Tooth Reshaping and Contouring

Tooth reshaping and contouring, also known as enameloplasty or odontoplasty, is a cosmetic dental technique used to make minor adjustments to the shape, length, and position of teeth. This process is particularly effective for correcting:

• Minor chips or cracks
• Slightly crooked or overlapping teeth
• Teeth with irregular lengths
• Small issues with bite alignment

By carefully removing small amounts of enamel and reshaping the tooth, Dr. Mobasseri and Dr. De Rosier can create a more even, symmetrical smile in just one visit.

This cosmetic procedure offers multiple advantages for those seeking a quick smile enhancement:

• Quick and Painless: Tooth reshaping and contouring is usually completed in a single appointment, and the procedure is virtually painless since only enamel is affected.
• No Anesthesia Needed: Unlike more invasive procedures, tooth reshaping doesn’t typically require anesthesia, making it a stress-free option for patients.
• Improved Symmetry: This treatment can provide a more balanced and harmonious look by correcting small imperfections in the shape or length of your teeth.
• Low Cost: Tooth contouring is generally more affordable than other cosmetic procedures, making it an accessible option for many patients.

This quick and straightforward procedure can make a noticeable difference in your smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.

At Point Loma Comprehensive Dental, we strive to make each visit comfortable and convenient. Here’s what to expect during your tooth reshaping and contouring appointment:

• Consultation and Assessment: Dr. Mobasseri and Dr. De Rosier will examine your teeth and discuss your goals. We’ll determine if tooth reshaping is the best option based on your unique needs.
• Contouring and Shaping: Dr. Mobasseri and Dr. De Rosier use specialized dental tools to gently remove small amounts of enamel from specific areas of the tooth. This process is carefully controlled to ensure a natural, symmetrical result.
• Smoothing and Polishing: After reshaping, the teeth are polished to create a smooth, natural appearance. This final touch enhances the overall look of your smile and leaves you with a comfortable feel.
