Did you know that we can offer cosmetic improvement for your smile in only one visit? With dental bonding and contouring, we can reshape teeth and mask several common cosmetic issues at once! In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about offering a cosmetic boost in one sitting with dental bonding and cosmetic contouring, helping you enjoy a smile makeover and greater confidence in your appearance!
The Dental Bonding Procedure
With dental bonding, we actually employ the same metal-free and lifelike composite resin material that is part of our tooth fillings. The material can be color-matched to blend with your smile, and is safe from all ages. The procedure involves first numbing your tooth so you stay comfortable as we clean the tooth and etch the outer surface. We then apply the shaded material in several layers, sculpting and molding the tooth to ensure a proper balance and natural appearance as the material cures under a light. The entire process only takes one sitting to complete!
The Cosmetic Capabilities of Composite Resin
With the application of the composite resin, we can shade teeth stains too severe to be removed with teeth whitening alone. We can also reshape malformed teeth and repair minor cracks and chips too. Bonding can also fill gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth as well, and lengthen worn down tooth structures too. For some, this could even be a minor smile makeover!
Contouring Your Smile
In the same visit, we may offer another one-visit treatment. Dental contouring involves addressing esthetic concerns by sanding and buffing the outer structure of the tooth to reshape it and improve the appearance. For example, we can help smooth away grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer surfaces of your teeth. The contouring procedure can help correct sharp, jagged, or even pointed portions of the smile. The process helps correct the shape of overly large or chipped teeth too.
With both options, we could start with professional teeth whitening so your treatments match your brightest smile. The procedures can also be combined with options like crowns, fillings, or dental prosthetics for a full smile makeover, addressing multiple concerns at once and transforming your appearance.
