Your Contouring Options

smilebrunettesweaterWhen learning about tooth contouring and gum contouring, a good place to begin is with the term “contour” itself. First, consider the fact that the contour of your tooth, for instance, refers to its outline. If the outline is poor or awkward, you may have a desire to gently reshape the tissue for a more pleasing appearance. Another use of the word contour means to mold something into a different shape, which is exactly what we can accomplish with your contouring options. From improving tooth shape, length, and texture to re-sculpting the line of your gum tissue, you can expect a dramatically improved smile as a result of your contouring options.

Your Teeth Whitening Options

toothhandsparkleWhen we speak with patients dealing with smile discoloration, we often find that they have a good deal of misinformation in their minds. First, patients often think that they should be able to address and remove stains on their own.
