Dental contouring is one of the many cosmetic dental techniques that can help give you a beautiful smile. Contouring is regularly combined with cosmetic bonding and other procedures to give dental tourist the smile they are looking for. Dental contouring and reshaping can be completed in a single visit to the dentist.

What is Dental Contouring?

Dental contouring and reshaping is a procedure where the dentist then sculpts your tooth to a desired shape.

You might need a dental contouring if:

You have chipped or cracked teeth and you want to improve their appearance
Your teeth are irregularly shaped
If you teeth are slightly overlapping
You bite is slightly out of alignment

Things to be aware of:

This is a permanent procedure; whatever is removed cannot be restored naturally
You teeth can become weaker if large amount of the tooth surface are removed

What is the procedure like?

Your dentist will take x-rays of the teeth that you want to reshape. This tells them the position of the inner parts of the tooth and helps determine how much of the tooth surface can be safely removed. The teeth are then marked up with a pen. The surface area to be removed is slowly stripped away using a drill or laser. The teeth are then shaped further using a rough paper and finally smoothed and polished. All of this can normally be done without the need for an anaesthetic.

What affects the price?

The dentist chosen
The number of teeth that you want contoured
The extent of the contouring

Italy is a treasure house of wonders. From the snowy peaks of the alps, through the galleries and churches of beautiful cities, to the beaches of a seemingly endless coastline, Italy has inspired travellers for hundreds of years.

Benefits of Italian Dentistry

Italy has a well regulated dental profession and for the traveller a huge variety of location. Outside of the big cities prices can be very competitive thanks to reduced costs. Implants for example can cost around 900 Euro, far less than in the U.K or Ireland.

Qualifications

Italian dentists receive a 5 year training from one of Italy's 30 dental schools. There are two recognized specialties, Orthodontics and Oral Surgery.

Continuing education is mandatory for dentists opperating within the public sector. Courses are accredited by the Ministry of Health and a dentist must acquire 150 credits in each 4 year period to stay in the public employment. Continuing education is promoted by all dental organizations in Italy and formal procedures for evaluating continuous professional development, outside the public sector, are currently under investigation. Article 19 of the ethical code stresses the requirement for continuous updating of skills, both medical and organizational, to provide the best treatment possible.

Additional Information

Organizations

The Federazione Ordini Medici Chirurghi e Odontoiatri (FNOMCeO) holds the register of dentists in Italy. The body is divided into provincial orders (103 in all) which promote the profession and keep the register up to date.

The Associazione Nazionale Dentisti Italiani and the Associazione Italiana Odontoiatri are the two main organizations representing the dental profession in Italy.

Ethics

The Federazione Ordini Medici Chirurghi e Odontoiatri publishes a code of ethics for its members.

Complaints

FNOMCeO inforces the ethical code for dentists in Italy. Each provincial order organizes an ethical committee which judges complaints against registered dentists. Complaints can result in the temporary or permanent suspension of a dentist's right to practice - such a judgement is binding across all 103 provinces.

Complaints may also be persued through the civil courts and any complaint brought to a provincial ethical committee of a criminal nature will be handled by the courts.

Data Protection

The ethical code details the requirements of Italian dentists to preserve the privacy of their patients and the safe storage of that data (articles 10, 11 and 12).

Dentists are also bound by civil law on the protection of sensitive data which complies with E.U. data protection laws.
