recovery time, and potential risks.
For a more minimally invasive invasive experience, lower recovery time, and lower cost you might want to choose the cosmetic dentistry route. These procedures can still give you a more rounded shape appearance, altering your mouth, jaw, and gums, you can even opt for a full mouth reconstruction. Wisdom teeth removal can also change the look of your lower jaw, making it more narrow in the place of jaw contouring surgery. You can discuss the expected results with your dentist, but the results might be less drastic than getting surgery.
Facial plastic surgery like chin surgery, FFS procedures, a brow lift, forehead reconstruction, lower and upper lip augmentation, and facial feminization surgery like Adam’s apple minimalization with the combination of hormone therapy will change your face shape more drastically, but will also cost you thousands with an extensive recovery time. The recovery time often requires weeks to months, with a significant amount of time needed for swelling and bruising to subside. The risks are higher, including those associated with anesthesia and long-term surgical complications. Consulting with a surgeon will help you understand the extent of the changes needed and recovery time.
Ultimately, the choice between surgical procedures or teeth feminization should be based on a thorough evaluation of your personal goals, discussions with healthcare providers, and careful consideration of the implications of each procedure.

FAQ - Teeth Feminization Procedures
Good candidates for teeth feminization are individuals who wish to soften their features to enhance feminine characteristics. This procedure applies to male or female patients.
Teeth feminization procedures are generally not painful, as they are performed under local anesthesia when necessary. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity may be experienced after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days.
Like any cosmetic procedure, teeth feminization carries some risks, though they are generally minimal. Potential risks include tooth sensitivity, damage to the enamel, and gum irritation. When veneers are used, there is a slight risk that they could detach and would need to be reattached or replaced.
The difference lies in the holistic approach’s broader perspective on health. While general dentistry focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of oral diseases, holistic dentistry considers the patient’s overall well-being, seeking to minimize the impact of dental treatments on the body.
Porcelain veneers are completely safe, especially if they are made from high-quality, bio-compatible porcelain and applied using minimal intervention techniques.
Minimally invasive dentistry is an approach that conserves the tooth structure. It prevents disease or intercepts its progress and keeps dental interventions to a minimum.
This dental technique preserves your natural tissue and minimizes the impact on your overall health. Techniques include using sealants to protect teeth, air abrasion to remove decay gently, and choosing inlays or onlays instead of full crowns when possible.
