A conservative, painless way to perfect your smile. Tooth reshaping and dental contouring is a conservative adjustment that improves the appearance of your smile and eliminates imperfections. Dr. Lana Rozenberg, one of Manhattan’s top dental contouring specialists, uses precise artistic techniques and innovative materials to gently refine tooth shape, smooth uneven edges, and create beautiful harmony across your smile in a single painless visit.
Teeth contouring, also known as enameloplasty or tooth reshaping, is a quick, painless cosmetic procedure that refines the shape, length, and surface of your teeth. By carefully removing tiny amounts of enamel, Dr. Rozenberg can smooth uneven edges, round pointed teeth, adjust minor length differences, and improve overall smile symmetry.
Born and raised in New York, Dr. Lana Rozenberg earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific Dental School in San Francisco, where she graduated in the top 10% of her class. She completed specialized training in surgical and prosthetic aspects of implants at New York University School of Continuing Education and a residency in periodontics at NYU. As a highly qualified cosmetic dentist and founder of Rozenberg Dental NYC, she performs reshaping and contouring procedures with innovative materials, ensuring every patient preserves their natural looking smile.
Reshaping and other restorative procedures improve the appearance of your smile while saving your natural tooth structure. With this outstanding treatment, you will enjoy an enhanced smile that looks and feels completely authentic. The results are immediate, permanent, and require no recovery time.
Stop suffering from cosmetic concerns and enhance the appearance of your smile. Teeth contouring addresses a range of imperfections that can make a significant difference in your overall look.
Teeth that appear different lengths are carefully reshaped to create a uniform, balanced smile line. This is most commonly applied to the upper front incisors and canines, your most visible teeth.
Tiny chips, pits, or surface irregularities are smoothed away, restoring a clean and flawless look. Chipped or fractured areas are refined so specific angles and edges achieve a more desirable shape.
Overly pointed canine teeth are gently rounded and softened for a more natural, harmonious appearance. Contouring can adjust the shape to create a softer, more refined smile.
Minor overlapping between teeth can be reduced by carefully reshaping the edges, creating a more aligned appearance. Contouring can also address minor bite problems by improving how teeth meet.
Dr. Rozenberg examines your teeth, takes dental X rays, and reviews your dental history. Digital imaging is used to assess tooth shape, enamel thickness, symmetry, and proportions.
A customized reshaping plan is created based on your smile goals. Dr. Rozenberg explains exactly which teeth will be contoured and what the expected results will look like.
Using fine diamond instruments, Dr. Rozenberg carefully removes a tiny amount of tooth enamel to sculpt a more pleasing shape, refining edges, rounding angles, and creating better alignment.
The contoured teeth are smoothed and polished to a natural, luminous finish that blends seamlessly with the rest of your smile. A follow up appointment is scheduled to evaluate your results.
There are several ways to change the appearance of your teeth. Many times these procedures are combined in different ways to deliver the smile of your dreams.
The reshaping of your teeth involves the removal of a very small amount of tooth structure to achieve a more desirable smile. Chipped or fractured areas are smoothed out, and specific angles or edges can be rounded or squared. Since teeth can become weaker if too much enamel is removed, this conservative technique is ideal for minor adjustments.
Veneers are sometimes used in conjunction with contouring for more comprehensive results. These ultra thin pieces of specially shaped porcelain are bonded over the front of your teeth with little or no anesthesia needed. Unlike crowns, veneers preserve most of the natural tooth structure.

Bonding covers natural flaws by applying a thin coating of tooth colored composite resin to the front surface of your teeth. Dr. Rozenberg sculpts, colors, and shapes the bonding material to provide a seamless result. This procedure frequently accompanies contouring and reshaping. Learn more about bonding
The first step in the tooth contouring and reshaping process is a comprehensive examination of your teeth to determine how reshaping will accomplish your goal of smile enhancement. This enables our team of specialists to ensure that the teeth being reshaped are contoured perfectly, leaving you with a better and healthier look. Most often, tooth contouring only involves the removal of a small amount of enamel, and you will likely not need even a local anesthetic.
At Rozenberg Dental NYC, we offer cosmetic tooth shaping using innovative materials alongside an excellent structure of care in a unique atmosphere of total luxury and comfort. Our smoothing and polishing techniques deliver high quality results, and our team provides thorough consultations so you understand every aspect of your treatment.
Teeth contouring is one of the most conservative cosmetic dental procedures available. Unlike veneers or crowns, which require more significant preparation, contouring involves removing only a minimal amount of surface enamel to achieve noticeable improvements. We would not reshape your teeth if any bite imbalances could result from the adjustment. In those cases, our specialists would recommend one of several other highly effective cosmetic dental procedures to achieve your goals safely.
The best candidates for teeth contouring are patients with healthy teeth and adequate enamel thickness who want subtle cosmetic improvements. The procedure is not recommended for patients with thin enamel, large chips, or significant alignment issues. During your consultation, Dr. Rozenberg will evaluate your enamel thickness with digital imaging and recommend the best approach for your specific goals.
Patients with slightly uneven or irregular tooth shapes
Those with minor chips or rough edges on front teeth
Patients wanting subtle cosmetic improvement without veneers
Anyone looking for a quick, painless smile enhancement
Patients preparing for a special event or professional photos
Those who want to improve smile symmetry and proportion

I took my niece to Rozenberg Dental. She is a beautiful person inside and out but the overcrowding of teeth diminished her beautiful smile. ... She opted for porcelain veneers. They created her beautiful smile.
Rachel is AMAZING!! She’s the only hygienist in decades who has been able to convince me to take care of my teeth properly and consistently.
