Enamel Contouring

When teeth are slightly uneven or crowded, enamel shaping may be a good way to improve their appearance. It is usually quick, painless, and does not require anesthesia.

This treatment can be used to fix a chipped tooth or to reshape teeth that have become pointed from grinding.

Although enamel shaping is a good option for minor cosmetic problems, more major problems may require orthodontic treatment or other restorative treatment.

During this procedure, a diamond bur is used to remove unwanted tooth structure. A finishing bur is then used to slenderize and contour teeth to achieve the most natural appearance possible. Teeth are then polished and may be treated with fluoride.

Enamel Contouring is a good way to make a dramatic difference by making only subtle changes. Contact us to find out if this is the right treatment for you.
