Who is a candidate for tooth reshaping?
If you want your teeth to appear less crowded, lack
chips and fractures, have decreased overlaps or to be without pits or grooves in the
enamel, this procedure should be discussed with your cosmetic dentist. With a little
dental contouring, you can make a huge difference in the way you feel about your smile.
Good dentistry can give you a smile that is the envy of others. Tooth contouring
by a dentist does require that you have normal, healthy teeth.
Tooth reshaping, or tooth sculpting, is a safe and
conservative way to improve your smile. Teeth may become weaker if large amounts of enamel
are removed, tooth reshaping should be limited to minor changes or combined with veneers
or bonding for the best smile.
