Cosmetic Tooth Recontouring
Recontouring or reshaping the teeth (also called odontoplasty, enameloplasty, stripping or slenderizing) is a procedure in which small amounts of tooth enamel are removed to change a tooth's length, shape or surface. The procedure is usually done to improve appearance by creating more harmony or balance in the look of the smile.
Recontouring is the most conservative cosmetic treatment.
It is a quick and painless procedure whose results can be seen immediately.
Fixing small chips
Smoothing out bulges or pits in a tooth's enamel
Adjusting slight irregular tooth shapes caused by too many or uneven teeth
Adjusting the length of the canines (the pointed teeth on the side of your mouth)
Recontouring can also improve overall dental health by removing crevices or overlaps between teeth in which plaque or tartar can accumulate. |
