Common Questions About Teeth Contouring and Crown Lengthening
What is teeth contouring?
Teeth contouring is a gentle cosmetic procedure that involves carefully removing small amounts of enamel to improve the shape or length of your teeth. It's ideal for correcting minor imperfections like pointy edges, uneven lengths, or slightly misshapen teeth. Dr. Kaady uses a conservative approach to ensure that the process is comfortable, safe, and aligned with your overall oral health.
Is teeth contouring safe?
Yes, when performed by a skilled, conservative dentist like Dr. Kaady, teeth contouring is a safe and effective way to refine your smile. Before beginning, he'll review your X-rays and assess your tooth structure to determine how much enamel can be safely adjusted. Only the outermost layer is gently reshaped, so the integrity of your teeth remains intact. The result is a more balanced, natural-looking smile.
What is crown lengthening?
Crown lengthening is a procedure that removes small amounts of excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth surface. It's often used to improve the proportions of your smile or to prepare a tooth for a restoration like a crown or veneer. Dr. Kaady performs this treatment gently and with precision. He ensures that only the necessary amount of tissue is adjusted, while preserving your overall gum health and comfort.
