Tooth Contouring and Reshaping
The reshaping of a your teeth is a procedure that
involves the removal of a very small amount of tooth structure to help achieve a more
desirable smile. Chipped or fractured areas are smoothed out and specific angles or edges
can be rounded or squared. Contouring creates better alignment and can create a more
feminine or masculine smile. It is sometimes done to prevent chipped areas from getting
worse. Tooth reshaping is a conservative way to improve the teeth. Since teeth can become
weaker if large amounts of enamel are removed, this procedure is limited to minor changes
or combined with veneers or bonding for a terrific smile.
