Q’s and A’s: Contouring

Q: Will dental contouring harm my teeth?

A: No it will not. We will only remove an extraordinarily small bit of tissue and only once we are certain we can do so without damaging your oral health.

Q: Is contouring only for removing tissue?

A: Yes. If you want to take away tissue for cosmetic improvement (like shortening a tooth or smoothing a problem area), dental contouring is what you want. If you are more interested in adding tissue, bonding is the treatment you’re looking for.

Q: Can most budgets handle dental contouring or not?

A: Yes! Patients are often excited to learn that contouring is very accessible. In addition to offering a very quick way to make changes to one’s smile, it is generally one of the most budget-friendly ways to remove bits of tissue for a consistent grin.

Q: Can I use contouring with other treatments?

A: If you’re planning on receiving porcelain veneers, contouring will not be necessary. However, you are free to combine it with bonding or whitening if you are seeking out a way to make more than one improvement to your smile.
