Teeth reshaping is another small step in your smile design plan that can lead to big results. Tooth shaping involves removing a small amount of the enamel of the teeth. The dentist can shorten long teeth, round off pointed teeth, and help create a pleasing smile that gently follows the contour of the lower lip. This will make your smile not only brilliant but consistent and free of irregularities.

The procedure is quick and painless and can usually be completed in less than 30 minutes. A small minority of patients gets slight sensitivity after tooth shaping. This can be remedied with prescription strength fluoride or in-office desensitizers. The procedure does not cause any long-term damage to the teeth.
