Smooth symmetrical smile

What is Teeth Contouring?

Teeth contouring, also called enamel reshaping, is a conservative cosmetic treatment that gently removes small amounts of tooth enamel to improve the shape, length, or surface of your teeth. This treatment can smooth rough edges, reduce minor chips, or create better symmetry between teeth.

The treatment is typically completed in a single visit using specialized dental instruments to carefully sculpt the tooth surface. At Imagine Your Smile in Woodbury, MN, Dr. Wilhelm uses precise techniques to ensure only the necessary amount of enamel is removed while maintaining the tooth’s strength and health.

  • Removes small amounts of enamel to reshape tooth surfaces
  • Corrects minor chips, rough edges, and asymmetry
  • Usually completed in a single appointment with 
immediate results

Perfect Candidate Assessment

Who Is Teeth Contouring For?

Teeth contouring is ideal for patients with minor imperfections who want quick improvements to their smile. This conservative treatment works best for small adjustments that make a big difference in overall appearance.

Patients with Minor Tooth Irregularities

Those with slightly uneven, pointed, or rough tooth edges that create an unpolished appearance when smiling or speaking.

People Wanting Quick Cosmetic Improvements

Individuals seeking immediate results without extensive procedures, recovery time, or multiple appointments to enhance their smile.

Anyone with Small Chips or Sharp Edges

Patients whose teeth have minor damage or naturally sharp points that feel uncomfortable or look distracting in their smile.

Do any of these situations sound familiar to you?

You notice small imperfections every time you look in the mirror, and these minor flaws make you feel less confident about your overall appearance.
  • Noticing Uneven Tooth Edges: Your teeth have slightly different lengths or jagged edges that make your smile appear rough or unfinished.
  • Feeling One Tooth That Stands Out: A single tooth looks noticeably different from the others, drawing unwanted attention when you smile or talk.
  • Running Your Tongue Over Rough Spots: You constantly feel sharp or uneven areas on your teeth that are distracting or uncomfortable throughout the day.
  • Wanting Minor Adjustments Only: You like your smile overall but wish a few small changes could make it look more polished and symmetrical.
  • Avoiding Close-Up Photos: You turn away from cameras or avoid smiling widely because minor tooth imperfections become noticeable in pictures.
  • Feeling Your Smile Looks Childish: Pointed or uneven teeth make your smile appear immature, and you want a more refined, adult appearance.
  • Wishing for Subtle Improvements: You don't want dramatic changes, just small refinements that will make your smile look more balanced and attractive.
  • Dealing with Small Chips: Minor chips from accidents or wear make your teeth look damaged, even though the damage isn't severe.
  • Wanting Immediate Results: You're looking for a quick solution that doesn't require multiple visits or lengthy treatment plans to see improvements.
  • Seeking Conservative Treatment: You prefer minimal intervention that preserves your natural tooth structure while improving your smile's appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teeth Contouring FAQs

Thinking about teeth contouring to improve your smile? This simple cosmetic procedure can make a big difference in how your teeth look. Here are answers to the most common questions our Woodbury patients ask about teeth contouring.

What is teeth contouring?

Teeth contouring, also called enamel shaping, is a quick cosmetic procedure that reshapes your teeth by removing small amounts of enamel. We can smooth rough edges, fix minor chips, adjust tooth length, or improve overall tooth shape to create a more balanced, attractive smile.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during contouring. Since we only remove small amounts of surface enamel and don’t reach the nerve, anesthesia usually isn’t necessary. You might feel slight pressure or vibration, but the procedure is generally pain-free and well-tolerated.
Contouring is one of our quickest cosmetic treatments, typically completed in 30-60 minutes depending on how many teeth need reshaping. Many patients are surprised how much difference we can make in such a short appointment, often seeing immediate improvements to their smile.
Contouring works well for minor imperfections like small chips, slightly uneven teeth, rough edges, or teeth that appear too long or pointed. It’s perfect for subtle improvements that make a noticeable difference. However, it can’t fix major damage, large gaps, or severely misaligned teeth
Yes, the results are permanent since we remove enamel that won’t grow back. However, your teeth can still experience normal wear over time or develop new chips from accidents. The good news is that properly contoured teeth often look better for many years.
Absolutely! Contouring often works beautifully with teeth whitening, bonding, or veneers as part of a comprehensive smile makeover. Dr. Wilhelm might recommend contouring to prepare teeth for other treatments or as a finishing touch to perfect your results.
Contouring is very safe when performed by an experienced dentist. We carefully evaluate your tooth structure first and only remove minimal amounts of enamel. Removing too much could increase sensitivity or weaken teeth, which is why proper assessment and technique are crucial.
Contouring is one of our most affordable cosmetic treatments, making it an excellent way to improve your smile on any budget. The exact cost depends on how many teeth need reshaping and the complexity of the work required during your procedure.
Ideal candidates have healthy teeth with minor cosmetic concerns and adequate enamel thickness. During your consultation, we’ll examine your teeth to ensure contouring is safe and will achieve your desired results. Sometimes other treatments might be more appropriate for your goals.
Continue your normal oral hygiene routine of brushing twice daily and flossing. Avoid habits that could chip or damage your newly shaped teeth, like chewing ice or using teeth as tools. Regular dental checkups help maintain your results and overall oral health.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Wilhelm and his invaluable staff. The process for my implant dentures was thoroughly explained. I was treated with respect and kindness throughout this entire process and would recommend Imagine Your Smile to anyone who is considering replacement teeth. From walking in the reception area to leaving after an appointment is a cared-for experience. Thank you!!

I went to see Dr. Wilhelm after spending 3 years trying to get a decent set of dentures for my implants. I honestly expected to be disappointed again. I was so WRONG. Dr Wilhelm did the most amazing job! I feel like I won the lottery. I look like me again for the first time in years. I am so happy I cried. Every person in that office is so kind. For the first time in my life I look forward to going to the dentist!!!!

I saw Dr. Wilhelm back in 2006 for an upper denture and extraction. Throughout the process, Dr. Wilhelm checked in with me through the extraction to ensure I was comfortable and not feeling any pain. He even called me later that evening to check in and see how I was doing. His team is professional, caring and knowledgeable. I have told a lot of people about my experience with him as I was so lucky to find such a great team. I can’t thank them enough. BTW, even to this day, my denture (no implants) has fit like a glove and is in great condition. I have not needed anything to hold it in place.

Dr. Wilhelm has been our family dentist for more than 20 years. His staff at Imagine Your Smile could not have been more attentive providing information and reassurance while I considered implant surgery. They were detailed and professional during preparation for the procedure. The surgery went on without difficulty or discomfort. The follow-up was thoughtful, considerate, and professional. I’ve always been confident that Dr. Wilhelm and his staff provide the best dental care available. Outstanding work.

I have been a patient of Dr. Wilhelm since I was kid. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had such wonderful dental care over the past 20+ years. I just had my first filling for a cavity and Dr. Wilhelm and his team did an amazing job. They are professional, thorough, and efficient. I didn’t feel a thing and the filling is absolutely beautiful and blends in with the tooth. Thanks Dr. Wilhelm!

At first i Went to one of them in and out of the dental clinics that are advertised on tv. it was a nightmare. my dentures didn’t fit,my bite was way off, couldn’t eat without having dentures come loose. Then I went to DR. Wilhelm at first i was a little seceptic. but in the end I been so happy with my new dentures. no sticky paste or powders to hold my dentures in. now i am back to eating steak, corn on the cob,and everything i used to eat when i had my original teeth. Dr Wilhelm is a master of his craft.

Dr. Wilhelm and his staff did an amazing job on my daughter’s teeth. She had lost her 2 front teeth and needed implants and some cosmetic dental work. The entire process went smoothly and the end result is beautiful. I couldn’t be any happier I would highly recommend him for any dental work.

Nancy Riesterer

The first time I went to see Dr. Wilhelm was about 16 years ago – I was absolutely so impressed. He was so detailed, took the time to explain everything. Three years ago I started having issues with my teeth – my mouth was changing. I decided to try local. I could not handle it anymore, my mouth was so bothersome and I was telling my wife how I should have just gone to Dr. Wilhelm. So I did! My wife says I just shine when I smile. Talk about another great pair of dentures. I cannot thank you enough Dr. Wilhelm and your staff! Another job well done!

They provide excellent dental care. I go for the general dentistry cleanings and exams. Laurie the Hygienist is easy to talk with and puts you at ease. Great education on any questions you might have about your teeth. Doc Wilhelm is very thorough. Even if you don’t have prosthodontic issues, this team is well qualified to handle your dental needs.

Adam Begley

I can’t say enough about my great experience with the entire staff. I had previous implants and dentures started by someone else and was very dissatisfied with the results so far. Dr. Mark and Steph were great to work with and so nice and patient with me! Dr. Mark immediately saw what the problems were before I even explained what I felt was wrong. Over the next several months, he worked with me to find the perfect placement and look. He even brought in an outside speech therapist for a consultation for me. I am completely satisfied and grateful for his time and expertise. My only regret is that I didn’t go see him in the first place!

Dr. Wilhelm and his staff are truly an outstanding team, and I highly recommend them for any procedure. I have been a patient for many years, and when I was facing major work with much apprehension, Dr. Wilhelm was kind and encouraging, helping me to overcome my fear.

The staff at Image Your Smile are fabulous people. They are kind , polite and professional . I had a terrible experiences with a dentist as a young kid and was always anxious about going because having a sore mouth for a week was the norm back then .These people do high quality work, explain the procedure and make you feel welcome from the time that you walk in the door . I am excited about having a new smile that I can display and would recommend that if you need restorative work , that you give them a call.

James Krieger

Expectations exceeded. I haven’t had much luck in this field but I was treated very well here. The appointment was set up within a week! They took me in a little early. Dr. Wilhelms assistant was fabulous, she was not only nice but genuine! Budget was an important aspect of my service needs and I was given many options and found a reasonable solution. They went on to take the impressions for the next step without first making me schedule a new appointment . They showed me costs upfront and total cost, (no hidden side service, xray, taxes, etc.) I highly reccomend this establishment every step of the way.
