Do You Have Issues With Your Appearance?
Do you have concerns with the shape and color of a tooth, or even with unsightly gaps between the teeth? Then you should consider cosmetic dentistry. Our team offers treatments to help improve the beauty of your smile, which in some cases could also improve bite function and oral health. To get started, we will talk to you about your hopes for your smile, and we will conduct a detailed examination of your bite to see which treatments are right for you. Once we assess the cause and severity of your esthetic issues, we can start treatment.
Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding actually uses the same composite resin as our tooth-colored dental fillings. This is a metal-free composite resin that is safe for all ages, and which can be color-matched to blend with your tooth and the rest of your smile too. We will numb the tooth being treated, and will clean it and etch the outer surface too. We then apply the shaded composite resin in several layers, and sculpt the tooth as the material is cured under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter and more lifelike appearance.
With bonding, we can fill in embarrassing gaps between the teeth and mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that could resist professional teeth whitening. We also address misshapen teeth, repair minor chips and cracks, and add length to worn down teeth too, all in only one sitting.
Dental Contouring
In the same visit, we could also address multiple cosmetic issues with a procedure known as contouring. With this option, we take a different approach to treatment. We don’t add new materials to the tooth, we instead gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct the appearance of your smile. We can smooth away any pits, grooves, and rough patches in the tooth, and dull sharp, jagged, and pointed parts of your smile. Our team can address overly large teeth or the appearance of a minor chip, all in only one sitting.
If you have any questions about our same-day cosmetic treatments, or if you want to see if bonding and contouring can help your smile shine, then contact our team today to get started.
