Problems in your smile such as chips or misshaped teeth can be improved through simple procedures that do not even require anesthesia.
Tooth Reshaping: What is it?
Tooth reshaping is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that removes removes small amounts of the tooth in order to reshape it. Sometimes depending on the size of the chip the clinicians will to add small pieces of tooth-colored material (bonding) to perfect the teeth. “The smallest amount of bonding and reshaping can drastically improve your smile” states Dr. Meier. Dental bonding (materials bonded to tooth) is a cosmetic dentistry procedure where tooth colored material is applied to a tooth, sculpted into shape, polished and hardened. Only you and the doctor will know the bonding material is there as it looks completely natural.
