What if we could take on a chipped tooth or even mask unsightly teeth stains in only one sitting? With dental bonding and contouring, our team can offer same-day improvement for multiple esthetic concerns. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about same-day dental repair.
When to See Us For Cosmetic Repair
If you have issues with the appearance of your teeth or have sustained minor damage, then we want to offer improvement to help you feel more confident and also prevent complications like tooth decay and dental infection. Our team can take a close look at your teeth with digital imaging, so we can accurately assess the cause and severity of your esthetic issues, and identify any restorative concerns too. For some, we could provide relief and esthetic improvement in only one siting with dental bonding and contouring.
Dental Bonding
The dental bonding process improves teeth in one visit. The process uses the same composite resin we employ as part of our lifelike dental fillings. The material is metal-free and safe for all ages, and actually bonds with the tooth. We can color-match it too, ensuring a lifelike appearance that blends with your smile. Placement only requires one sitting, as we will numb the tooth and then clean it thoroughly and etch the outer surface. We then prepare and place the composite resin in several layers, sculpting and molding the tooth as the material cures under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a more attractive appearance.
With bonding, we can cover up serious teeth stains and even fill in any embarrassing gaps between your teeth. The procedure could reshape malformed teeth and correct minor damage, while also adding length to teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding). For some, this is essentially a chance to makeover your smile in a single appointment!
The Contouring Process
We also have another option for same-day smile improvement with dental contouring. The process involves gently and carefully sand and buffing the outer structure to improve the beauty of a tooth. Contouring can help smooth away any rough patches, pits, and grooves in the tooth. We can also dull portions that are jagged, sharp, or pointed. The procedure could help address misshapen or overly large teeth too, and even correct the appearance of a chipped tooth.
