Cosmetic Teeth Contouring, Bonding and Reshaping
What Our Patients Say
Minor cosmetic contouring and polishing is a reshaping procedure to smooth out minor crooked, chipped, fractured or pointy teeth. The thickness of your tooth enamel will need to be considered before use of this procedure as it involves re-sculpting of your existing teeth.
Both treatments are relatively quick processes done within a day, with minimal discomfort, however the smallest of changes to your teeth can make a big impact on your smile.
For some patients either contouring or bonding is recommended after they have had some orthodontic treatment, or combined with teeth whitening to provide a great smile makeover.


teeth re-shaping and what’s involved?
We also use enamel clay that hardens to the strength of tooth enamel in moulding, reshaping and bonding procedures to help improve the appearance of:
Chipped teeth
Uneven tooth surfaces
Pitted tooth surfaces
Worn down areas
Slightly overlapping teeth
We can offer teeth bonding, even if your tooth is very badly chipped or worn. This is because the treatment affects the outside of your tooth and does not require any further drilling or abrasion in order to be carried out.
By covering your affected teeth in the enamel coating, you are ensuring another layer of protection, which is also great for worn down and slightly overlapping teeth, as they are more susceptible to decay.
Is teeth re-shaping or bonding for me?
To find out whether teeth re–shaping and bonding is the ideal orthodontic treatment for you, our expert cosmetic dentists will offer you a consultation.
During the consultation, you will be able to explain exactly what you would like your teeth to look like, and how you want to reach your end result. Our dentists will then offer you a range of options to achieve your desired outcome.
If teeth re–shaping and bonding is the best option for you, first we may take an x-ray of your teeth to ensure there is no underlying damage caused by existing chips or wear.
We will then be able to reshape your teeth. Re-shaping is a pain-free procedure that usually only takes around an hour to complete. As we will only affect the surface of your teeth with enamel clay, you will not need anaesthetic.
Is bonding and re-shaping available on the NHS?
Bonding and reshaping teeth is not a procedure that is available on the NHS. However, we understand how important your teeth are to you, so we have a range of payment plans to help you afford the life-changing treatment that great teeth will give you.
