Did you know that we can provide cosmetic dentistry in only one visit? With treatments like bonding and contouring, we can reshape teeth and mask multiple esthetic issues. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about treating smiles in one visit with cosmetic bonding and contouring.
Your Initial Cosmetic Consultation
How do we get started? If you have cosmetic concerns, then consider an appointment with our team. We will talk to you about your hopes for your smile, and then conduct an examination with detailed digital imaging systems, so we can diagnose the presence and severity of your esthetic concerns. Our team can then create a plan to address them. For many of our patients, we can offer improvement in only one visit with bonding, contouring, or in some cases, both in the same sitting!
Dental Bonding
The dental bonding procedure improves smiles in one visit. Our team will numb the tooth to ensure you are comfortable as we remove decay from the tooth and clean the tooth, and while we etch the outer surfaces. We then prepare and place the composite resin onto the tooth in several layers. The material is metal-free and safe for all ages, and it bonds with the tooth. We also shade it to match the color of nearby teeth and surrounding tooth structure.
With this option, we have a way to cover up major teeth stains, address gaps between teeth, and lengthen teeth worn down by issues like teeth grinding and clenching. Bonding can also repair minor chips and cracks, and address misshapen teeth too.
Contouring for Your Teeth
Our team could also contour your teeth! With this option, we don’t add new structures to the teeth with materials like composite resin. Instead, we will gently sand and buff the outer structure to reshape the tooth and correct esthetic imperfections in one sitting. For example, we can smooth away the grooves, pits, and even rough patches in the outer structures, and even dull sharp, jagged, or pointed parts of your teeth. The procedure can also address the appearance of chipped or overly large/misshapen teeth too. We could even combine this with bonding in the same sitting.
