Very boxy front teeth aren’t a problem, but you may simply prefer a gentler look. Contouring might soften a corner, depending on what your enamel and bite allow.
Let's find a time
Nothing is wrong with your teeth. They’re healthy enough, reasonably straight, and yet the sharp right angles at their outer corners give your smile a harder look than you’d like. This page is for Parkview Pointe residents who’ve been wondering whether something that subtle is even worth bringing to a dentist.
It can be. Rounding a corner is the type of small contour change that enamel reshaping is meant for, provided that enough healthy enamel is present and your bite isn’t compromised. Any such visit by Parkview Pointe residents is at Winnipeg North Dental, our clinic on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
Explore tooth reshaping
Wanting a softer shape is a valid reason to ask, even when the teeth are sound.
A hint of rounding often goes a long way, and it can’t be undone afterward.
Corners are considered in relation to neighbouring teeth, not one by one.
A small change at the corner can read differently depending on the whole row. Beauty and function are evaluated side by side.
Describing what you want in everyday language helps the dentist judge whether a contour change can get you there.
Your preferences then meet the realities of enamel thickness and the way your teeth come together.
Contouring can only take away, so a corner rounded too far can’t be restored without adding material such as bonding. That’s a strong argument for starting modestly.
Shape changes are judged by eye as well as by measurement. Expect the dentist to stop and compare often, and feel free to say what you think.
Request your visitPoint at the corners that bother you. Examination of enamel, overall health and your bite then shows what’s realistic.
Neighbouring teeth are compared to work out exactly where adjustment could be appropriate, and where it should be skipped.
Minimal enamel comes away with fine instruments, and symmetry is reviewed several times before anything further is removed.
The corner receives a polish, and your teeth are checked in different jaw positions to see how they meet.
Tastes vary a great deal when it comes to tooth shape. A little reflection on what you like will make the conversation more focused and more useful.
A picture can help describe a preference, but your own enamel and bite still set the boundaries of what’s possible.

Since the work stays in enamel, which has no nerve supply, it usually proceeds without local anaesthetic. You remain able to talk and give your opinion as the shape comes along.
If the shape is starting to look like what you wanted, say so before more is considered.
A sensitive feeling at any moment is a reason for the dentist to stop and reassess.
Feel free to ask for a mirror along the way, so you can judge the corner yourself.
When it’s done
It can take a little while to get used to any change in your smile. Give yourself time to adjust before forming a final opinion on the result.
A dental chair isn’t where you’ll usually see your smile, so look again at home over the next while.
If a corner feels sharp after the polish, or later on, let the clinic know so that it can be examined.
Any further rounding means a new look at what enamel remains, and it may not be recommended.

Helpful details about tooth reshaping in Parkview Pointe.
Ask our teamSlightly, when enamel and bite permit. Softening the outer corners can give a gentler outline, although contouring won’t transform the overall shape of a tooth, and a bigger change would call for a different treatment.
They can have a slight effect on how wide or long a tooth appears, as your eye reads the outline as a whole. This is one reason the dentist plans small and compares with adjacent teeth as the work goes on.
Yes, as a reason to ask. Whether to go ahead is a separate matter that depends on the enamel, the bite and how you feel about a permanent change. Mention what you’d like and the dentist can talk through it with you.
That’s your call to make. Treatment proceeds with your agreement, and it’s easy to take less away and stop. Since removal cannot be undone, a cautious preference is entirely understandable.
If both have enough enamel and the bite allows it, the plan may include each of them. Natural teeth are rarely identical, so ask how close a match is realistic for yours.
