It may surprise you to learn that a majority of smile enhancement work can be accomplished in a matter of hours and in a single office visit. I’m referring to reshaping and contouring. And it is used by experienced dentist to make small changes or to correct irregularities. However, this procedure is best performed on otherwise healthy (free of gingivitis, cavities or deep cracks).
- Crooked teeth
- Chipped teeth
- Teeth with rough or jagged edges
- Overlapping teeth
All these irregularities can be corrected by a seasoned cosmetic dentist through reshaping and contouring procedures — often in a single visit.
Even short teeth that make for an overly gummy smile can be corrected through tooth lengthening.
So if you have a smile that you’ve often thought could be improved with a little tinkering, visit a cosmetic dentist to see if reshaping and contouring is the answer for you. You may just walk in with a smile slightly askew, and walk out with a picture perfect bite.
