Teeth Contouring / Crown Lengthening

Sometimes it’s only one tooth that can irritate you when you look in the mirror. If it’s a bit longer than other teeth or chipped or slightly out of alignment, that’s often all you can see. Whether it’s a single tooth or several that bother you, you want to love your smile, and Dr. Hardcastle can help you with that.

Here’s how a dental contouring procedure will work:

• Before we begin, we’ll do an examination so we can address any underlying issues going on in your mouth, like cavities or gum disease.
• If your smile is ready, Dr. Hardcastle will use special equipment to modify the teeth you’d like to change.
• Since the process only involves tooth enamel, which has no nerve endings, there shouldn’t be any discomfort. However, we have sedation options to help you relax if you’re nervous.

We also can perform a crown lengthening procedure if we need to prepare you for veneers or crowns or to make short teeth appear longer.

Choose Other Affordable Cosmetic Improvements

Tooth contouring is only one of the cost-friendly ways to improve your smile. We also recommend:

• Teeth whitening to address stains with professional results
• Gummy smile treatment if you’d rather show more teeth than gums when you smile
• Tooth bonding for a reversible way to cover up minor flaws
