This time of year, you may have taken family pictures to send out Christmas cards to your friends and family. If you didn’t feel totally confident in your smile during these pictures, we have a simple treatment that can help target common concerns like discoloration and blemishes. Your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, offers cosmetic bonding, contouring, and other treatments that can help you achieve a smile that you are proud to show off.
Conceal Discoloration, Cracks, And Other Blemishes
Cosmetic bonding is a process that involves adding a lifelike material to your teeth to create a more balanced look. We use composite resin for this process because it blends in with your pearly whites and can easily be bonded to many surfaces. You can use this treatment to hide blemishes such as stains that don’t react to professional teeth whitening treatments, cracks or chips on the surface of your teeth, small gaps between your teeth, and more. Patients appreciate cosmetic bonding because it is minimally invasive, can be done in one treatment, and can last for several years. To take care of your upgraded smile after this treatment, follow your regular oral hygiene routine and visit your dentist regularly.
Reshape Uneven Or Jagged Tooth Surfaces
You can have cosmetic bonding done by itself or combine it with another treatment like tooth contouring. This is a minimally invasive method that involves removing a small amount of your dental structure to reshape it. Contouring can help address a variety of problems, including overlapping structures, jagged or sharp edges, and more. This process is more invasive than bonding and cannot be reversed, but the results can leave you with a more symmetrical smile. Contouring and bonding can be completed in a single appointment in many cases. If you are interested in this treatment, schedule a consultation with our team today to find out if this is an appropriate treatment for your needs.
Explore Other Cosmetic Treatment Options
We offer several cosmetic options because all patients have unique needs for the appearance and health of their smile. Along with bonding and contouring, we also offer professional teeth whitening services and porcelain veneers. Teeth whitening can be used for patients who have surface-level stains on their pearly whites. If your teeth have been discolored due to your daily coffee or other external factors, this service may help remove stains. For patients who have several concerns including stains, blemishes, or uneven teeth, porcelain veneers may be a more helpful solution.
