Teeth contouring (enameloplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that gently reshapes tooth enamel to improve the shape, length, or surface of your teeth. Dr. Kaady removes tiny amounts of enamel to smooth rough edges or correct minor imperfections, giving you a more even, polished smile in a single visit.
No, teeth contouring is virtually painless. Because only surface enamel is reshaped — which has no nerves — most patients need no anesthesia and feel little more than light pressure. It’s one of the most comfortable cosmetic dental procedures available.
Teeth contouring typically ranges from about $75 to $250 per tooth in Portland, depending on how much reshaping is needed. Because the procedure is quick and conservative, it’s often one of the most affordable ways to enhance your smile. We’ll give you an exact quote at your consultation.
Contouring reshapes the visible enamel of a tooth for cosmetic improvement, while crown lengthening removes small amounts of gum (and sometimes bone) to expose more tooth. Contouring changes the tooth; crown lengthening changes the gum line. Dr. Kaady will recommend the right option for your goals.
Yes. Because enamel does not grow back, teeth contouring results are permanent. That’s why it’s important to have it done by an experienced dentist like Dr. Kaady, who removes only the precise amount needed to enhance your smile while protecting your tooth’s strength.
You’re likely a good candidate if you have minor imperfections — slightly uneven, chipped, pointed, or rough-edged teeth — and generally healthy enamel. It’s not ideal for major misalignment or very thin enamel. A quick exam with Dr. Kaady will confirm whether contouring is right for you.
Most teeth contouring appointments are completed in a single visit of about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how many teeth are treated. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your normal day immediately with an improved smile.
Yes. Contouring is excellent for smoothing small chips, evening out slightly uneven teeth, and softening pointed or rough edges. For larger chips or significant damage, Dr. Kaady may recommend pairing contouring with bonding or veneers for the best result.
