What is Cosmetic Contouring?

Would you like your Fenton, MO, dentist to fix your smile?cosmetic contouring

Are you self-conscious about your teeth? Are there dents, grooves, and chips you want to rid yourself of?

First-impression smiles are important for interviews, dates, weddings, and many other big events, which is why Dr. Thomas Kemlage and Dr. Andrew Kemlage offer tooth contouring and reshaping to patients.

Tooth Contouring and Reshaping

Your Fenton dentists offer contouring and reshaping of teeth, which is a simple, cosmetic procedure that will save you plenty of time and money, and give you an improved smile.

This procedure helps fix dental issues like crooked, chipped, cracked, fractured, overlapping or crowded teeth and pits and/or grooves in enamel.

Contouring and Reshaping Process

Your doctor will first examine your teeth by visually scanning them, then assess if these two procedures are right for you.

He will then use an x-ray to ensure there aren't any hidden problems. Serious issues, like severe tooth decay, are dealt with first, then some enamel is removed to straighten your teeth. Your Fenton doctor will then smoothen out and polish your teeth.

If some dental issues are too severe, your doctor will provide restorations such as dental crowns or veneers.

Dental Hygiene and Care

  • Brush your teeth: Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle and brush for a whole two minutes twice a day at the very least.
  • Floss between teeth: Floss your teeth thoroughly every night before bed.
  • Dental Night Guard: Get a mouthguard to prevent serious wear and tear caused by bruxism (grinding teeth).
  • Eat healthily: Maintain a healthy diet by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, like apples, that will scrape plaque off your teeth, and drink water that will wash away food particles and debris.

If you have any questions or concerns about tooth contouring and reshaping, then call Dr. Thomas Kemlage and Dr. Andrew Kemlage at their Fenton, MO, office at (636) 225-1777.
