Cosmetic Contouring

Dental cosmetic contouring, also known as tooth reshaping or enameloplasty, is a minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure that involves gently reshaping the outer surfaces of teeth to improve their appearance. This technique is often used to correct minor imperfections in the shape, length, or texture of teeth, resulting in a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Here’s what you can expect from cosmetic contouring:

What Does Cosmetic Contouring Treat?

Cosmetic contouring is typically used to address minor dental issues, such as:

Chipped or uneven teeth: Smoothing out rough or jagged edges.
Overlapping or crowded teeth: Adjusting the shape to create a more aligned appearance.
Minor irregularities in tooth length: Shortening teeth that are slightly longer than others.
Small surface imperfections: Buffing out pits or ridges on the tooth enamel.
Minor bite issues: Subtle adjustments to improve bite balance.

Is Cosmetic Contouring Right for You?

Cosmetic contouring is ideal for those with minor cosmetic imperfections who want a subtle improvement to their smile. It’s important to note that this procedure is limited to small changes in tooth structure. If you have more significant issues, such as large chips or gaps, other cosmetic treatments like bonding, veneers, or orthodontics may be recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dental cosmetic contouring, and what can it fix?

Dental cosmetic contouring, also known as tooth reshaping, is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances the appearance of your teeth by gently removing small amounts of enamel. It’s used to correct minor imperfections like chipped, uneven, or slightly overlapping teeth, as well as small surface irregularities. The goal is to create a more symmetrical and balanced smile without needing more invasive treatments like crowns or veneers.

Is cosmetic contouring a painful procedure, and how long does it take?

Cosmetic contouring is a painless and quick procedure, usually taking about 30 minutes. Since it only involves reshaping the outer layer of the tooth (enamel), no anesthesia is typically required. After the reshaping, your dentist will polish your teeth for a smooth, natural finish, and you’ll see the results immediately after the appointment!
