Tooth reshaping, sometimes called contouring, is a conservative approach used to adjust minor irregularities in the shape, length, or surface texture of a tooth. It is often considered for small chips, slightly uneven edges, or teeth that appear a little longer or more pointed than the rest. During the procedure, small amounts of enamel are carefully removed and smoothed to create a more balanced appearance, and the process is generally quick and comfortable. Because it works with your existing tooth structure, reshaping is usually considered for minor cosmetic adjustments rather than significant corrections — more noticeable concerns may call for other treatment options, which our team can discuss with you. Before proceeding, we assess the thickness and health of the enamel to confirm reshaping is appropriate. This is typically a same-visit procedure with little to no recovery time. If you are interested in small refinements to your smile without more involved treatment, tooth reshaping may be worth discussing at your next visit with Dr. Hargun.
