Enameloplasty, also known as dental contouring or tooth reshaping, enhances the teeth’s overall appearance. Dentists may recommend this treatment to patients as an alternative to braces, teeth whitening or dental bonding.
During the procedure, a dental professional will either use a drill, laser or sanding disc to remove a small amount of your tooth enamel to adjust the length, size or shape of your teeth. Once the tooth is reshaped, a dentist will polish the area to complete the cosmetic procedure.
Enameloplasty can be a great alternative procedure, as it can be completed in one appointment and requires no recovery period.

Since enameloplasty thins the tooth enamel, it’s crucial to take special care of your teeth after the procedure. You can start by maintaining a good oral hygiene regimen; brushing twice a day and flossing between your teeth daily to remove plaque and bacteria from your mouth. Avoid eating hard or sticky foods after the procedure.
