Teeth reshaping, or dental contouring or odontoplasty is a cosmetic dentistry procedure performed by professionals to enhance the aesthetic appeal of teeth and smiles. This procedure involves the precise removal of small amounts of enamel or tooth structure to refine and reshape the teeth' overall size, shape, or length. This procedure is typically done to correct imperfections such as chipped or uneven teeth, overlapping teeth, irregular tooth contouring, or small gaps between teeth.
When there are small irregularities, chips, or rough spots on the tooth surfaces that can be improved to enhance the overall appearance.
For addressing excessively pointed or unevenly shaped teeth that affect smile symmetry.
In cases with slight overcrowding of teeth, reshaping can help create a more balanced and uniform appearance.
Adjust the length of slightly longer or uneven teeth, achieving a more harmonious smile.
As part of a smile makeover, teeth reshaping complements other cosmetic treatments like dental bonding or veneers to achieve optimal aesthetic results.
Bonding is a dental procedure where a tooth-coloured resin material is applied and bonded to the teeth to improve their appearance. During teeth reshaping, it addresses minor imperfections such as small chips, cracks, or gaps. The resin is carefully applied and sculpted to enhance the teeth' shape, size, or colour. Bonding is a quick and relatively inexpensive option for improving the aesthetics of teeth without the need for more invasive procedures like veneers or crowns.
