Tooth contouring or teeth reshaping is perfect for patients unhappy with the shape of their teeth. It’s a simple, quick and cost-effective treatment which can transform your smile in literally minutes – and we know here at MyoDental that small changes can sometimes big differences.
Our cosmetic dentists can attest that filing a tooth to make it appear more even, or to smooth out the tooth’s surface, when performed in the right area can completely revolutionise how your smile appears. A minimal treatment, which doesn’t cost the earth, an enameloplasty is one of the most cost-effective solutions to repair small oral imperfections.
The price of tooth contouring will depend on where you are in the country and the private practice you’re seeking treatment from. On average, you can expect prices to be around £150 or £300 per tooth. But prices can vary depending on the number of teeth that need reshaping. 0% finance is available.
The tooth contouring procedure involves making careful adjustments to the teeth by gently filling them with tools like files, drills, discs or a laser to achieve a more harmonious size and shape.
The removal of enamel might sound scary and painful, but it’s really not, in fact, local anaesthetic is not even necessary to remove it. The tooth’s enamel is a very thin protective layer on the outer teeth and is removed little by little to ensure no more is removed than strictly necessary.
The tooth contouring procedure does not damage your teeth but it does permanently change them. Once we remove the enamel, it cannot be restored.
Plus, as enamel removal can weaken the teeth, it’s vital that patients have normal, healthy teeth, where we can use tooth contouring to make very minor changes. If you want to make bigger changes, you might want to explore composite bonding or veneers instead.
Using advanced digital technology at our practice, means we can help patients visualise what their smile will look like after the procedure, so they can know what to fully expect from the end result before they commit. We’ll prepare this image during your consultation.
