Does my tooth need contouring?
Tooth contouring is mainly used to reshape teeth that are slightly damaged, uneven, or different from the rest. It is most commonly carried out on the upper front teeth — the central, lateral and canine teeth — that are most visible when you smile.
As well as improving aesthetics, contouring can also make teeth easier to clean (for example by reducing a slight overlap). It is not always the right choice — if there are underlying issues like tooth decay or significant misalignment, those need addressing first.
