Teeth Reshaping

Small Changes That Can Make A Big Difference

Teeth reshaping (also called cosmetic contouring) is a conservative way to refine the shape of your teeth by smoothing small chips, uneven edges, or minor overlap. It’s often a good choice if you like your smile overall and just want it to look a bit more balanced and polished.

How Teeth Reshaping Works

Teeth reshaping is typically used for minor cosmetic changes—like smoothing a small chip, rounding a sharp edge, or adjusting slight unevenness. We’ll start by checking your enamel thickness, bite, and the areas you’d like to improve to make sure contouring is a safe option for you.

If reshaping is appropriate, we’ll gently polish and refine targeted areas, then re-check your bite and comfort. The goal is a natural look that still feels like your own teeth.

If you’re hoping for a bigger change, we can talk through alternatives such as bonding or veneers, and help you choose a plan that fits your timeline and goals.
