Reshaping and Contouring – What is tooth reshaping and contouring?
Tooth reshaping, or contouring, is one of few “instant” treatments now available in cosmetic dentistry. Dental reshaping and contouring is a procedure that can aesthetically improve certain crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth in just one session. Tooth reshaping and dental contouring, is commonly used to alter the length, shape or position of your teeth. Contouring teeth may also help correct small problems with bite. It is common for bonding to be combined with tooth reshaping. This procedure is ideal for candidates with normal healthy teeth, but who want subtle changes to their smile. 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 veneer can create a beautiful smile when performed by a cosmetic dentist, with no discomfort to you.
