Enamel shaping is also known as odontoplasty. It is a process in which natural teeth are shaped to correct crowded, uneven teeth, and smooth minor rough edges. Small amounts of enamel can be removed to lengthen the teeth and give them shape. Pointed canines can be rounded off using this procedure. Enamel shaping gives the teeth a more balanced appearance, improves the functionality of the teeth, reduces the scope for plaque accumulation, and at the same time improves the aesthetic appeal of your teeth and smile. The procedure is quick and painless, and usually carried out without anaesthetic.

A note on this articleThis is general information written for patients, not dental advice for your own mouth. Teeth, gums and medical histories differ, and so does what suits them, so please have a dentist examine you before deciding on any treatment. If something in your mouth is painful, bleeding or has been knocked out, ring us on (02) 9281 0007 rather than waiting.
