Cosmetic contouring (or recontouring) is the reshaping of a
patient's own teeth. This process involves removal of a very
small amount of tooth structure to help achieve a more desirable
appearance. Chipped or fractured areas are smoothed out and
specific angles or edges can be rounded or squared to alter
the way your smile looks.
Contouring can create better alignment or create a more feminine
or masculine appearance. It is sometimes done to prevent chipped
areas from getting worse. Recontouring of the teeth is generally
done with no discomfort to the patient and no anesthetic. Often
it is done in conjunction with bleaching as a very conservative
and inexpensive approach to a beautiful smile. |
