What Is Tooth Contouring?
Tooth contouring (also known as enamel reshaping, dental recontouring, or odontoplasty) is a quick, comfortable cosmetic procedure that subtly reshapes your teeth by removing tiny amounts of enamel.
It's one of the simplest ways to enhance your smile. In just 15-30 minutes, we can smooth rough or jagged edges, round off pointed canines, reduce minor overlaps, and create a more uniform smile line. The changes are subtle but the impact on your confidence can be significant.
Because we only remove a fraction of a millimetre of enamel (which has no nerves), the procedure is generally comfortable. Usually no anaesthetic required, minimal preparation, no injections. Many patients say it feels like their teeth are being gently polished, although experiences can vary.
Tooth contouring in London is popular among professionals and image-conscious patients who want quick, affordable improvements without the commitment of veneers. It's often combined with composite bonding for more comprehensive results.
What Can Tooth Contouring Fix?
Tooth contouring is ideal for these minor cosmetic concerns.
Your dentist will assess whether contouring is appropriate for you and how much enamel can safely be removed.
