What is tooth contouring and reshaping?
Tooth reshaping, or contouring, is one of few instant
treatments now available in cosmetic dentistry. Dental reshaping and contouring is a
procedure to correct crooked teeth, chipped teeth, cracked teeth or even overlapping teeth
in just one session.
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 laminate
can create a beautiful smile when performed by a cosmetic dentist, with no discomfort to
you. Tooth reshaping, or dental contouring, is commonly used to alter the length, shape or
position of your teeth.
