Dental Contouring in Maryborough
Also called tooth reshaping, dental contouring is a simple yet successful cosmetic procedure used to enhance the appearance of your teeth. By removing small amounts of enamel, your dentist can refine the shape, size, and length of your teeth to create a more even, symmetrical smile.
How Does the Process Work?
During dental contouring, your dentist gently removes a small portion of enamel from targeted areas to achieve the desired shape. In some cases, contouring can be combined with other treatments, like teeth whitening or bonding, to further enhance your smile. Since enamel is the hardest substance in the body, the procedure is considered safe and doesn’t require anaesthesia unless there’s a particularly sensitive area.
What Should You Expect After the Procedure?
After the procedure, it’s common to experience mild tooth sensitivity for a day or two. Your dentist may suggest using a desensitising toothpaste to minimise any discomfort. Additionally, it’s a good idea to avoid hard or sticky foods for 24 hours to ensure your newly contoured teeth remain in great shape. Dental contouring is a fantastic option for subtle, aesthetic changes, but if you’re looking for more dramatic results, veneers or orthodontics might be better suited for your needs.
