Is it silly to see a dentist about something no one else notices?+
Not at all. Plenty of people want to ask about small things, and you’ll learn what’s causing it. The answer might also be reassuring, even if you decide against treatment.
Will contouring make me feel better about my smile?+
No one can promise that. It may refine a small detail if your tooth is suitable, but how you’ll feel is personal. Discuss what you’re hoping for so that your expectations are realistic.
How noticeable will the change be?+
Contouring is designed for subtle changes, not major ones. The dentist can explain what a proposed adjustment might do for your tooth, and whether it would address what you’re seeing.
Can you tell me if it’s even worth doing?+
The dentist can tell you what’s suitable for the tooth and describe what each option involves. Since enamel doesn’t grow back, the final choice about a permanent change is yours.
What if the thing I hide isn’t about tooth shape?+
Then contouring isn’t likely to be the answer, since it can’t change colour, position or gum levels. Ask about the other treatments that address those concerns instead.
