Give Your Smile A Uniform Look With Teeth Contouring In Bend, OR

Many of our smile makeovers involve completely changing the appearance of teeth with restorations like dental veneers. In some cases, though, a much smaller change can make a big difference in how your smile looks! With teeth contouring in Bend, we can remove a tiny amount of enamel to modify the length and/or shape of your teeth.

Easily Reshape Your Smile

It really can make a dramatic difference to change the length and shape of a patient's existing teeth as opposed to doing veneers, crowns. That's one of the aspects of the educational piece that we like to spend a lot of time when patients have in an interest or are curious about what they can do to improve the appearance or teeth. There's not a one size fits all option for patients. Not everybody is a great candidate for veneers or for Invisalign. So by making some changes to a patient's existing gum tissue by recontouring those gum tissues by lifting them up, making them higher or changing some of the shapes, it can drastically change the appearance of a patient's teeth and smile. And a lot of times that can be done with a much less invasive procedure, and I think patients are pleasantly surprised at how dramatics and those changes can be with some real minimal treatment.

A contouring procedure is:

  • Affordable — It costs less than veneers or dental crowns.
  • Simple — This treatment, which involves removing a tiny bit of enamel from teeth with a laser, is a quicker and easier way to improve your smile than other cosmetic dentistry procedures.
  • Fast — It can be completed in a single appointment.
  • Pain-Free — Since there are no nerves in tooth enamel, the process involves no discomfort.
  • Natural Looking — Since you’re simply removing a bit of enamel rather than adding restorations, the procedure won’t dramatically alter your smile. It will, however, correct the appearance of uneven teeth, worn teeth, or teeth with small chips.

To see if a teeth contouring procedure is right for you, call 541-668-8070 today.

Make Short Teeth Appear Longer With Crown Lengthening

With contouring, we can remove enamel from teeth that are too long. If you have teeth that are too short, we can change your smile’s appearance with a treatment called crown lengthening. Dr. Drew will simply use a laser to remove a tiny amount of gum tissue and reveal more of your teeth’s enamel. We sometimes recommend a crown lengthening procedure to make it easier to apply a restoration like a veneer or crown to a tooth.

Consider Other Cosmetic Options For Stained Teeth

A contouring procedure can’t address some smile flaws such as stained teeth. If your teeth are dull or discolored, you may want to consider:

  • Dental Veneers — Dr. Drew can carefully apply thin shells of tooth-colored porcelain to the front of teeth to hide discoloration and many other imperfections.
  • Teeth Whitening — We offer options of whitening treatments in our office or take-home treatments. Both contain higher concentrations of whitening ingredients than drugstore products, so they offer brighter results.

For teeth contouring in Bend, call Drew Family Dentistry at 541-668-8070.

I am TERRIFIED of the dentist, and Dr. Drew and the whole staff made me feel so comfortable!

Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in Bend!

Common Questions About Teeth Contouring

How Does Teeth Contouring Work?

During a teeth contouring procedure, we use a laser and/or a sanding instrument to remove small amounts of enamel. The goal is to improve the shape of your teeth so you have a uniform smile. It works well for flaws like minor chips, uneven edges, too-long teeth, and overly pointy teeth.

Is Tooth Contouring Safe?

Tooth contouring is a very safe treatment. The primary risk is weakening your tooth enamel, which can cause sensitivity. Since we remove only a tiny bit of enamel from your teeth, it’s a very small risk. You may want to switch to a nonabrasive toothpaste and/or a toothbrush with softer bristles to further reduce the chance of this happening.

Does Teeth Contouring Hurt?

Your teeth enamel contains no nerves, so you’ll feel no discomfort during a teeth contouring procedure. Still, we can numb your mouth with anesthesia if you’d like. If you’re nervous, you can also receive dental sedation. Inhaled sedation would be a good choice since it wears off quickly with no lingering grogginess. You can drive yourself home after your appointment.
