Cosmetic Tooth Contouring

Cosmetic tooth contouring (odontoplasty) is a conservative, non-invasive treatment that artistically reshapes tooth enamel to:

• Correct minor chips/irregularities

• Improve tooth symmetry

• Create harmonious smile proportions

• Enhance overall dental aesthetics

Clinical Applications

✅ Ideal for:

• Uneven tooth edges

• Slight overlaps/crowding

• Worn or fractured enamel

• Pointed canines (“vampire teeth”)

✅ Common Combinations:

• Teeth whitening for brightness

• Composite bonding for volume

• Veneers for major transformations

Treatment Process

1. Digital Smile Analysis (3D imaging)

2. Precise Enamel Removal (<0.5mm)

3. Polishing for natural luster

4. Optional Follow-ups (sensitivity management)
