A flaw that affects your smile does not have to be significant to be a serious problem. One misshapen, damaged, or discolored tooth that mars your appearance can cause you plenty of concern. Fortunately, this is something that your Ankeny, IA dentist can carefully resolve through conservative cosmetic treatment. To resolve these isolated issues, we can recommend tooth bonding and contouring services. This approach carefully reshapes, resizes, and even changes the color of teeth without restorations. The ability to move forward without making and placing restorations helps us minimize changes to your tooth structure and shorten your overall treatment time!
1. Problems With A Damaged Or Misshapen Tooth
An injury may not be serious enough to require restorative dental work, but it can still be visible enough to draw unwanted attention, which can hurt your confidence in your smile. Through tooth bonding and contouring treatment, we can change whatever issue or issues affects your tooth after trauma. That can mean carefully restoring a chipped or cracked portion of your enamel, making a tooth look larger, or even covering discoloration that may have occurred. We can also reshape a tooth by performing a contouring treatment to fix a problem with its shape.
2. Embarrassing Dental Discoloration
Dental discoloration is commonly associated with teeth stains, but there are internal tooth changes that can hurt the way you look. To hide these flaws, we can recommend tooth bonding treatment to cover the enamel with a composite substance that makes it look brighter. This can help you hide discoloration from an injury, or address other problems that may have occurred.
3. Issues With Spacing Between Two Teeth
An undersized or out of place tooth can create an unflattering space in your smile that you want to cover. This is something that we can potentially address without the need for orthodontic treatment. Instead, we can use tooth bonding treatment to make a tooth appear larger in order to close the opening. We can also provide this coverage with a porcelain veneer. In some cases where a tooth’s size creates bite problems, we can also talk to you about the use of a custom dental crown.
