If you’re interested in reshaping your smile, cosmetic contouring is an available option. This process involves using a small grinding polisher to reshape the teeth and thus resolve discrepancies in shape, length, and position. Such contouring can be used for a number of reasons without causing sensitivity or damage to the nerve.

Contouring can make smaller teeth appear larger and larger teeth look smaller. Cosmetic contouring can also be used to alter age related changes in the teeth. As a person gets older, the edges of the front teeth get flatter and the angles become more square. A cosmetic dentist can reshape such teeth so they’re not as square. In addition, cosmetic contouring is often combined with bleaching to improve the entire look and proportion of the mouth. In addition to any cosmetic procedures, proper oral hygiene is always crucial for the care of your teeth. For more information on cosmetic contouring, contact a dentist in your area.
