Dental contouring is an easy, quick, and affordable way to improve your smile by improving the shape of your teeth. If you think your teeth are too long, misshapen, or if you have “vampire teeth” (pointy bicuspids), you may well benefit from dental contouring.
Before recommending dental contouring, your dentist will take X-rays to make sure you have a sufficient amount of, and strong enough, tooth enamel for the procedure. If so, the contouring will be performed using shaping tools to sculpt the slightest bit of tooth enamel from the teeth in question. Smoothing and polishing will then take place.
If you are unhappy with the shape of your teeth and smile due to any of the following reasons, you may be a candidate for dental contouring:
