What is tooth reshaping?
Tooth reshaping is a minimally invasive procedure with transformative outcomes. Also known as enamel contouring or odontoplasty, tooth reshaping alters your teeth’ shape, size, and surface for optimal aesthetics.
Tooth reshaping effectively addresses minor blemishes like small chips, uneven edges, pointed cusps, or overlapping contours for a uniform, harmonious smile. Unlike dental veneers or crowns, which require several dental appointments, tooth reshaping can be completed in a single visit.
What can I expect from the tooth reshaping procedure?
Cosmetic tooth reshaping is a fast and simple procedure to enhance the form of your teeth. Here’s what you can expect from the procedure.
- Consultation: It all starts with a consultation with our dentist to determine your suitability for the procedure. Although the procedure involves removing a small amount of the tooth structure, patients with a thinned-down enamel may not qualify, as altering it weakens the teeth further and leads to sensitivity and other issues. Tooth reshaping is a permanent procedure—once we change the enamel, it will never grow back. This permanence requires careful consideration and precision, ensuring we achieve the desired aesthetic improvements without compromising the tooth’s integrity.
- Treatment planning: The dentist will identify your tooth imperfections and develop a customized plan based on your goals and expectations. Enamel reshaping effortlessly addresses small chips, slight tooth overlaps, and other minor flaws.
- Reshaping: The doctor will use special instruments to gently and precisely sculpt and contour the enamel to achieve the desired shape, size, and texture. The procedure is painless and doesn’t require anesthetics.
- Polishing for perfection: After enamel contouring, we’ll polish your teeth to smooth out rough edges for a glossy, natural-looking finish. The reshaped teeth match seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.
Your reshaped teeth don’t need any special maintenance. Simply maintain them like other teeth by brushing and flossing them religiously. Also, schedule an appointment with a dentist bi-annually for routine exams and cleanings. If you grind and clench your teeth chronically, now is the time to consider a personalized nightguard to prevent dental damage.
What are the benefits of teeth reshaping?
Tooth reshaping involves making a small sacrifice to reap maximum benefits. The following are the benefits of tooth reshaping.
