Tooth Contouring in Palm Springs, CA

Many teeth get worn, chipped, or broken over time. Tooth contouring restores the right shape and symmetry to your teeth, giving you the confidence to smile with pride. During a contouring procedure, our dentists use specialized dental equipment to shape a damaged tooth so it looks just like the rest of your teeth. We always preserve enough enamel to guarantee the integrity and strength of the tooth.

What Can Tooth Contouring Fix?

Tooth contouring helps with issues like:
Uneven tooth length
Tooth chips
Rough or sharp teeth

By smoothing out rough enamel, tooth contouring also reduces the build-up of plaque and tartar. That minimizes the risk of gum disease and tooth loss.

How Tooth Contouring Works

X-rays reveal just how much tooth enamel is available for contouring. Your dentist then reshapes specific areas of your tooth. Afterwards, your tooth is polished smooth. In most cases, the procedure lasts no more than thirty minutes. After the procedure, a tooth might be sensitive to temperature for a day or so, but every time you look in the mirror, you’ll be impressed. Your teeth will look much better than they did before!
