Cosmetic dentistry enables our team to improve the appearance of your smile and mask cosmetic imperfections with same-day treatments. You could leave after one sitting with a more attractive smile! In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about helping smiles in one visit with bonding and contouring!
Making Your Cosmetic Appointment
Our team wants to help your smile look its best, so when you have issues with injury, discoloration, or even misshapen teeth or unsightly gaps, then reach out to our team. With an initial consultation, we can carefully examine your smile with advanced aging technology to assess the cause and severity of your esthetic complaints. We can also talk to you about your hopes for your smile. Our team can then recommend treatment. For example, if you have stained teeth, we can offer professional teeth whitening to brighten your smile by several shades, with more dramatic results than most store-bought options can provide. But we can offer same-day improvement for multiple issues at once with dental bonding and contouring!
Dental Bonding
Let’s talk about boosting smile beauty with dental bonding. The process only takes one visit to complete. We use the same composite resin employed as part of our dental fillings. This metal-free material can be shaded to blend with your tooth and bond with the structure too, offering long-lasting improvement. We will numb your tooth and clean it. We etch the surface and then apply the shaded material to the tooth in several layers. Afterward, we will sculpt and mold the tooth as we cure the composite resin beneath a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.
The bonding procedure can mask teeth stains too severe to be treated with teeth whitening alone. We can also fill in embarrassing gaps between your teeth and correct minor injuries, such as chipped teeth. The process can lengthen worn down teeth caused by bruxism (teeth grinding), and also address misshapen structures too, all in one sitting.
Cosmetic Contouring
Our team can also contour the teeth to correct several esthetic issues at once, all in a single visit. With the contouring procedure we take a different approach, gently sanding and buffing the outer structure to correct esthetic issues. We can smooth away pits and grooves in the outer surfaces, and even dull sharp or pointed teeth. The process can correct the appearance of minor chips and reshape overly large or malformed teeth. We can help you smile with confidence again!
