What is the process of filing your teeth?

Filing your teeth, often referred to as tooth reshaping or contouring, involves a dentist using a specialized tool to gently remove small amounts of enamel to alter the shape, length, or surface of the teeth. This cosmetic procedure is typically quick, painless, and can improve the appearance of uneven or pointy teeth. The dentist will assess your teeth and discuss your desired outcome before proceeding. After the filing, they may polish the teeth to ensure a smooth finish.
