Enameloplasty

Enamel refers to the hard exterior coating of a tooth. An Enameloplasty is a cosmetic procedure when the outer layer of the tooth is reshaped or recontoured. This gives the tooth a nicer, smoother, often more youthful, appearance. Enameloplasty is essentially what occurs during minimally invasive veneer preps to allow proper reduction for a porcelain veneer to fit over the teeth.

Enameloplasty is often done when teeth are lightly chipped, uneven, pointed, or contain small bumps in the enamel. These imperfections may happen for any number of reasons like grinding ones teeth, biting onto hard substances, or just plain wear over time.

What’s important is that Dr. Krusich can restore your confident smile in just one appointment in our Overland Park office by recontouring or reshaping the tooth. And, most patients find the procedure absolutely painless too.
