Any individual wishing for their teeth to appear more in line and less uneven can visit us for a consultation. Tooth contouring can make changes to teeth by removing small amounts of the tooth’s surface. Treatment is limited to small alterations, so as not to damage the enamel too much.

A subtle change to a particular tooth can make all the difference to a person’s smile, thus increasing self-esteem. Furthermore, the procedure is very quick and easy.
Small amounts of enamel will be removed using a dental sanding drill. The last part of the process is to polish the teeth. This will give them a natural appearance and a smooth surface. For optimum results, the dentist may wish the patient to attend a follow-up appointment.
Usually, an anaesthetic is not necessary. However, for those individuals who experience anxiety about the slight pain, an injection may be provided.
Alongside contouring, a teeth whitening procedure can be carried out. Once the teeth are a whiter shade the contouring procedure will look even more effective.
Another alternative is the dental veneer. This method is often used in cases where a tooth has become severely chipped or discoloured.
Those people worried about the stigma attached to wearing braces could benefit from Invisalign invisible braces, which have an almost invisible appearance.
