What is teeth contouring and reshaping?

Teeth reshaping, or contouring, is a one visit, instant treatment now available in cosmetic dentistry.  It can correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth in just one session.

The dental contouring procedure can even be a substitute for braces under certain circumstances.

It is also a procedure of subtle changes. A few millimeters of reduction and a few millimeters of tooth-colored laminate can create a beautiful smile with no discomfort to you.

Tooth reshaping, or dental contouring, is commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of your teeth.

Pros and Cons of a tooth contouring and reshaping

Advantages:
We can remove only a small amount of tooth enamel, contouring your problem tooth into a more pleasing shape for an improved smile. The tooth contouring procedure is quick, simple, painless, and inexpensive.

Disadvantages:
There are limits.  You may be at risk for tooth breakage and decay if too much enamel is removed your teeth. If your teeth were uneven because you grind them, they'll become uneven again until the grinding issue is resolved.
