Teeth Shaping in Sparks, NV: Quick & Conservative Smile Makeovers
If you’re unhappy with the look of your smile, you may not need extensive procedures to achieve the teeth of your dreams. You may only need a short, painless, procedure called tooth contouring.
Tooth contouring can fix small imperfections in the teeth, without lengthy procedures, pain, and at a modest cost. Also known as enameloplasty, enamel contouring, and teeth shaping, this treatment is considered to be conservative and is designed to improve the look of your smile immediately after treatment.

Teeth shaping is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that removes small amounts of your tooth enamel to improve the look of your smile. Enamel is the hard, outer layer of your tooth, and removal is generally painless.
Because the procedure only impacts the enamel, it is considered a conservative procedure. During the treatment, your Absolute Dental dentist will carefully reshape small parts of the teeth to improve their overall look and balance.
The procedure is commonly used to correct small imperfections, like chips, cracks, and uneven teeth. It is generally performed without anesthesia, although for those with dental anxieties, Absolute Dental offers several anesthesia options, if necessary.
What Can Teeth Shaping Correct?
Teeth shaping can correct a number of small, cosmetic issues. It is a cosmetic procedure, meaning it typically only affects the look of the teeth, rather than overall oral health.
Some of the most common issues teeth shaping corrects includes:
Chips and cracks: One of the most common uses for teeth shaping is to even out small chips and cracks in the teeth, without the need for dental bonding, crowns, or other more invasive and time-consuming measures.
Uneven tooth edges: Uneven tooth edges can be remedied with tooth shaping to be more balanced, straight, and symmetrical.
Teeth that are too long: Teeth that are too long or are otherwise oversized can be filed down to create a more pleasing appearance.
Pointed teeth: Teeth that are pointed can be gently rounded for a softer and gentler appearance.
Overlapping teeth: Overlapping teeth can sometimes be remedied with tooth shaping by creating better spacing and alignment.
Other surface irregularities: Groves, ridges, or other rough areas can often be smoothed with enameloplasty.
While tooth shaping cannot fix major orthodontic issues, people with minor issues often find the most conservative and simple treatments are best.
With this offer, there’s no excuse not to get back on track! Schedule a complete exam and x-rays for only $39 and ensure you have a beautiful healthy smile.

The Teeth Shaping Procedure Overview
The teeth shaping procedure should take just one visit to our office.
First, you’ll receive an initial consultation where a dentist will look at your teeth to gauge if you are a good candidate for teeth shaping or if other procedures might suit your unique situation better. The dentist will check for both the health of your teeth, as well as their aesthetics.
If all goals are aligned, your dentist can usually begin shaping right away, with no further visits to the office. Using small dental instruments, your dentist will gently remove tiny amounts of our tooth enamel until your smile is perfect.
Following the reshaping, your dentist will smooth and polish your teeth, so they look and feel natural. Afterwards, you can enjoy your new smile immediately without any recovery time. You should also be able to eat and drink normally after the procedure.
Benefits of Enamel Contouring
The first and most obvious benefit of enamel contouring is the improved look of the smile post procedure. These benefits are immediate and offer increased symmetry, smoother teeth, and the softening of chips, cracks, and other cosmetic issues.
Among the greatest benefits of enamel contouring come from the minimally invasive nature. Unlike veneers or crowns, contouring preserves almost all of your natural teeth. Results are both quick and painless, and anesthesia is generally not necessary, unless severe dental anxieties are present.
Due to its quick and conservative nature, enamel contouring is also relatively modestly priced.
Because tooth contouring is a cosmetic procedure, it is usually not covered by dental insurance. However, Absolute Dental offers several ways to pay, as well as generous financing and payment plans to help every member of our community achieve the smile of their dreams.
Combining Teeth Shaping With Other Treatments
Tooth shaping is often combined with other procedures to create the perfect smile, if shaping alone cannot fix all problems.
One of the procedures most often used is dental bonding. Bonding is a procedure where composite material is added to the teeth to help reshape the area where removal is not suitable. This can help reduce gaps and fix chips.
Whitening is also a good choice to go with teeth shaping and can dramatically improve the look of a smile. In some cases, tooth shaping can also help prepare teeth for veneers or can help blend natural teeth with veneers.
If you think you might benefit from more than one procedure, contact Absolute Dental today.

We also accept Medicaid.
Tooth reshaping is considered to be agenerally safe procedure. However, like any dental procedure, there are some risks involved. The procedure is not suitable for everyone and should only be used to correct small issues.
The removal of enamel is also permanent, and without further cosmetic treatments, such as bonding, it cannot be reversed. In very few cases, some patients will experience additional sensitivity after the procedure.
In every case, teeth filing should always be performed by a trained and licensed dentist and should never be attempted at home.

In general, no, teeth shaping doesn’t hurt. Because it only shapes the enamel, the hard outer part of the teeth where no nerves are present, no pain is associated with the procedure. It is generally done without anesthesia.
While the cost of both veneers and teeth shaping is dependent on your unique dental situation, teeth shaping is generally much more modestly priced than veneers.
No, reshaped teeth don’t require any special maintenance. You should maintain your teeth as normal by brushing twice per day, flossing in the evening, and seeing your dentist at least twice per year.
