Enamel Contouring / Teeth Shaping
To remove minor amounts of enamel in order shape teeth
Do you have a small imperfection in your smile that you are insecure about? You may want to consider tooth reshaping, also called enamel contouring.
What is it?
Enamel Contouring is a highly effective procedure that removes minor amounts of tooth enamel to change the shape of one or more teeth. The procedure quickly and painlessly alters chipped, cracked, or overlapping teeth.
Enamel contouring can fix imperfections or problems such as:
- slightly overlapping or irregularly shaped teeth
- tiny chips in the teeth
- excessively pointy cuspids
The Procedure
After the dentist ensures the teeth are healthy, they will mark the area of the teeth that needs sculpting. A sanding instrument is used to eliminate or minimize imperfections on the surface of the teeth. The final step is to smooth and polish the teeth.
