What Tooth Reshaping Involves
Contouring is a dental procedure that provides cosmetic benefits. This procedure is much like sanding in that it involves removing just a tiny bit of enamel from the top or sides of the teeth to reshape individual teeth. This sculpting procedure works best for the front teeth and is used for teeth that are:
- Chipped
- Pointed
- Overlapping
