For individuals with teeth that are poorly aligned, irregularly shaped or chipped, enamel contouring is a great alternative to re-create a beautiful smile.  Enamel contouring is a safe and subtle way to refine your smile for an instantly rejuvenated look.  In select cases, the appearance of top and bottom teeth can be improved by recontouring the enamel. 

Dr. Rozenberg will start by marking your teeth with a pencil.  This will aid her in the sculpting process.  During the procedure, a sanding drill or laser is used to remove small amounts of the surface enamel that is overlapping or poorly shaped.  Abrasive strips are then used between your teeth to shape the sides of your teeth.  Dr. Rozenberg will then polish the sanded teeth to complete your perfect smile.  In cases where the poor alignment is more pronounced, resin may be bonded to teeth to create a better look.

This procedure is typically completed in one appointment and is simple and painless, so a local anesthetic is not administered.  The change is immediate and permanent.  Porcelain veneers and whitening are a few cosmetic dental procedures that couple well with enamel recontouring to enhance your perfect smile.
