Your dentist carefully smooths or reduces part of a pointed tooth so its edge blends better with the teeth around it.<\/p>\r\n<h3>When Reshaping Makes Sense<\/h3>\r\n<p>\u2022 A tiny point that catches your tongue, though the annoying little rough feeling is often the first thing people notice.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u2022 A tooth that looks slightly longer or sharper than the one beside it. A small adjustment can make the two look much more even.<\/p>\r\n<h2>Where Bonding Comes In<\/h2>\r\n<p>Bonding is useful when removing enamel isn&#8217;t the right move, or when reshaping alone won&#8217;t create the look you want. Your dentist applies a tooth-colored resin to the tooth and shapes it before hardening and polishing the material.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Reshaping or Bonding?<\/h3>\r\n<p>The choice depends on the tooth, not a generic recipe. Your dentist will check how much enamel is available and how your teeth meet when you bite.<\/p>\r\n<h2>What the Appointment Feels Like<\/h2>\r\n<p>Most cosmetic reshaping appointments are fairly quick. Bonding can take longer because the material has to be placed and shaped carefully, but you aren&#8217;t signing up for some huge dental project.<\/p>\r\n<h2>A Small Change Can Be Enough<\/h2>\r\n<p>Bonding can also wear or chip over time, especially if you bite hard objects or grind your teeth. Reshaped enamel doesn&#8217;t grow back, so that decision deserves a little thought too.<\/p>\r\n<p><br \/>Visit our page on <a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.envysmile.co.uk\/composite-bonding-london\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"536\" data-end=\"569\"><strong data-start=\"537\" data-end=\"565\">composite bonding London<\/strong><\/a> to explore treatment options, costs, and expert advice.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Tooth Reshaping Actually Does Tooth reshaping, sometimes called enameloplasty, is a small cosmetic adjustment.
