If minor cosmetic dental problems make you afraid to smile, cosmetic contouring may be right for you. This procedure, also called enameloplasty or tooth reshaping, it can fix minor imperfections like slightly misshapen teeth. Here are few things you need to know about this cosmetic dental procedure.

HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED?

Cosmetic contouring is a fairly simple procedure. We will use tools like small drill to gently remove some of your teeth’s enamel to change the shape or length. Once your teeth have been contoured to our satisfaction, they will be polished to make them look as appealing as possible. Once your teeth have been polished, you'll be sent home to enjoy your new look.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

The main benefit of cosmetic contouring is that it provides instant results. The whole procedure generally takes less than half an hour, so you'll only need one short appointment with us to get the results you want. There are no nerves in your enamel, so there is no need to worry about pain. This makes cosmetic contouring a good choice for those who are anxious about dental visits or worried about the pain associated with getting a perfect smile. Another advantage of this procedure is that it's permanent. Enamel doesn't grow back, so once your teeth have been reshaped to your satisfaction, you won't need to worry about getting the procedure redone in the future.

IS COSMETIC CONTOURING RIGHT FOR YOU?

This procedure is ideal for people with minor cosmetic dental problems. If you're generally happy with your smile but just wish your teeth were a bit shorter or slightly more even in size, this procedure may be the perfect fit for you. On the other hand, if your teeth are very crooked, crowded or misshapen, your dentist may recommend procedures that will give you more dramatic results. More serious cosmetic problems can be repaired with braces, veneers, bonding and other methods. Our team at Anjana’s dental care can help you choose the procedure that is right for your teeth.
