Have you ever wished you had a more perfect smile? Do you always keep your mouth closed during photographs, feeling self-conscious about your teeth? Many people think that improving your smile generally involves a lot of time, expense, and possibly discomfort—but there is actually another option.
Before you start thinking about lengthy and costly options such as braces or veneers, ask your dentist about teeth contouring. This is when the dental surgeon gently files down the edges of your teeth to give a smoother and more even appearance.
One of the first things people ask about teeth contouring is—how much does it cost? Well, before you fork out thousands of dollars for a long dental treatment, you should check the price of teeth contouring at your local dentist. It usually does not cost any more than a trip to the hygienist!
As well as the money-saving benefit, teeth contouring is also a pretty fast and straightforward procedure. You can pop in on your lunch break, and be back in the office by the afternoon—to wow your colleagues with your new smile!
Another question you may be asking is—does it hurt? Thankfully, the process is generally completely painless. Your dentist will be extremely careful only to gently shave the very top layer of enamel from your teeth, so it shouldn’t affect your nerves in any way. Some people do report a slight increase in tooth sensitivity afterward, but nothing too uncomfortable.
