How many teeth can be contoured?+
There’s no standard number. It depends on each tooth’s enamel, your bite and the overall proportions of your smile. The dentist can say which ones, if any, are good candidates.
Can all the teeth be done during one appointment?+
Your assessment is the place to raise that, as it depends on what’s planned for your teeth. Be sure to ask how the work would be organized and how much time to allow.
If I change one tooth, will I need to change its neighbours?+
Not automatically, although shortening one tooth can create a difference elsewhere. That possibility should be discussed before anything’s done, since removing enamel is permanent.
When does a long list mean contouring isn’t the right treatment?+
When your goal would need significant shortening or narrowing, or a change in tooth position, colour or size. Contouring is meant for small refinements, not a major transformation of the smile.
Could veneers suit me better if many teeth bother me?+
They might be worth discussing, as veneers involve broader planning for the shape, colour and texture of front teeth. An assessment can show which options fit your concerns.
I’m in Garden Grove with a few teeth in mind. How do I ask?+
