At Dental Elements, we understand that a beautiful smile is not just about the color of your teeth; it’s also about the overall harmony of your smile’s shape and proportions. Enamel contouring, a minimally invasive cosmetic dental procedure, can refine the appearance of your teeth, creating a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile.
Enamel contouring, also known as reshaping or sculpting, involves carefully removing small amounts of enamel, the outermost layer of your teeth, to reshape or resize them. This procedure can be used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns, such as:
Unevenly Shaped Teeth: Enamel contouring can smooth out minor ridges or bumps on the surface of your teeth, creating a more uniform appearance.
Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Small chips or cracks on the edges of your teeth can be subtly repaired through enamel contouring, restoring a smooth and even contour.
Overcrowded Teeth: Enamel contouring can be used to create more space between slightly crowded teeth, enhancing the overall alignment of your smile.
Elongated Teeth: Enamel contouring can shorten the appearance of teeth that seem too long, creating a more balanced and harmonious smile.
Quick and Painless Procedure: Enamel contouring is typically performed in a single visit and is generally painless, as only a small amount of enamel is removed.
Minimal Recovery Time: Enamel contouring requires minimal recovery time, allowing you to resume your normal activities almost immediately.
Natural-Looking Results: Enamel contouring creates subtle and natural-looking results, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your smile.
Long-Lasting Effects: The results of enamel contouring can last for many years with proper oral care.
Enamel contouring is an excellent option for individuals who:
Desire a more symmetrical and balanced smile
Seek to improve the shape, size, or alignment of their teeth
Want to address minor cosmetic imperfections without undergoing major dental procedures
Prefer a minimally invasive and pain-free cosmetic solution

I had a long overdue deep cleaning, root canal/crown, AND fillings within a month. Dr. Thurman, Morgan, Kathy and staff were very attentive and kind with not ONLY the procedures and explanations but with checking up on me after the root canal. Also great at helping me figure out my insurance coverage and payments. Dental Elements is GREAT.
