Bonding Repairs Imperfections In One Visit

With dental bonding and contouring, we have the ability to take on cosmetic imperfections in only one visit. From teeth stains to gaps between teeth, we can offer improvement with a simple treatment in one sitting. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about dental bonding and contouring and how these cosmetic procedures can transform your smile.

The Issues Dental Bonding Addresses

With dental bonding, in one visit we can mask permanent teeth stains, the type that could resist traditional teeth whitening procedures. Our team can also repair minor chips and cracks, lengthen worn down teeth, and correct the appearance of misshapen teeth. The procedure can also fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between your teeth. For many, this essentially offers a conservative makeover for your smile, as we can repair multiple teeth at once if needed.

The Placement Process

The dental bonding procedure only takes one visit to complete. To begin, we will take time to numb your tooth and ensure you stay comfortable throughout the procedure. Next, our team will remove any decay and thoroughly clean the tooth. We may etch the outer surfaces as well. Our team then prepares the composite resin material, placing it in multiple layers. We then sculpt and mold the tooth as the material is cured under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance!

How We Contour Your Teeth

We have another cosmetic procedure that can provide a major improvement for your appearance in only one visit. With dental contouring we take a different approach. We don’t need to add new materials to the tooth. Instead, we will gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct common cosmetic imperfections. Our team can do this to correct the appearance of overly large or misshapen teeth. The procedure can smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer structure. We can also dull sharp, jagged, or pointed portions of your teeth.

If you have any questions about how our team will make cosmetic improvements in only one visit with dental bonding and contouring, or if you would like to schedule a consultation to see if you benefit from these cosmetic treatments, then contact our office today to learn more and get started. Let’s make your smile shine this summer!
