Small Details Make a Big Difference

Not every smile concern requires veneers or extensive treatment. For many patients, minor irregularities in tooth shape, length, or edge alignment can disrupt an otherwise beautiful smile. Uneven edges, slight overlaps, or asymmetry can draw attention in ways that feel distracting or unfinished. At Bedford Dental Group, teeth contouring and reshaping in Beverly Hills are approached with precision and restraint. Led by Dr. Daniel Naysan, treatment focuses on refining natural tooth structure in a conservative way that enhances balance without altering the character of your smile.

What Is Teeth Contouring & Reshaping?

Teeth contouring and reshaping is a cosmetic dental treatment that gently refines the shape, length, or surface of natural teeth. Using precise techniques, small amounts of enamel may be smoothed or adjusted to improve symmetry, proportion, and alignment.

This treatment is often used to address uneven tooth edges, minor chips, slight overlaps, or inconsistencies in tooth length. Because the changes are subtle and conservative, contouring is often completed in a single visit, preserving the integrity of the natural tooth.

Benefits of Teeth Contouring & Reshaping

  • Improved Symmetry: Refining tooth edges and contours helps create a more even, balanced smile.
  • Natural Aesthetic Enhancement: Subtle adjustments enhance the smile without making it look artificial or overdone.
  • Minimally Invasive Treatment: Only small amounts of enamel are adjusted, preserving natural tooth structure.
  • Immediate Results: Improvements are visible right away, often in a single appointment.
  • Enhanced Smile Harmony: Contouring helps teeth relate more proportionally to each other and to the overall face.

Is Teeth Contouring & Reshaping Right for Me?

Teeth contouring and reshaping may be a good option if you have minor cosmetic concerns such as uneven tooth edges, small chips, or slight asymmetry. It is ideal for patients seeking refinement rather than dramatic change and who value natural-looking results.

During your consultation, we evaluate the tooth structure, enamel thickness, bite dynamics, and aesthetic goals to determine whether contouring alone is sufficient or if it should be combined with other treatments, such as whitening or smile design.

What to Expect: The Teeth Contouring & Reshaping Process

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We assess tooth shape, alignment, bite relationship, and overall smile balance.
  2. Personalized Planning: Adjustments are carefully mapped to enhance symmetry while preserving natural contours.
  3. Precise Refinement: Small amounts of enamel are gently smoothed or reshaped using advanced tools.
  4. Immediate Visual Improvement: Results are visible as the contouring is completed.
  5. Final Review & Polishing: Tooth surfaces are refined and polished to ensure a comfortable and natural finish.

Teeth Contouring & Reshaping Frequently Asked Questions

Does teeth contouring damage enamel?

When performed conservatively, contouring removes only minimal enamel, preserving tooth strength.

Is the procedure painful?

Most patients experience no discomfort, as the treatment is gentle and minimally invasive.

How long does teeth contouring take?

Treatment is often completed in a single visit, depending on the number of teeth involved.

Are the results permanent?

Yes. Once enamel is reshaped, the results are lasting.

Can contouring fix crooked teeth?

Contouring can address very minor irregularities but does not replace orthodontic treatment for alignment issues.

Is teeth contouring purely cosmetic?

While primarily aesthetic, it can also improve bite comfort in certain cases.

Can contouring be combined with other treatments?

Yes. It is often paired with whitening, bonding, or smile design.

How do I know if I’m a good candidate?

Candidacy depends on enamel thickness, bite alignment, and aesthetic goals, which are evaluated during your consultation.
