With cosmetic dentistry, we can address more than just teeth stains. With procedures like bonding and contouring, our team can reshape teeth and address minor injuries in only one visit, with lifelike results too. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about how we help smiles shine in one visit with dental bonding and contouring.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
How does the dental bonding procedure work? The procedure uses the same composite resin that we employ as part of our lifelike dental fillings. The metal-free material is safe for all ages and can be color matched to blend with the tooth. The procedure involves our team numbing the tooth and then gently cleaning it and etching the outer surface. We apply the prepared and shaded material in several layers, and then sculpt the tooth as the composite resin cures under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. The entire process, start-to-finish, only takes one visit!
The Benefits The Procedure Offers
The procedure allows our team to mask the permanent teeth stains that could otherwise resist traditional teeth whitening. In addition, we could repair minor chips and cracks, lengthen worn down teeth, and close gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. Bonding can reshape malformed teeth and improve bite balance, and we can even straighten the appearance of minor midsegment, so you have a straighter-looking smile without the need for braces or aligners! For some, this could essentially makeover a smile in one sitting.
Contouring Your Teeth
In the same visit, we could also offer another cosmetic treatment. Dental contouring also takes a single sitting to complete, and address cosmetic imperfections. Our team gently sand and buff outer structure to reshape malformed, overly large, or chipped teeth, so they look better. We can use the procedure to also dull sharp, jagged, or pointed teeth. Our team can smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the surfaces of your smile. If you have any questions about how our team will offer smile improvement with dental contouring and bonding, or if you would like to schedule a visit soon, then contact our office. We want to help you smile with confidence, addressing your cosmetic imperfections in as little as one sitting! We can also discuss professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and more.
