Cosmetic tooth reduction can be safely and effectively performed using a variety of techniques tailored to the patient’s unique dental structure and aesthetic goals.
However, a thorough consultation especially with a qualified cosmetic dentist is essential prior to any procedure to evaluate oral health, determine suitability and also ensure that reducing the tooth size will not affect the integrity, strength or function of the teeth in general.

Reshaping
Enameloplasty smooths and shortens edges and rounds corners by removing a fraction of a millimetre of enamel. Quick, painless and permanent, suited to teeth that are slightly long or uneven.
Re-framing
Often the teeth are not large; the gums show too little, or the neighbouring teeth are too small. Gum contouring or adding to the smaller teeth with bonding or veneers changes the proportion without shrinking anything.
Restoring
Where a tooth is genuinely oversized, a veneer or crown can be made narrower and shorter than the tooth it covers, within the limits of the bite. The design stage shows what is achievable before any decision is made.
