Execution

The planned grinding is started by means of dental drills, this step must be carried out with the help of a high precision rotary instrument.

When do I need cosmetic dental contouring in Tijuana? 

This treatment should be applied in patients who have slight deformities in their teeth. It is recommended for people with too long or uneven front incisors, very pointed paths or any irregularity caused by trauma.
