In some cases, small adjustments to the shape of the teeth can significantly improve how a smile looks and flows. Tooth reshaping is a conservative, in-office procedure used to refine the shape, length, or edges of the teeth.
At OP Smiles, these refinements are guided by the OP Smile™, our 10-pillar framework that defines the highest standard of orthodontic results. Tooth reshaping allows us to refine the final details so the smile is balanced, proportional, and complete.
Tooth reshaping, also called enameloplasty or tooth contouring, is a precise procedure used to make small adjustments to the edges and surface of the teeth to improve shape and proportion.
It involves carefully refining a minimal amount of enamel to enhance the overall balance of the smile. The procedure is typically quick, does not require anesthetic, and is well tolerated by patients, with results visible immediately.
When appropriate, we use tooth reshaping to address details such as:

Tooth shape and proportions are one of the ten pillars of the OP Smile™. The size, length, and contour of each tooth all contribute to how balanced and natural the smile appears.
Even when teeth are well aligned, small differences in shape or proportion can affect the overall result. In select cases, tooth reshaping allows us to refine those details so the teeth fit together more harmoniously within the smile.
When used appropriately, it allows us to refine the result so that tooth shape, proportion, and alignment work together as intended.
Tooth reshaping is a conservative procedure that involves only the outer layer of enamel and removes a minimal amount of tooth structure.
When performed conservatively, it preserves the strength of the tooth and is well tolerated by patients. Each tooth is carefully evaluated to ensure reshaping is appropriate and beneficial.
Many patients do not come in asking for tooth reshaping by name. They simply notice that something about their smile does not look quite right, even when everything else appears aligned.
In many cases, that comes down to small differences in shape or proportion that can be refined with a precise, conservative approach.
If you feel your smile could be more balanced, it may be worth a closer evaluation. Schedule a complimentary consultation at our Boone or North Wilkesboro office, and we will assess your smile and guide you through the options that best support a natural, well-proportioned result.
