Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and even small changes can make a big difference in how you look and feel. At Montana Dental Works, we combine advanced dental technology with an artistic eye to enhance your smile while protecting your oral health. Whether you want to preview your new smile before treatment or make subtle refinements to your teeth and gums, our team is here to help you feel confident every time you share your smile.

​

Digital Smile Design

Your smile makeover starts with a vision — yours. We believe you should be able to see that vision come to life before the first step of treatment. That’s why we use the Trios 3Shape Intraoral Scanner to take precise 3D images of your teeth, gums, and bite. These scans are then brought into our Exocad smile design software, where we can digitally plan your smile with incredible accuracy.

 

This technology allows us to:

• Create a lifelike, high-resolution preview of your results.

• Show side-by-side before and after simulations so you can see exactly how your smile will transform.

• Make real-time adjustments to tooth shape, size, and alignment based on your feedback.

• Ensure the final results are a perfect blend of aesthetics and function.

 

The result? You have total confidence in your treatment plan before we even begin.

Gum Contouring

Sometimes, it’s not just your teeth that shape your smile — your gums play a big role, too. If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought your gums drew attention away from your teeth, you may have what’s often called a “gummy smile” or an uneven gumline. Gum contouring is a simple, highly effective cosmetic dental procedure that can transform the balance and symmetry of your smile.

​

At Montana Dental Works, we use precise, minimally invasive techniques to carefully reshape your gumline. This may involve:

• Reducing excess gum tissue to reveal more of your natural tooth enamel.

• Evening out an asymmetrical gumline so your smile looks more harmonious.

• Enhancing the appearance of teeth before placing veneers, crowns, or bonding.

 

Thanks to our advanced technology, gum contouring is comfortable, quick, and requires minimal recovery time. Many patients are surprised by how much their smile changes with such a small adjustment — and how natural the results look.

Tooth Reshaping & Recontouring

Small details can make a big difference in your smile. If certain teeth look uneven, have tiny chips, or seem slightly too long or pointed, tooth reshaping and recontouring offers an immediate and painless way to perfect their appearance.

This technique involves gently sculpting the enamel to improve symmetry, refine tooth shape, and smooth any irregular edges. Because no major alterations are made to the tooth structure, it is considered one of the most conservative and non-invasive cosmetic dental treatments available.

​

Tooth reshaping is ideal for:

• Correcting minor chips or fractures.

• Smoothing rough or jagged edges.

• Adjusting slightly uneven tooth lengths.

• Balancing the shape of neighboring teeth for a more uniform look.

 

In many cases, reshaping can be done in just one visit, with results you can see immediately. For an even greater transformation, it’s often paired with teeth whitening, bonding, or other cosmetic treatments to create a polished, cohesive smile.

We believe cosmetic dentistry should feel natural and reflect your personality — not look “overdone.” Whether it’s adjusting a gumline or refining a tooth’s shape, our goal is to create a smile that’s balanced, healthy, and uniquely yours.
