About Tooth Reshaping

Cosmetic contouring involves removing small amounts of enamel in order to change the tooth's surface, length, or shape. Cosmetic contouring may be used to correct small chips, crooked or excessively long teeth, or to alter the position of teeth. Cosmetic contouring is best for patients who need small repairs or adjustments to improve the appearance of their teeth. 

Benefits of Tooth Reshaping

There is no discomfort during the procedure and anesthesia typically isn't required. In some cases, cosmetic contouring can substitute for braces since that eliminate minor overlapping and make teeth look straighter. Cosmetic contouring is among the least expensive dental procedures.

About Dental Bonding

Bonding is the application of tooth-colored resin using a special light, which bonds the materials to the teeth to improve a patient's smile. Bonding is used to fix small imperfections such as cracks, chips, and imperfections in the shape or size of the teeth. Bonding is also used to close spaces between teeth and improve the appearance of discolored teeth. 

Benefits of Dental Bonding

Bonding can usually be done in just one office visit. Very little enamel is removed with this procedure, which gives it an advantage over options like dental crowns and porcelain veneers. Bonding is also among the least expensive dental procedures.
