Imagine you’re at a business meeting or at a party or other social gathering. You’re mingling. You’re meeting new people and socializing, but in the back of your mind you’re feeling self-conscious about your smile and that is causing you to smile less and seem less friendly. If you have chipped, cracked or misaligned teeth that are preventing you from flashing those pearly whites, know that you can have the smile of your dreams with cosmetic contouring.
What is Cosmetic Contouring?
Basically, cosmetic contouring is a technique that removes a small amount of enamel to correct some cosmetic dental issues. Often, resin is used in conjunction to improve the overall appearance of teeth. The resin is used for bonding and it can fill in chips and gaps, improves tooth color and adds shape.
Are You a Candidate?
Before considering cosmetic contouring, you should discuss it with your dentist to find out if you’re a candidate. The procedure requires that you already have healthy teeth and that you have enough bone between your teeth to support them. Teeth are then altered; the procedure is conducted and then the teeth are hardened and polished.
