Dental Contouring to Reshape Teeth

This is a procedure in which the dentist will remove an extremely small amount of dental enamel to make teeth more attractive. Reshaping of teeth can correct slightly crooked or chipped teeth or shorten long teeth. Insurance does not typically cover the cost but the procedure is usually much less than other cosmetic procedures, depending on how much work is completed. Additionally, reshaping of teeth is usually pain free and requires no anesthetic, and it can be completed in just one visit. Dental contouring is not a replacement for braces, which involves major changes to the positioning of teeth. For more information, call our OFallon dental office at 636-300-4280.
