Professional Tooth Reshaping in Sydney

Your Go-to Dentist for Tooth Reshaping

Unfortunately, not all of us are born with picture-perfect teeth. Your teeth may be misaligned or have chips and cracks. This can lower your self-confidence, and you may try to hide your smile. What’s more, they may lead to long term dental problems. Fortunately, you can correct these minor issues through tooth reshaping.

Whether you need to change the way your teeth fit inside your mouth or reduce the size of a tooth, Dr. Rammo can help contour your teeth to the desired shape and size.

What is Tooth Reshaping?

Also known as dental contouring, tooth reshaping is a cosmetic procedure that gets rid of small amounts of tooth enamel to change the shape, length, or surface of your tooth or teeth. To achieve the desired shape, Dr. Rammo may also apply a tooth-coloured bonding material that attaches and hardens on your teeth.

Is Tooth Reshaping For You?

Tooth reshaping is an elective cosmetic procedure. It can be used to correct the following minor dental problems:

  • Chipping or cracks in your teeth.
  • Uneven or poorly aligned teeth.
  • Smoothing out jagged, uneven areas due to teeth grinding —bruxism.
  • Leveling out pits in the enamel of your teeth.
  • Making your canines level out with other teeth.
  • Removing crevices between teeth to prevent plaque build-up.
  • Worn down teeth due to chewing forces.

However, the tooth reshaping procedure is limited by the amount of enamel you may have. If you have thin enamel, you may have to consider another dental procedure. Also, it doesn’t treat major dental issues like overly crooked teeth.

Pros of Tooth Reshaping

Less Cost. Tooth reshaping is a more cost-effective procedure to help improve the appearance of your smile. Unlike dental treatments like using braces, this procedure can correct minor teeth overlaps, misalignment and make your teeth straighter at a lower cost.

Quick and Painless. Tooth contouring is a quick, convenient process. You’ll only need one dental appointment to get it done. Depending on your dental concerns, Dr. Rammo can complete your teeth reshaping procedure in about 30-60 minutes. Also, the procedure is painless. Dr. Rammo will either use a drill or laser to reshape your tooth. Since your tooth’s enamel doesn’t have any blood vessels or nerves, you may not feel any pain. This way you can achieve the perfect smile and tooth shape without any discomfort.

Improves Your Oral Health. Are your teeth overlapping or misaligned? Slight overlaps and misalignments can allow bacteria and plaque to build up in your teeth. This can lead to serious oral health issues like tooth decay. Dental reshaping removes minor overlaps and misalignments that can conceal bacteria. It also makes brushing and flossing easier. What’s more, aligning your teeth through dental contouring can help treat issues like bruxism and TMJ disorders.

Effective and Permanent Results. Tooth contouring is a permanent, one-time procedure. You will leave the dental clinic with a perfect smile and won’t have to worry about repairs. Also, you don’t need other dental procedures.

Creates More Room in Your Mouth. Got crowded teeth? Crowded teeth can cause several problems, including pain in your jaw and teeth misalignment. What’s more, it can make you self-conscious when speaking or smiling. Reshaping some of your teeth can free up just enough space to reduce the crowding.

Improved Self-Confidence. If you reshape your teeth, your smile will be enhanced and confident. This can make a major difference in your interactions at the workplace or during social events. You will no longer feel so self-conscious about speaking, smiling, or laughing around others.

Common Questions From Patients

Is dental contouring comfortable?

Yes, this treatment is simple and comfortable. You will probably not need any anaesthetic.

Can contouring improve the texture of my teeth?

Yes, if your teeth have a pitted texture, we may be able to soften and smooth the outer layer of your teeth as long as the damage does not place your oral health at risk.

Is dental contouring safe for my teeth?

Contouring is safe for your teeth. We will only perform dental contouring once we are certain of the thickness of your tooth’s enamel. It is important to note that we remove an extremely small amount of enamel.

What if I’m also interested in other cosmetic treatments? Can I have contouring and still select other cosmetic dental treatments?

Yes, you may combine dental contouring with a variety of other treatments, such as bonding or teeth whitening.

How Our Tooth Reshaping Process Works

Step 1 – Initial Evaluation: First, you’ll have a dental examination to assess the health of your teeth and gums. Dr. Rammo may need an x-ray of your teeth to evaluate the thickness of the dentine and enamel. We’ll also use it to pinpoint the exact location of your tooth’s pulp.

If your pulp is too close to your tooth’s surface or your enamel is too thin, Dr. Rammo may recommend another procedure.

Step 2 – Tooth Reshaping: After ensuring that you have healthy teeth, gums, and enamel, we can begin the contouring process. Dr. Rammo may use a laser or reshaping disc to file out some parts of your enamel. This procedure helps minimize imperfections and smooth uneven surfaces in your tooth. If required, we may trim longer teeth so that they’re at the same level as others.

Step 3 – Bonding: If you have chipped or gapped teeth, Dr. Rammo can combine tooth contouring with bonding. This will help add volume to supplement the size and shape or size of your tooth. We’ll use a tooth-coloured resin to mould and further shape your tooth. It’ll harden and match the appearance of your natural teeth.

The procedure may take an additional 30 minutes-60 minutes. Additionally, we will have to numb part of your mouth to ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure.

Step 4 – Recovery: To ensure your tooth reshaping procedure is a success, you need good aftercare tips. Ensure you follow the post-treatment care tips that Dr. Rammo recommends. Apart from brushing, flossing, and visiting the dentist regularly, you will also have to avoid chewing hard objects and smoking.
