When Mary sat down in the chair she told us that her friends - and even her husband - told her that teeth can't be contoured like that and that even if they could it would be painful.
Ha! They were so wrong. And Mary is gonna tell them all about how her teeth fit perfectly now and that the contouring was absolutely painless. No shots, no problems.
Cosmetic contouring and contouring for bite adjustment purposes is a common care technique in the toolkit of excellent 21st century dentists. Of course the dentist has to have an artistic eye to create the cosmetic result. And if the contouring is being done to correct a bite problem, the dentist has to understand the intricacies of fitting teeth together properly.
So if you are someone who didn't know that teeth can be comfortably reshaped to create a better smile or a better bite, well, now you know. They sure can.
Sometimes the simpler way is the better way. Not all smiles have to be created out of porcelain caps and veneers.
Contouring is a great way that good dentists can help.
