Enameloplasty is a dental procedure that alters the outer layer of teeth called enamel, whether by contouring or reshaping it, in order to aesthetically improve the teeth or enhance their function.

Teeth reshaping increases the self esteem and confidence of those undergoing it by elevating their overall teeth aesthetics. It does this by addressing minor imperfections that exist, such as uneven edges, tiny overlaps, or sharp points. This leads to an improved even smile.
There is no pain involved during the course of the Enameloplasty procedure. There is also no requirement for anesthesia. All that needs to be done is reshaping the enamel. The process is both efficient and effective. The entire tooth contouring procedure can be completed within a single appointment.
Enameloplasty is considered a less intricate and affordable cosmetic treatment when compared to veneers or crowns. Once the enamel has been reshaped, no extra touchups will be needed in the future, which makes it a more sustainable option.
Dr. Shah will assess the needs of the teeth. X-rays or imaging will be used to confirm whether your goal can be achieved without compromising the integrity of the tooth.
To improve symmetry, she will use a dental drill to remove enamel in a very controlled manner at the borders. This delicate Teeth reshaping procedure is done carefully so that the structure and function of the tooth is preserved.
After shaping the teeth, Dr. Shah will move to polishing it, which is smoothing out the surface to restore the natural luster of the teeth. She will ensure that your bite is even and comfortable.

No, Enameloplasty is painless since it is the effortless process of removing a portion of enamel that is painless. No anesthesia is required.
Enameloplasty can fix small, unattractive and unpleasing teeth such as chipped teeth, teeth with rough edges, slightly overlapping teeth, and gaps.
Teeth reshaping is a modification that cannot be reversed because enamel does not grow back. For deeper corrections aside from Enameloplasty, bonding or veneers might be more suitable.
No, when performed correctly, Enameloplasty does not weaken teeth. Enamel is a protective layer of teeth, and teeth are going to be strong and healthy as long as just a little portion of enamel is removed.
Patients with moderate aesthetic concerns related to their dentition. Those with severe enamel thinning, skeletal malocclusion, or fractures requiring orthodontics or crowns should not go for tooth contouring.
