By Dr. Keerthi Sudireddy
Tooth reshaping (contouring) is a fast, conservative cosmetic treatment that smooths small irregularities, uneven edges or slightly pointed teeth for a more balanced smile.
Quick answer
Tooth contouring gently removes tiny amounts of enamel to reshape uneven, chipped or pointed teeth. It is painless, done in one visit, and often paired with bonding for bigger changes. It suits minor adjustments rather than major corrections, which need veneers or alignment.
What it can do
- Smooth rough or uneven edges.
- Soften overly pointed canines.
- Even out slightly different tooth lengths.
- Refine the result of bonding.
What it cannot do
Contouring removes only a little enamel, so large gaps, big chips or crowding need bonding, veneers or alignment instead.
