Recontouring

Recontouring (Odontoplasty or enameloplasty is known as recontouring, as well) is one of the important methods of aesthetic dentistry. The recontouring process involves correction of the teeth appearance. By correcting the size, shape, and contours of the teeth, your smile can be revitalized. Through a professional recontouring, teeth can be overall reshaped.

Benefits of Recontouring

It is a helpful way of giving balance to the smile.

The goal of recontouring is to get the idealized teeth appearance through minor abrasions on the surface.

It is a durable and painless treatment.

Cosmetic Recontouring Application

Before the application, tooth enamel should be checked whether it is appropriate for recontouring. Tooth enamel must be healthy and thick enough for the procedure. Recontouring is not a painful treatment. Corrections are made through small abrasions on tooth enamel and the enamel does not have nerves. So the process is painless. You generally do not feel discomfort.

Recontouring is a quick treatment. So there is no long period of healing time. However in some cases, the process leads the tooth to lose its enamel, and just because the enamel cannot repair itself, it is needed to be careful. So after the procedure, teeth should be protected against possible damages. They should be brushed gently, attention to dental hygiene should be paid, and the daily diet should not contain snacks containing sugar.
