Cutting elements for earth-boring tools may include a polycrystalline, superabrasive material secured to an end of a substrate. The polycrystalline, superabrasive material may include a first transition surface and a second transition surface. A waveform may extend around a circumference of the second transition surface, a surface of the waveform tapered toward from the substrate and extending radially from the second transition surface toward the central axis. The surface of the waveform may extend from the second transition surface to a planar surface of the polycrystalline located at a same distance from the substrate as troughs of the waveform surface, the planar surface oriented perpendicular, and located proximate, to the central axis.
