Professional tooth reshaping is a cornerstone of modern cosmetic dentistry, designed to enhance the shape, symmetry and function of each tooth with meticulous precision.
Tailored to the unique features of every patient, this technique involves subtle adjustments to the length, contour and alignment of the teeth, resulting in a harmonious, natural-looking smile.
What it corrects
Uneven edges, small chips, a tooth that is fractionally longer than its neighbour, sharp corners that make a smile look harsh. Fractions of a millimetre of enamel are polished away to restore balance.
The procedure
Planned on photographs first, then done with fine polishing instruments, usually without anaesthesia. The result is immediate and permanent.
When to combine it
Often paired with whitening or bonding, and used to refine teeth that do not need veneers within a wider smile design. If more length or width is needed than reshaping can give, bonding adds it.
