Odontoplasty in New York City, NY

Your odontoplasty procedure should only take around 30 minutes and typically does not require any anesthesia. To perform this procedure, your dentist will use a small handheld device to remove small pieces of enamel layer by layer. If you have a chipped or cracked tooth, we will smooth out the edges to match the appearance of your other teeth. During this treatment, we're essentially thinning out your tooth enamel to create an even and seamless-looking smile. There are no nerves or blood vessels in the enamel of the tooth, so it's a relatively simple procedure that shouldn't cause much discomfort if any at all.

After your tooth reshaping procedure, you can get back to your normal everyday routine. You shouldn't have to worry about pain, bleeding, or swelling with this procedure, but you might notice that your teeth are a little sensitive to hot and cold foods or beverages. This will subside naturally. It's important to maintain your oral health routine at home, so you should brush twice daily and floss once a day. We also suggest avoiding hard foods like hard candies or ice. If you have any questions or concerns after your treatment, feel free to reach out to our New York City staff.
