Dental contouring is performed using dental instruments and abrasion techniques. Before the reshaping, dental X-rays may be taken to ensure that your teeth are healthy. Teeth will be marked with a pen to highlight areas that need sculpting. To artfully eliminate or minimize imperfections on the surface of the teeth, a sanding instrument is used and sandpaper-like strips may be used to contour the sides of the teeth. Finally, the teeth are smoothed and polished.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN TEETH RESHAPING?
- Dental contouring involves removing small portions of the tooth enamel to improve your smile.
- The procedure is permanent and doesn’t usually require anesthesia or recovery time.
- Because tooth enamel is so thin, reshaping results in subtle changes – it can’t realign teeth.
- Your professional dentist will examine your teeth and diagnose how the reshaping will accomplish your goal of smile enhancement or correct a bite problem if you have one and to ensure that the teeth being reshaped will not only look better but also will be healthy.
- Reshaping of the root surfaces is done to protect you from gum disease. An x-ray is required to isolate and protect the sensitive inner tissue which is the pulp.
You will probably feel some vibration as we gently sculpt your tooth or teeth, and then polish them smooth. Reshaping one tooth usually takes less than half an hour — and the results will be obvious as soon as you look in the mirror! Sometimes reshaped teeth can be a little sensitive to hot or cold after the procedure, but this should last no more than a day or two.
