Tooth Contouring

A Simple and Effective Solution for Your Smile

Do you have minor imperfections in your teeth that you wish you could fix? Perhaps you have a tooth that is slightly too long or jagged, or maybe you have small chips or overlaps in your teeth. These imperfections can be a source of self-consciousness, making you feel less confident in your smile. Fortunately, tooth contouring is a simple and effective solution that can help you achieve the perfect smile you’ve always wanted.

What is Tooth Contouring?

Tooth contouring is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves reshaping and smoothing the enamel of your teeth. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can be completed in a single visit to the dentist’s office. With tooth contouring, your dentist can reshape your teeth to improve their overall appearance and create a more even, symmetrical smile.

Who Might Want Tooth Contouring?

Tooth contouring is an excellent option for patients with minor imperfections in their teeth, such as small chips or overlaps, or teeth that are slightly too long or jagged. It is also a popular choice for patients who want to improve the appearance of their smile without more invasive procedures like braces or veneers.

What Does the Process Involve?

The tooth contouring process is straightforward and typically takes less than an hour to complete. First, Dr. Kinn will carefully examine your teeth to determine the areas that need to be contoured. Then, he will use a special dental instrument to reshape and smooth the enamel of your teeth. This process is painless and usually does not require anesthesia. Finally, Dr. Kinn will polish your teeth to give them a beautiful, natural-looking shine. The entire process is usually complete in just one visit to our office, and the results are visible immediately.

Is There Any Aftercare Involved?

After your tooth contouring procedure, you may experience some mild sensitivity in the treated teeth. This is normal and should resolve within a few days. We recommend that you avoid consuming hot or cold foods and drinks for a few hours after your procedure. Overall, tooth contouring is a minimally invasive and low-risk procedure that offers excellent results with minimal discomfort or downtime.
