Tooth Recontouring
Subtle reshaping that makes a real difference — quick, painless, and often overlooked.
Small Changes, Big Impact
Recontouring is one of the simplest cosmetic procedures — and often the most underrated. Here in Nottingham, we see clients who are surprised by what a small amount of reshaping can achieve. By gently reshaping tooth edges, we can smooth chips, even out lengths, and create a more harmonious smile. It's quick, painless, and the results are immediate.
Why It's Often Overlooked
Recontouring doesn't get the attention of veneers or whitening, but for the right cases, it can make a significant difference with minimal intervention. We'll tell you honestly if it's appropriate for your situation.

The Process
01
Assessment
We examine your teeth and discuss what changes would improve balance and symmetry.
02
Reshaping
Using fine diamond burs and polishing discs, we gently remove tiny amounts of enamel to smooth and reshape.
03
Polishing
Final smoothing for a natural finish. Only a fraction of a millimetre is removed — well within safe limits. No anaesthetic is needed.
Recontouring: From £75 per tooth
Often Combined With...
Recontouring works beautifully alongside other treatments. Clients across Nottingham often combine it with whitening (for maximum impact) or bonding (to both remove and add material). Sometimes it's the finishing touch after orthodontics.
