Often, even the most minor imperfections can make you feel a little self-conscious about the look of your smile, but with services such as cosmetic contouring we can make flaws disappear and produce a perfect smiles that will make you feel much more confident.
What is cosmetic contouring?
Cosmetic contouring is a relatively simple cosmetic dental procedure that can achieve dazzling results in less than an hour. With this technique, we are able to make minor repairs to the teeth and change the aesthetic of individual teeth to produce dramatic results. Often, the changes seem very minor and you may not even feel us working away on your teeth, but the impact is incredible.
This treatment may be recommended for those with chipped or broken teeth, worn or jagged edges or pointy teeth. It can also be used to create more definition if you have flat edged teeth or to alter the shape of the tooth slightly to make the smile look more balanced. We can also use this technique to create a younger looking aesthetic in line with other smile rejuvenation techniques.
Cosmetic contouring can usually be completed in just one appointment and in most cases, no anaesthetic is required.
If you have chipped, worn or misshapen teeth or your teeth are in need of a little TLC, call us and ask about cosmetic contouring or arrange a consultation to find out more about our cosmetic dental treatments.
Is there is a small defect in your teeth preventing you from having the perfect smile? A small chip in one of the front teeth, worn sections of enamel or even a small fracture or slight overlapping of teeth might seem like insignificant problems but they can be very noticeable if all th
e other teeth are straight and undamaged. However, all of these minor defects can be fixed by a process known as teeth contouring, a procedure aimed at changing the size or shape of teeth so that teeth with minor damage appear to be in better alignment with the rest.
Using a special polishing instrument a dentist will remove small areas of enamel from one or more teeth to even up the defect in the other tooth. This is then followed by an even smoothing and polishing of all the surrounding teeth. The process is quick, painless and most of all affordable making it an ideal place to start a more comprehensive smile makeover.
Teeth contouring is most often performed on the upper front canine teeth, lateral teeth and upper central teeth as these are the most exposed to structural damage such as chipping or fracturing. Besides realignment teeth contouring also makes teeth easier to clean reducing the risk of dental decay or gum disease. This is especially true when fixing small overlapping issues.
The procedure will usually take place in one visit to the dentist, although it is sometime necessary to have a follow up appointment. Most appointments will last between half an hour and an hour and the dentist will often take a before and after picture so you can more easily visualise the change in appearance. The process involves very little if no pain at all because it is only the nerveless tooth enamel that is being removed or polished, although some patients experience slightly sensitive teeth for a few days after the treatment. A Weston-super-Mare dentist will offer teeth contouring as a standard procedure so you can finally get that flawless perfect smile you have always wanted.
