Tooth Contouring or Reshaping



Tooth contouring or reshaping is a conservative and inexpensive procedure to help improve the appearance of the smile. Dr. Anna Lee suggests, "this procedure is best for patients who just need minimal adjustments or repairs to improve the look and feel of their teeth."

·      Advantages
-cost, an inexpensive way to improve the look of the teeth
-painless, no anesthesia, no discomfort during the procedure
-improves health of teeth, minimal reshaping/contouring of overlapped teeth may decrease the risk of tooth decay & gum disease

·      Disadvantages
-risk of tooth damage (too much enamel reduction)
-teeth become sensitive (too much enamel reduction)
