This procedure involves carefully reshaping the teeth to make them less bulky and more symmetrical. It is often used in conjunction with ‘bonding’ to eliminate small spaces in between the teeth.
Suitable for:
- a small fracture or chip in your tooth
- improving the appearance of long/wide/bulky teeth
Benefits:
- Minimally invasive
- No anaesthetic is needed
- Quickest option (completed in one visit)
- No maintenance
- Creates a more harmonious relationship between the teeth.
What you need to know
- Only small amounts of enamel are removed
- Cost and time involved are minimal
- Not the best treatment for short teeth as may result in an older look (as teeth wear with age they become shorter).
- In rare instances, sensitivity may be a problem.
