                | Enamel Shaping |  
                |  | Enamel Shaping (Contouring) is the process of shaping 
                    natural teeth to improve their appearance. Shaping can be 
                    used to correct minor cases of crowded or overlapping teeth, 
                    smooth rough edges, or make small adjustments to the shape 
                    of a tooth. No anesthesia is necessary!

                        of her four front teeth. |  
 
                     
                      |  After: Minor contouring (shaping) of the enamel 
                        makes her teeth smooth and natural looking! |  |  |  |  |
