If you have minor dental imperfections or slightly overlapping or irregularly shaped teeth, excessively pointed cuspid tooth, you will need to see the dentist if you want them fixed. The procedure is called tooth reshaping which is also referred to sometimes as dental contouring. This cosmetic dental procedure deals with subtle changes to the teeth that could make a big difference in a person’s overall appearance and self-confidence.

Slight Tooth Appearance Change. Tooth reshaping unlike other cosmetic dental procedures will not cause any dramatic or obvious change on your smile or its white appearance. The change will be subtle. If you want a completely new look, veneers would be a better option. Tooth reshaping and dental contouring only eliminate minor imperfections, so it won’t do if you want to flash sparkling white teeth. It will, however, improve the appearance of your teeth from the mild imperfect state to a better shaped and contoured tooth.
