INTRODUCTION
You exercise, eat healthfully, and care for your hair and skin. And, all in all, you're satisfied with the way you look. Except for one thing: you've never been happy with your smile. Your canines are as pointy as Count Dracula's. Or you have a chip out of a front tooth.
Ready for some great news? Your dentist can remove small amounts of tooth enamel, contouring your problem tooth into a more pleasing shape. And the procedure is relatively quick, simple, painless, and inexpensive.
Tooth reshaping, or dental contouring, can change the length, shape or position of your teeth.
Some of the ways tooth reshaping can improve your teeth are by:
Making the teeth appear less crowded
Smoothing chips
Reshaping fractures
Decreasing overlaps
Smoothing out pits or grooves in the enamel
Refining the edges of worn biting surfaces
Repairing small imperfections before or after orthodontia
A small amount of dental contouring can make a huge difference in the way you feel about your appearance. A good cosmetic dentist can give you a smile that Mother Nature didn't.
