Tooth Contouring & Reshaping
Subtle Refinements For Beautiful Results In Henrico, VA
At Tuckahoe Creek Dental, we believe cosmetic dentistry doesn’t always have to mean making dramatic changes to your teeth. Sometimes, the smallest adjustments can make the biggest difference in how confident you feel about your smile. Tooth contouring and reshaping is a simple, conservative cosmetic treatment that smooths and refines your natural teeth, often in just one visit. If you live in Henrico or the Greater Richmond area and are looking for a subtle way to elevate your smile, tooth contouring may be the perfect solution.
What Is Tooth Contouring And Reshaping?
Tooth contouring is also called enameloplasty. It is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that gently reshapes small areas of tooth enamel to improve the appearance of your smile. By smoothing uneven edges, shortening slightly long teeth or softening minor overlaps, we use it to create a more symmetrical and enhanced look.

Is Everyone A Candidate?
Tooth contouring and reshaping is one of the easiest ways to enhance your smile without more complex dental work. If your dental needs are more significant, Dr. Graham may recommend alternative cosmetic dentistry treatments such as cosmetic bonding, veneers or Invisalign®. We always prioritize what will best support your long-term oral health with your aesthetic goals.

Is Tooth Contouring And Reshaping Permanent?
Yes. Because a small amount of enamel is removed during reshaping, the results are permanent. That’s why we place so much emphasis on precise results and make sure that your evaluation is always comprehensive. The good news is that enamel removal is extremely minimal and does not weaken your healthy teeth.
Can Tooth Contouring And Reshaping Be Combined With Other Dental Treatments?
It can! When it comes to your smile, we’re here to help you achieve all your aesthetic goals. Many patients choose to combine contouring with other cosmetic dentistry treatments. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through all available options for completely customized dental treatment that you can feel confident about!
