Doctor Daryl Peak on tooth contouring 
Read Transcript
Daryl Peak:
If someone has chipped or rotated or misaligned teeth, and adding material, whether it's composite or porcelain, is infeasible or isn't in the patient's best interest, then doing some cosmetic contouring, where we change the side, the shape, or rough edges of the teeth, can sometimes provide a nice result.
- Create a balanced smile
- Hide signs of wear and tear on your teeth
- Restore your confidence in your smile
Reshaping your teeth can be a cost-effective way to make the changes you want. To learn more, start by scheduling a consultation with one of our doctors. Call 859-474-7830 to reach Edgewood Dental Care.
Create a More Balanced Smile for Yourself
Contouring is quicker and often less expensive than other cosmetic services. By removing some enamel from your teeth, you could transform your whole smile. More importantly, you can feel better about sharing that smile with others.
So, who should consider contouring?
- People with teeth that look too wide or long
- People with particularly pointed canines
- People with minor chipped teeth
- People with rough spots on their teeth
Sometimes reshaping is a good alternative to dental veneers. Reshaping also can be part of a complete smile makeover.
Make a Change for the Better
Before we recommend contouring, we first need to take a close look at your teeth. Digital X-rays will show us how healthy your teeth are. If everything looks good, we can remove a small bit of enamel so your teeth look like they belong together. When you are finished, you can immediately see the difference.
Most people find this to be a painless procedure. In fact, most patients don’t even need a local anesthetic. However, we are happy to provide dental sedation if that will help you feel more comfortable.
