━ Questions answered
Tooth contouring FAQs.
Straightforward answers to the questions patients in Birmingham ask us most often.
Reshaping enamel is not usually uncomfortable and often needs no anaesthetic, as only the outer surface is refined.
Yes. Enamel does not grow back, which is why only small, carefully assessed adjustments are made.
No. Contouring refines edges only. Aligners or braces are needed to change tooth position.
Because only a small amount of enamel is polished, sensitivity is unusual. Your dentist assesses this beforehand.
Yes. We are based in Erdington and see patients from across Birmingham, including Sutton Coldfield and the surrounding areas.
