Sometimes, it’s the slightly uneven edges, minor chips, or one tooth that’s just a bit too long that throws off a smile. At Santucci Orthodontics in Wichita, we offer teeth reshaping, also known as enameloplasty, as a quick and conservative treatment that smooths and sculpts the outer surface of the teeth for a more polished, even appearance. It’s a simple way to enhance your smile without major procedures, perfect on its own or combined with other treatments like whitening or orthodontics.
Teeth reshaping is ideal for people who want small cosmetic improvements without committing to more involved procedures. You may be a good fit if you:
Because the procedure only removes a small amount of enamel, it works best for people with healthy teeth and no major structural issues. We’ll assess your bite and enamel thickness first to make sure reshaping is a safe and effective option.
Teeth reshaping, often called enamel reshaping or tooth contouring, is a quick, non-invasive procedure that gently smooths and sculpts the outer enamel. Using fine polishing tools, we carefully remove small amounts of enamel to adjust the length, shape, or surface of each targeted tooth. The process is precise and completely painless—no numbing or recovery time needed.
Most appointments take less than 30 minutes, and the results are immediate. Teeth appear more even, balanced, and natural, often enhancing the overall harmony of your smile. In some cases, we may pair reshaping with bonding for a more complete cosmetic result.
As a specialty orthodontic office, we don’t rush into cosmetic treatments. We evaluate your enamel, alignment, and bite to ensure reshaping supports your long-term smile health. Whether used alone or alongside braces, aligners, or whitening, our approach is always safe, minimal, and effective.
