Step-by-Step Tooth Contouring Procedure at Our Clinic

Consultation and Assessment

At your initial consultation, our dentist will first examine the condition of your teeth and gums to check if tooth contouring is the right treatment for you. The dentist might also use X-rays on your teeth to get a clear image and then discuss the available treatment options with you.

Procedure of Tooth Contouring

Next our dentist will remove small quantity of tooth carefully using different tools, including polishing equipment or a drill, to give your tooth an attractive shape. Most patients usually undergo the procedure without feeling any pain or requiring anaesthesia as only minimal amounts of your teeth’s outermost layer are removed.
The procedure of contouring requires around 30 minutes to 1 hour for a single tooth, based on the extent of contouring you require.

Follow-Up Appointments

After the tooth contouring treatment, our dentist schedules your follow-up appointments in most cases. During these follow-up visits, our dentist will check your teeth to see if the treatment is manifesting effectively and might also make minor adjustments if needed. You can also ask the dentist about any questions or doubts you have during these visits.

Aftercare

The main concern about tooth contouring is that this treatment makes your teeth slightly thinner. As a result, your teeth become more sensitive to temperature changes.

• Ask your doctor if you require extra calcium in your diet or any kind of supplements
• Use a non-abrasive toothpaste
• Brush gently
• Follow a good oral hygiene routine
• Strictly cut down on sweetened drinks or foods
• Avoid clenching your jaw or teeth grinding
• Go for regular dental check-ups
