2. Tooth Contouring and Reshaping

Cosmetic dentistry

This quick, inexpensive, and non-invasive procedure is used to fix dental issues such as overlaps, shallow pits and grooves in the enamel, worn edges, and chipped teeth. The dentist uses a polishing instrument for the removal of a tiny amount of enamel and it reforms the tooth. It carries the enamel removal procedure out only after dentists confirm through x-rays that the teeth requiring reshaping are strong enough to withstand some enamel loss. They complete the process with the smoothing and polishing off the edges of the newly contoured tooth. The process usually requires a follow-up visit after the first visit.
