Is contouring right for you?

Contouring removes a tiny amount of enamel to gently reshape teeth. It is a quick, painless fix for minor concerns like these.

Uneven tooth length

Small differences in length can be evened out for a balanced smile.

Tiny chips

Minor chips and rough edges on front teeth can be smoothed away in just a few minutes.

Pointed or bulky teeth

Pointed canines or slight bulges can be gently softened and reshaped for a more even smile.

Slight overlaps

Small overlapping edges can be refined and smoothed so your teeth look straighter and more even.

Urgent Health Warning

If you have severe swelling extending to your eye, jaw, or neck, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, please visit the nearest emergency room or dial 911 immediately.

Had a great experience with all team members here! Extremely content and kind staff. I have had bad experiences at other offices, but they always take such great care of me here! April and Dr. Zoro were great today! As well as Jessica and Bianca:) If you live in the area or even maybe a little further out- they are worth it!

Best dentist office I have ever visited! Everyone there was extremely knowledgeable and walked me thoroughly through everything they noticed on x-rays, cleanings, etc. Nothing felt rushed and they made sure I was comfortable and had all my questions answered. Special thanks to Dr. Zoro, April, and the amazing front desk for such a wonderful experience!

Smiles for Health is great across the board. It took me awhile to get back to a dentist and Im happy that Smiles for Health took that into consideration. The staff is very detailed from start to finish. Through out my process, they explained everything that was to happen, suggested great direction on next steps and everyone was very personable. The location has all the greatest tech to gain all the information i needed. Im looking forward to continue my next steps into my dental work until I get the smile Im looking for. Highly recommend Smiles for Health.
