Do cameras really distort how teeth look?+
They can. Lighting, lens and angle all affect how a tooth appears. That’s why an in-person look is needed to establish whether the difference you saw exists on the tooth.
Can I show a picture of the smile I’d like?+
Yes, a picture can help explain your taste. Bear in mind that contouring only makes minor refinements, and it can’t add length, add width or change colour.
Will people be able to tell I’ve had it done?+
The changes involved are small by design. How visible one turns out to be depends on your tooth, so ask the dentist what would be realistic in your case.
I have an event coming up. Is contouring a good last-minute option?+
Be careful about rushing a permanent decision. Request a visit, mention your date, and leave room to think, because enamel taken away does not come back. Availability is confirmed by the clinic.
What if the difference I noticed is really in my gums?+
A tooth can look long or uneven because of recession or tooth position, and contouring won’t correct either one. If the gumline is the source, the dentist can explain what other care might be relevant.
