What is tooth contouring and reshaping?
Tooth contouring and reshaping is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves removing small amounts of enamel to improve the appearance of teeth. This technique is used to fix minor imperfections such as uneven teeth, small chips, or slightly overlapping teeth.
The process is quick and painless, often completed in a single visit. By subtly altering the shape, length, or surface of the teeth, tooth contouring and reshaping can significantly enhance the overall look of your smile without the need for extensive dental work.
What procedures are available for a smile makeover?
Tooth contouring and reshaping can fix a variety of minor dental issues. These include:
- Uneven Teeth: Smoothing out teeth that are irregular in shape or size.
- Small Chips: Removing or smoothing out minor chips in the teeth.
- Overlapping Teeth: Reducing slight overlaps to improve alignment.
- Pointed Teeth: Rounding off excessively pointy or jagged teeth.
- Minor Crowding: Creating space between slightly crowded teeth.
- Surface Imperfections: Smoothing out pits or grooves on the tooth surface.
This procedure enhances the overall appearance of your smile without extensive dental work.

It's always a pleasure to go to Dr. Kathy Zahedi,s office. The staff is super great and Dr. Zahedi is amazing. Today I had her work on my crowns and the procedure was painless, I didn’t even feel the needle or the removal of the crowns. I was completely comfortable. Dr. Kathy and her dental assistants asked me many times during the procedure if I was comfortable.
I would recommend Dr. Kathy Zahedi, and her staff to any one that asked me.

This is a painless soothing veneer experience. Kathy is indeed exceptional on getting the job done. I have always dream of having big natural smiles and I am thankful I went to her. I am currently getting my veneer done and I love the job Kathy does on my teeth. And I also love the facility and people there for offering a great service. They are so patient so kind and happy there. It’s an incredible experience. I highly recommend Kathy on your veneers. Thank you!! 🌷❤️
I have had the best best best experience with Dr. Zahedi and her team. I visited her after another dentist’s experience caused some major anxiety and fear. She has met me where I’m at emotionally with the deepest empathy, care, and respect. She listens to me, spends time with me, and makes sure I leave her office feeling better than when I arrived. She is like your most caring best friend, your favorite auntie, and the mother you wish you had. She has texted me on her days off to find out how I’m doing and feeling. I will never go to anyone else for my dental needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Individuals with healthy teeth seeking to fix minor cosmetic issues—such as small chips, uneven tooth length, or slight overlaps—are ideal candidates. Those with significant dental problems or thin enamel may need to consider alternative treatments.
No, the procedure is typically painless because only the outer enamel is removed, which doesn’t contain nerves. Therefore, anesthesia is usually not required.
There’s no recovery period needed after tooth contouring and reshaping. Patients can resume normal activities immediately and should maintain good oral hygiene practices to preserve the results.
Maintain regular oral hygiene by brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist for routine check-ups. Avoid biting hard objects to prevent damaging the reshaped teeth.
