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.
Why Choose Teeth Reshaping?
Conservative & Gentle
Reshaping focuses on subtle refinements, keeping the approach as minimal as possible while improving the overall look.
Smoother, More Even Edges
It can help soften sharp corners and uneven edges so your teeth look more symmetrical when you smile.
Pairs Well With Other Options
In some cases, reshaping works nicely alongside whitening or bonding to fine-tune the final result.
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.
