Recontouring

Re-contouring can be carried out on either the teeth or the gum in certain circumstances.

If one or more teeth are longer than the others or have an irregular edge, it is straightforward to adjust the edges so as to match the surrounding teeth. This is a very simple and painless procedure that does not even need an anaesthetic.

Case by IB

Re-contouring the gum can be done if margins of the gum on one or more teeth are at noticeably different levels from the adjacent teeth, resulting in a poor appearance of the smile, or the teeth generally appear short. This is sometimes known as a “gum lift” and is often used in conjunction with veneers and crowns.

"We've been coming to this practice for several years now on a recommendation from a friend. They weren't wrong to suggest it. Miles is a great dentist for children - reassuring and caring but also genuinely interested in them! However the reason for writing a review is that my elderly mother felt faint after her hygienist appt last week. She was looked after until she felt better and then a member of staff took her home to make sure she was okay. Great service!"

"Ian Brignall has transformed my smile. I had very worn front & lower teeth from constant grinding over the years. Ian has managed to make the composite build up blend perfectly with my natural teeth. They feel and look completely natural, only straighter. I also had teeth whitening to compliment the work."

"I have been a patient for over 5 years now and would not go anywhere else. As soon as I met Dr. Mac I knew teeth would be in great hands. She is calm, thorough and always honest and upfront when discussing treatment plans etc. I never thought I'd say this, but it is a pleasure visiting Dr. Mac and the team! Thank you!"
