Tooth Reshaping Keeps Things Simple
Tooth reshaping, sometimes called enameloplasty, is about making a small change to the tooth itself. Your dentist gently removes a tiny amount of enamel to smooth an uneven edge or improve the shape. If the chip is minor, this can be a really sensible fix.
When It Makes Sense
• A tiny chip near the front edge can be a great fit, especially when the tooth still looks healthy.
• It feels quick because your dentist is making a small adjustment rather than rebuilding the visible surface.
Veneers Change the Look More
Veneers take a different approach. A thin shell is bonded to the front of the tooth, covering the chipped area and changing its appearance at the same time. That makes veneers useful when the chip is more noticeable or when you also want to change the tooth’s overall shape.
