Tooth contouring refers to a procedure where your Coppell cosmetic dentist re-shapes your tooth enamel using a series of dental sculpting and polishing tools. This conservative procedure is generally accomplished in a single visit. Before proceeding with contouring, Dr. Lee will first want to examine your x-rays to ensure that your enamel is strong enough to handle shaping.
If you have good enamel, tooth contouring can fix several common smile imperfections, such as:
In the case of overlapping teeth, contouring can help you avoid orthodontic therapy and actually improves your dental health by opening up spaces where plaque and tartar like to hide.
That answer depends solely on your individual smile goals and your idea of what a beautiful smile looks like. If you are interested in completely making over your smile, tooth contouring can complement other cosmetic procedures, such as whitening or porcelain veneers, to help you achieve the smile you want. Talk to Dr. Lee about your goals and together, you can develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs.
