Are you looking for a little balance in your smile?
Dental recontouring, or the reshaping of teeth, is a procedure that involves the removal of minute amounts of tooth enamel to change the shape of your teeth. Recontouring can adjust a tooth's shape, length or surface. This minimally invasive procedure is a painless relatively quick procedure with immediately visible results.
Recontouring can provide a great solution for a number of problems including:
- Smoothing out uneven enamel
- Fixing small chips
- Adjusting uneven teeth
- Removing small tooth overlap
The full procedure will involve an initial consultation appointment with our Aurora dentist, Dr. Shasha to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for recontouring. An X-ray will be taken to determine whether your enamel is thick enough to undergo the procedure.
While recontouring is a great tool for fixing minor problems, a slightly more invasive or comprehensive solution might be needed for more complex issues, such as minimal tooth movement orthodontics (Invisalign), bonding, or porcelain veneers.
Contact our Aurora dentist, Dr. Shasha and the team at Smiles Dental Aurora, to find out if recontouring might be the right option for you!
