Dental Contouring in West New York, NJ

What is Dental Contouring?

Dental contouring, also known as tooth reshaping or enameloplasty, is a cosmetic dentistry technique that involves removing minuscule amounts of tooth enamel to change a tooth's shape, length, or surface. It is one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available. By skillfully sculpting the enamel, our dentists can correct minor imperfections and create a more harmonious and symmetrical smile.

What Problems Can Dental Contouring Correct?

This procedure is ideal for correcting small cosmetic issues. You might be a great candidate for dental contouring if you have:

• Minor chips or cracks in your teeth

• Slightly crooked or overlapping teeth

• Teeth that are uneven in length

• Canine teeth that appear too "pointy"

• Small pits, grooves, or bulges in the enamel

• Irregularly shaped teeth that don't match the rest of your smile

The Dental Contouring Process at Veda Family Dentistry

Our process is designed to be simple, comfortable, and precise.

1. Consultation: Your visit will start with a consultation with Dr. Priya or Dr. Moosavi. We will examine your teeth to ensure they are healthy and that contouring is the right solution for your goals. We will discuss the exact changes you'd like to see.

2. The Reshaping: Because only the surface enamel is treated (which has no nerves), the procedure is painless and requires no anesthesia. Our doctor will use fine sanding discs and instruments to artfully remove tiny amounts of enamel, sculpting your tooth into its ideal shape.

3. Final Polish: Once the reshaping is complete, we will polish your tooth to a smooth, natural, and lustrous finish. You will leave our West New York office the very same day with a perfected, brilliant smile.
