What is tooth contouring and reshaping?
Cosmetic contouring involves minor alterations or shaving of the teeth to smooth away rough edges or uneven teeth. The procedure involves the surface of the tooth being prepared, roughened, and bonded with composite material that is the same colour as your natural teeth. The final step is polishing to produce a natural shine.
The treatment aims to create natural looking restorations at an affordable cost. At Parrock Dental the procedure can be completed in one visit, which makes this a very popular treatment, but they do require care. Tooth bonding can chip or stain quite easily, giving it a limited aesthetic life.
Cosmetic contouring is a great short term fix for some dental issues, with treatments such as porcelain veneers providing a longer-term solution
Teeth contouring and reshaping for an improved smile
Discoloured teeth, gappy smiles, chipped, fractured, or odd shaped teeth can all be fixed with tooth contouring and reshaping in Gravesend and Northfleet.
Tooth contouring after teeth straightening treatment is also very popular, as orthodontic methods focus on realigning your teeth only and not fixing chipped or broken teeth. These types of dental issues can be quick to correct, and the cost of tooth contouring is relatively inexpensive. A beautiful smile can really boost your confidence and give you a new look
The tooth contouring treatment process
Just the right amount of tooth enamel needed to reshape your teeth will then be removed. The simple process will even out long teeth and reshape others to leave you with a good bite and alignment.

Combining treatments in this way can help your dentist here in Gravesend and Northfleet fill in gaps and chips in your teeth, leaving you with a well aligned smile.
