Tooth Recontouring
What Is Tooth Recontouring?
Ever wished you had straight, beautifully aligned, sparkling white teeth? Tooth recontouring and enamel recontouring is an alternative to braces and orthodontics for rotated, tilted, and crowded teeth.
Reasons why some would choose tooth recontouring instead of dental braces:
- The perception that you’re too old for braces (although this is rarely the case)
- The cost of orthodontics are prohibitive
- The patient doesn’t want to wear braces
- Or there are only a few areas that need attention and a full mouth brace would not be necessary.
Tooth recontouring can improve the appearance of front and rear teeth to fix overlapping, slight rotation, uneven wear or teeth that do not have their biting and incising edges in harmony. Enamel recontouring is a painless procedure and doesn’t require local anesthetic to reshape and polish the enamel. Recontoured teeth are not more prone to decay, weakened or damaged by the enamel recontouring procedure.
Other cosmetic dentistry solutions include; Porcelain veneers, Crowns, Bridges, Bonding, Home Teeth Whitening, Zoom Whitening, Composite Restorations, and Enamel Recontouring.
