Teeth contouring–also known as tooth reshaping–is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to alter the shape, length, or surface of your teeth. This minimally invasive treatment involves a careful reshaping of the enamel—the outer layer of your teeth—to improve their overall harmony and proportion. It’s a precise and straightforward process that can be performed by Marianne Cohan, DDS, right here in our Summerlin office.
The procedure typically begins with a thorough examination and planning phase. Dr. Cohan and her dedicated team use digital imaging or X-rays to assess your teeth and verify that contouring won’t compromise their structure or function. Once we identify the areas to address, the process involves removing tiny amounts of enamel to smooth edges, eliminate imperfections, or correct minor irregularities.
Sanding discs, diamond-tipped instruments, or lasers are commonly used to gently file down the enamel. These tools allow for a high degree of accuracy, so that only the necessary adjustments are made without affecting neighboring teeth or causing discomfort. For areas requiring fine detail, we may also use polishing strips or other precision tools to perfect the final shape.
Throughout the procedure, Dr. Cohan works slowly and carefully, often pausing to check the symmetry and overall alignment of your teeth. The process is still quick, typically completed in a single visit, and doesn’t typically require anesthesia since the enamel has no nerves. After the reshaping is complete, your teeth are polished to create a smooth and natural finish.
Teeth contouring is a meticulous process that relies on the dentist’s skill and an understanding of symmetry and proportion. For over 30 years, Dr. Cohan has done award-winning work for patients in the Las Vegas area.
Teeth contouring can give your smile a more symmetrical and polished appearance by smoothing out imperfections like uneven edges, chipped spots, or irregular tooth shapes. These subtle adjustments can dramatically enhance the harmony of your teeth, creating a more proportionate and attractive look. It’s an ideal option for patients who want a refined smile without undergoing major cosmetic treatments.
Since teeth contouring involves only the outer enamel layer, there’s no need for anesthesia, and patients usually experience minimal to no discomfort. The simplicity of the procedure often appeals to those looking for fast results without long recovery times.
Teeth contouring is a very safe and low-risk cosmetic dental treatment. Since it only involves reshaping the enamel, there’s no impact on the inner structure of the teeth, such as the dentin or pulp. With no anesthesia required and minimal alteration to your natural teeth, it’s a gentle option for improving your smile.
Beyond aesthetics, contouring can help eliminate tiny overlaps or rough spots where plaque and bacteria may accumulate. By smoothing these areas, the procedure supports better hygiene and often reduces the risk of decay or gum problems. Additionally, adjusting teeth that may cause slight biting issues can lead to improved alignment, making day-to-day chewing and cleaning even more effective. It’s a small step toward a healthier smile.
Teeth contouring works seamlessly with other cosmetic dental treatments to create a comprehensive smile makeover. It can be combined with procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, or bonding to enhance overall results. For example, contouring can refine tooth shape, while whitening treatments make your teeth shine brighter. Its versatility makes it an ideal option for patients considering a customized approach.
If your insurance doesn’t cover teeth contouring, never fear—you can apply for CareCredit financing in our office. We want as many people as possible to have access to quality cosmetic dentistry, and we hope this option will help achieve that.
Dr. Cohan is a highly respected dentist. The Las Vegas Review-Journal named her “Best Cosmetic Dentist,” and her colleagues voted her the Best Dentist in America. When you come to our office, you can be confident that your dental care is in good hands.
Everything patients from The Summit, The Ridges, Queensridge, Henderson, Centennial Hills, Spring Valley, and all surrounding areas want to know about reshaping your smile quickly, affordably, and painlessly at Summerlin Dental Solutions, the practice voted Best of Las Vegas 19 times.
Sometimes the difference between a smile you hide and a smile you love comes down to millimeters. A slightly overlapping edge. A single tooth that is just a fraction longer than the one beside it. A small chip from years ago that catches the light at the wrong angle. A pointed canine that feels more prominent than you would like. These small imperfections may seem minor to anyone else, but to the person who sees them every time they look in the mirror, they can define their entire relationship with their smile.
Teeth contouring (also called tooth reshaping or enameloplasty) is one of the most elegant solutions in cosmetic dentistry because it solves these problems in a single visit, with no anesthesia, no drilling, no recovery time, and at a fraction of the cost of more extensive cosmetic treatments. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Marianne Cohan uses her AACD-accredited artistic eye and more than 31 years of clinical precision to remove tiny amounts of enamel in exactly the right places, transforming the symmetry, proportion, and harmony of your smile in 30 minutes or less. It is cosmetic dentistry at its most conservative, most accessible, and most immediately gratifying. Below are the 20 questions patients ask most.
Q1. What is teeth contouring? |
Teeth contouring, also known as tooth reshaping or enameloplasty, is a cosmetic dental procedure in which Dr. Cohan gently removes small amounts of tooth enamel to change the shape, length, or surface texture of one or more teeth. The goal is to improve the symmetry, proportion, and overall harmony of your smile by correcting minor imperfections that affect how your teeth look when you speak, smile, and laugh. Unlike more extensive cosmetic treatments such as porcelain veneers or dental crowns, teeth contouring works with your existing natural tooth structure and does not add any material to the teeth. It is subtractive rather than additive, which makes it the most conservative cosmetic option available and the only one that requires absolutely no recovery time. |
Q2. What cosmetic problems can teeth contouring fix? |
Teeth contouring is ideal for correcting small but noticeable imperfections including teeth that are slightly too long relative to their neighbors, small chips or rough spots on the biting edges of front teeth, minor overlapping where one tooth edge crosses in front of another, pointed or overly prominent canines that give the smile an uneven appearance, teeth with irregular or uneven biting edges that create a jagged smile line, minor bulges or pits in the enamel surface, and teeth that are slightly rotated or angled in a way that creates a shadow or asymmetry. The key word is ‘minor.’ Teeth contouring addresses imperfections that are measured in fractions of a millimeter. For more significant changes in tooth size, shape, color, or alignment, Dr. Cohan may recommend porcelain veneers, dental bonding, ClearCorrect aligners, or a comprehensive smile makeover that combines multiple treatments for a more dramatic result. |
Q3. Is teeth contouring painful? |
No. Teeth contouring is one of the few cosmetic dental procedures that is genuinely painless. The procedure involves removing only the outermost layer of enamel, which contains no nerve endings. Most patients feel nothing more than a gentle vibration and a slight smoothing sensation during the reshaping process. No anesthesia is required, no numbing is needed, and there is zero discomfort during or after the procedure. You walk into the office, Dr. Cohan reshapes the teeth, you look in the mirror, and you walk out with a new smile, all without experiencing any pain at any point. For patients who have dental anxiety about any dental visit, even a painless one, Summerlin Dental Solutions offers sedation dentistry options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and our spa-like comfort amenities including warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones, and personal entertainment screens. But for teeth contouring specifically, the vast majority of patients need nothing beyond the reassuring presence of the friendliest team they have ever encountered at a dental office. |
Q4. How much does teeth contouring cost in Las Vegas? |
Teeth contouring is one of the most affordable cosmetic dental procedures available. In the Las Vegas area, the cost typically ranges from $50 to $300 per tooth, depending on the amount of reshaping needed and the number of teeth being treated. Many patients have two to four teeth contoured in a single visit, putting the total cost of a meaningful smile improvement between $100 and $1,200. Compare that to porcelain veneers at $1,500 to $2,500 per tooth, and it is easy to see why teeth contouring is often called the ‘best-kept secret in cosmetic dentistry.’ Dental insurance typically does not cover contouring because it is classified as cosmetic, but at Summerlin Dental Solutions, our team will verify your insurance benefits to confirm, and 0% interest financing through HFD is available for any out-of-pocket costs with approval in under a minute and no credit impact. |
Q5. How long does teeth contouring take? |
A teeth contouring appointment at Summerlin Dental Solutions typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, making it one of the fastest cosmetic procedures available. If you are having one or two teeth reshaped, the procedure may take as little as 10 to 15 minutes. For patients having four to six teeth contoured as part of a coordinated smile refinement, the appointment may take up to 45 minutes. There is no preparation time needed (no anesthesia to administer, no impressions to take) and no follow-up appointment required. The results are immediate and permanent. Many patients schedule their contouring during a lunch break and return to work with a noticeably improved smile. For patients traveling from Henderson, Centennial Hills, or other communities farther from Summerlin, the single-visit convenience is especially valuable. |
Q6. Is teeth contouring permanent? |
Yes. Because teeth contouring involves the physical removal of enamel, the results are permanent. Enamel does not regenerate, so the new shape of your teeth is the shape they will maintain for life. This permanence is one of the procedure’s greatest advantages: there is no maintenance, no touch-up appointments, no replacement schedule, and no ongoing cost. However, the permanence of the procedure also means it should only be performed by a dentist with the artistic training and clinical precision to get the result right the first time. Dr. Cohan’s AACD Accreditation (held by fewer than 1% of dentists) confirms that her cosmetic judgment has been peer-reviewed by the top cosmetic dentists in the profession. Her Operative Dentistry Award from SUNY Buffalo recognized her clinical precision in exactly this type of detail-oriented restorative and cosmetic work. For a procedure where every fraction of a millimeter matters, these credentials provide the assurance that the permanent result will be exactly what you want. |
Q7. Can teeth contouring be combined with other cosmetic treatments? |
Absolutely, and this is one of the most powerful ways to use contouring. Teeth contouring is frequently combined with dental bonding (where tooth-colored composite resin is added to teeth to fill gaps, repair chips, or build up small areas) to produce a more comprehensive result. Contouring removes where teeth have excess, bonding adds where they are deficient, and together they create a balanced, harmonious smile. Contouring is also commonly included as a finishing step in smile makeovers, where it refines the edges and contours of teeth adjacent to veneers or crowns so the entire smile looks unified. It can be combined with professional teeth whitening for patients who want both a brighter and a more shapely smile. And it is a key component of anti-aging dentistry, where reshaping worn, chipped edges restores the youthful tooth proportions that aging gradually diminishes. |
Q8. Is teeth contouring safe? Will it damage my teeth? |
Yes, teeth contouring is safe when performed by an experienced dentist who understands exactly how much enamel can be safely removed without compromising the tooth’s structural integrity or sensitivity. The outermost enamel layer that is removed during contouring is the same enamel that wears naturally over a lifetime of eating and brushing. The amount removed is measured in fractions of a millimeter and is carefully controlled using precision instruments and magnification. Dr. Cohan evaluates the enamel thickness of each tooth before recommending contouring to ensure there is adequate enamel to reshape without approaching the dentin layer underneath. If a tooth does not have sufficient enamel for safe contouring, she will recommend an alternative approach such as bonding or a veneer instead. The safety of the procedure depends entirely on the judgment and skill of the dentist performing it, which is why Dr. Cohan’s 31 years of experience and AACD-accredited precision matter so significantly for this procedure. |
Q9. What is the difference between teeth contouring and veneers? |
Teeth contouring and porcelain veneers both improve the appearance of your smile, but they work in opposite ways and are suited to different situations. Contouring is a subtractive process: it removes small amounts of enamel to reshape existing teeth. It is ideal for minor imperfections, costs $50 to $300 per tooth, requires no anesthesia, and is completed in a single short visit. Veneers are an additive process: thin porcelain shells are bonded over the front surfaces of teeth to completely change their color, shape, size, and proportion. Veneers are ideal for more significant cosmetic changes, cost $1,500 to $2,500 per tooth, require multiple appointments, and last 15 to 20 years. Some patients benefit from both: contouring on teeth with minor issues and veneers on teeth that need more comprehensive transformation. Dr. Cohan evaluates each tooth individually and recommends the most conservative, effective approach for your specific goals and budget. |
Q10. Who is a good candidate for teeth contouring? |
Good candidates for teeth contouring have minor cosmetic concerns that can be addressed by reshaping rather than adding material, have adequate enamel thickness on the teeth being treated (Dr. Cohan evaluates this during the consultation), have overall healthy teeth with no active decay or structural damage in the areas to be contoured, and have realistic expectations about what contouring can and cannot achieve. Contouring is not appropriate for patients with thin enamel, significant tooth decay, large chips that have exposed the dentin layer, or cosmetic goals that require changes in tooth color, size, or alignment beyond what subtle reshaping can accomplish. During your consultation at Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Cohan uses digital X-rays with AI-assisted analysis to assess your enamel thickness and overall tooth health, then discusses whether contouring, bonding, veneers, or a combination will best achieve your goals. |
Q11. Can teeth contouring fix a chipped tooth? |
It depends on the size of the chip. Small chips on the biting edge of a tooth can often be smoothed and reshaped through contouring alone, blending the chipped area into the natural contour of the tooth so that it is no longer visible or noticeable. This is one of the most common reasons patients request contouring at Summerlin Dental Solutions. For larger chips that have removed significant tooth structure, contouring alone may not be sufficient. In these cases, Dr. Cohan may recommend dental bonding (adding tooth-colored composite to rebuild the missing area) or a porcelain veneer for chips that affect a significant portion of the visible tooth surface. For chips resulting from trauma that may have also damaged the nerve, a dental crown may be the most appropriate restoration. Dr. Cohan evaluates every chip individually to determine the most conservative and effective repair approach. |
Q12. Does teeth contouring help with anti-aging? |
Yes, and this is one of the most underappreciated applications of teeth contouring. As we age, the biting edges of our front teeth gradually wear down, chip, and develop micro-irregularities that make the smile line look rough, uneven, and aged. The teeth appear shorter and flatter, which reduces the youthful proportion between tooth length and lip position. Teeth contouring can restore a smooth, even smile line by reshaping the irregularities that accumulated over decades. When combined with professional teeth whitening and lip-framing anti-aging treatments such as Botox for perioral lines and dermal fillers for lip volume, contouring contributes to a lower-face rejuvenation that patients describe as looking years younger. Dr. Cohan’s membership in the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) means she can coordinate dental contouring with facial esthetic treatments in a single unified plan for the most natural, comprehensive anti-aging result. |
Q13. What technology does Summerlin Dental Solutions use for teeth contouring? |
While teeth contouring is a relatively simple procedure, the technology at Summerlin Dental Solutions ensures it is performed with the highest level of precision and diagnostic safety. Our AI-assisted radiological analysis reviews your X-rays to verify that the teeth being contoured have adequate enamel thickness and no hidden decay or structural issues. Digital X-rays deliver instant imaging at up to 90% less radiation than conventional film. The 3D CBCT scanner is available if Dr. Cohan needs a more detailed view of enamel thickness or root proximity in complex cases. Computerized smile design software allows Dr. Cohan to digitally simulate the projected contouring result before performing the procedure, so you can approve the planned changes in advance. The TRIOS digital scanner can capture precise 3D models for comparison if contouring is part of a larger smile makeover plan. And dual-screen exam rooms display your before images so Dr. Cohan can reference them during the reshaping process to ensure perfect symmetry and proportion. |
Q14. What are Dr. Cohan’s qualifications for teeth contouring? |
Teeth contouring may be a simple procedure, but the artistry it requires is anything but simple. Removing a fraction of a millimeter too much or in the wrong place can create an irregularity that was not there before. Dr. Cohan’s qualifications are uniquely suited to the precision this procedure demands. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo with dual honors, including the Operative Dentistry Award, which specifically recognizes clinical excellence in the detailed, hands-on restorative and cosmetic procedures that contouring exemplifies. Her AACD Accreditation, held by fewer than 1% of dentists, confirms that her aesthetic judgment has been peer-reviewed by the top cosmetic dentists in the profession. She has been named Best Dentist in America through peer nomination and voted Best of Las Vegas 19 times across four categories including Best Cosmetic Dentist. With more than 31 years of clinical experience, she has performed thousands of contouring procedures and developed an instinct for proportion and symmetry that allows her to reshape teeth with extraordinary precision. She also maintains memberships in the AAFE, AAID, ADA, Academy of Laser Dentistry, and Academy of General Dentistry. For a procedure where fractions of a millimeter determine the result, you genuinely could not be in better hands. |
Q15. Can teeth contouring improve my bite? |
In some cases, yes. Minor bite irregularities caused by a single tooth that contacts slightly before the others, a small high spot on a tooth that creates premature contact, or an edge that catches or scrapes against an opposing tooth during chewing can sometimes be corrected or improved through contouring. This is called an occlusal adjustment, and it involves carefully reshaping the biting surface of the offending tooth to distribute forces more evenly across the dental arch. Dr. Cohan evaluates your bite as part of every preventive care visit and can identify areas where minor contouring might improve both comfort and function. For patients who grind or clench their teeth, bite adjustment through contouring can sometimes reduce the forces that drive the grinding habit. For more significant bite issues, Dr. Cohan may recommend ClearCorrect aligners or other orthodontic treatment to achieve comprehensive bite correction. |
Q16. Is there any recovery time after teeth contouring? |
None. There is absolutely no recovery time, no downtime, and no post-procedure restrictions after teeth contouring. Because the procedure only involves the outermost enamel layer (which has no nerve endings and no blood supply), there is no bleeding, no swelling, no sensitivity, and no discomfort after the appointment. You can eat, drink, smile, brush, and resume your normal activities immediately. This is one of the key advantages of contouring over other cosmetic procedures: you walk in during your lunch break and walk out 30 minutes later with a visibly improved smile and zero limitations on the rest of your day. For patients who combine contouring with dental bonding, the bonding material is also fully cured and functional by the time you leave the appointment. |
Q17. Where is the closest teeth contouring dentist near The Summit, The Ridges, and Queensridge? |
Summerlin Dental Solutions is located at 851 S Rampart Blvd, Suite 230, Las Vegas, NV 89145, centrally positioned in the heart of Summerlin between Tivoli Village and Boca Park. Queensridge residents are just 5 to 10 minutes from our office. The Summit residents reach us in approximately 10 to 12 minutes via Town Center Drive and Rampart Boulevard. The Ridges residents connect via Rampart or the 215 Beltway in a similarly short drive. Because teeth contouring typically takes only 15 to 30 minutes and requires no anesthesia or recovery time, the total time commitment including the drive from any of these communities is remarkably small for the cosmetic improvement it delivers. Having an AACD-accredited cosmetic dentist within minutes of your neighborhood who can refine your smile in a single lunchtime visit is a convenience that patients in these communities especially appreciate. Call (702) 341-9160 to schedule your consultation. |
Q18. Can patients from Henderson get teeth contouring at Summerlin Dental Solutions? |
Yes. Henderson, Green Valley, and Anthem patients reach our Summerlin office in approximately 25 to 30 minutes via the 215 Beltway. Because teeth contouring is completed in a single visit with no follow-up needed, Henderson patients make one trip and leave with permanent results. Many Henderson patients discover teeth contouring during a preventive care visit when Dr. Cohan points out that a small reshaping could dramatically improve their smile. The procedure can often be completed the same day, meaning Henderson patients can arrive for a check-up and leave with both a clean bill of dental health and a more beautiful smile, all in a single appointment. |
Q19. Is there a cosmetic dentist near Centennial Hills and Spring Valley who does teeth contouring? |
Yes. Summerlin Dental Solutions serves teeth contouring patients from throughout the Las Vegas Valley including Centennial Hills, North Las Vegas, Spring Valley, and all surrounding areas. Centennial Hills residents travel south on the 215 or US-95 in approximately 20 to 25 minutes, while Spring Valley patients are just 10 to 15 minutes south along the 215 Beltway. For a procedure that takes 15 to 30 minutes and costs a fraction of other cosmetic treatments, patients from both communities tell us the short drive to an AACD-accredited cosmetic dentist is the easiest decision they have made. Many patients from these communities initially came for contouring alone and went on to explore additional cosmetic options once they experienced the quality of Dr. Cohan’s work and the warmth of the team firsthand. |
Q20. How do I schedule a teeth contouring consultation at Summerlin Dental Solutions? |
Call (702) 341-9160 and let our team know you are interested in teeth contouring or cosmetic tooth reshaping.

Spring Valley | Located just south of Summerlin along the 215 Beltway, Spring Valley patients reach our office in 10 to 15 minutes. As one of our largest patient communities, Spring Valley residents include many patients who originally came in for a single tooth reshaping and became long-term patients of the practice because the experience exceeded every expectation they had. |
Teeth contouring is a deceptively simple procedure that benefits significantly from advanced diagnostics and planning. Every piece of technology at Summerlin Dental Solutions contributes to ensuring the reshaping is performed safely, precisely, and with the confidence that the result will be exactly what you want.
AI-Assisted Radiology | Before any enamel is removed, the AI system reviews your X-rays alongside Dr. Cohan to verify that each tooth being contoured has sufficient enamel thickness and no hidden decay, fractures, or structural concerns. This diagnostic check ensures the contouring is performed on a healthy, sound tooth and that the amount of enamel to be removed is well within safe limits. |
Computerized Smile Design | For patients having multiple teeth contoured or combining contouring with other cosmetic treatments, smile design software allows Dr. Cohan to digitally simulate the planned reshaping before any physical work begins. You can see the projected result on screen and approve the changes, eliminating guesswork and ensuring the outcome matches your vision. |
Digital X-Rays | Delivering instant imaging at up to 90% less radiation than conventional film, digital X-rays provide the baseline assessment of enamel thickness and tooth health that every safe contouring procedure requires. The instant results mean Dr. Cohan can evaluate and proceed in the same visit without waiting for film processing. |
3D CBCT Scanner | For complex cases where enamel thickness near the tooth edge needs detailed three-dimensional evaluation, or where contouring is combined with other procedures that require comprehensive imaging, the CBCT scanner provides a level of diagnostic detail that ensures complete safety and precision. |
TRIOS Digital Scanner | When contouring is part of a larger cosmetic plan involving veneers, crowns, or aligners, the TRIOS scanner captures precise before-and-after 3D models that allow Dr. Cohan to measure the exact amount of enamel removed and integrate the contoured tooth shape into the digital design of adjacent restorations. |
Dual-Screen Exam Rooms | Every treatment room features dual monitors that display your diagnostic images, smile design simulations, and reference photographs during the contouring procedure. Dr. Cohan uses these screens to compare the evolving contour against the planned design in real time, ensuring perfect symmetry and proportion as she works. |
Soft Tissue Laser | For patients who combine teeth contouring with gum recontouring to reshape both the teeth and the gum frame simultaneously, our soft tissue laser performs minimally invasive gum reshaping with less bleeding, no sutures, and faster healing. The combination of tooth contouring and laser gum contouring in a single visit can produce a remarkably comprehensive smile refinement. |
Dr. Marianne Cohan approaches teeth contouring with the same precision and artistic intention she brings to her most complex cosmetic cases. Her DDS from the State University of New York at Buffalo came with dual honors: the Operative Dentistry Award, recognizing exactly the kind of detail-oriented clinical precision that contouring demands, and the Periodontics Award, recognizing expertise in the gum tissue that frames every tooth she reshapes. Her AACD Accreditation (fewer than 1% of dentists) confirms that her aesthetic judgment meets the highest peer-reviewed standards in cosmetic dentistry. Her AAFE membership provides facial esthetic training relevant to patients combining dental contouring with anti-aging treatments. With more than 31 years of experience, Best Dentist in America peer recognition, and 19 Best of Las Vegas wins across four categories including Best Cosmetic Dentist, she brings a level of expertise to a 15-minute procedure that most dentists reserve for their most complex cases. As the sole dentist at the practice, she is the artist behind every contour. You genuinely could not be in better hands.
