Tooth reshaping, sometimes called enameloplasty, involves removing a very small amount of enamel to improve the shape of a tooth. A dentist may smooth a sharp corner or reduce a slight difference in length. The goal is subtle. You shouldn’t look in the mirror and wonder where half your tooth went.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 A tiny uneven edge can be smoothed without changing the whole tooth, which is often all you wanted in the first place.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 If one tooth looks slightly longer, careful reshaping can bring the front teeth closer in appearance. The change is usually quite small.<\/p>\r\n
\u2022 Rough edges are another good reason, especially when your tongue keeps finding the same spot.<\/p>\r\n
Whitening is a separate job. It doesn’t straighten teeth or change their shape. What it does is lighten the natural tooth color, which can make a reshaped smile look cleaner and more even.<\/p>\r\n
The order matters more than people think. A dentist will usually assess the teeth first and decide how much reshaping is appropriate. Whitening can then be planned around the final tooth shape and any existing dental work.<\/p>\r\n
There can also be temporary sensitivity after whitening. That’s common, but it shouldn’t be something you simply push through if it’s strong or persistent. Your dentist can adjust the treatment instead.<\/p>\r\n
