How Much Tooth Contouring Can Be Done Safely?

There is a limit in how much of the teeth can be removed during the reshaping. The amount varies from tooth to tooth but usually we are talking about 0.5-1.0 mm. Sometimes may be slightly more before the tooth becomes sensitive. You may say this is very little and no difference is made by such small changes! But remember in dental terms, 1 millimetre can make a big difference and has a big impact on the appearance of the teeth. We know this from experience and treating 100s of patients.
