If you have issues with the appearance of your smile, including stained or even misshapen teeth, then we could help. Not only that, but with bonding and contouring, we could help in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about same-day cosmetic bonding and contouring.
Starting with a Cosmetic Consultation
Do you have concerns with the beauty of your smile? When you have a single issue you want to see addressed, or several, then you should consider seeing us for a cosmetic consultation. Our team will take a close look at your smile with digital imaging technology to assess the appearance of your smile and the source of your esthetic complications. We will also talk to you about your hopes for your smile. Our team then creates a treatment plan to improve these imperfections, and this could include the use of bonding and contouring, which can improve smiles in only one visit.
Dental Bonding
The dental bonding procedure provides same-day cosmetic improvement. The procedure uses the same composite resin we employ as part of our tooth-colored fillings, a metal-free composite resin that we can shade to blend with the rest of your smile. The procedure involves numbing the tooth being treated, and then cleaning it and etching the outer surface. We then apply the composite resin in several layers, and then sculpt and mold the tooth as the material cures under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth to ensure a brighter appearance.
With this procedure, we can repair minor chips and cracks, add lengthen to worn-down tooth structures, and mask permanent teeth stains. The procedure can also fill in gaps between the teeth and address misshapen structures too.
Cosmetic Contouring
Did you know that we could also contour your teeth? With this procedure, our team can gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct common esthetic issues, improving your smile in only one sitting without adding new structures to it. With contouring, we can correct the appearance of minor chops and misshapen teeth, and address overly large teeth too. We can smooth away those grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer structures too. The procedure can even dull sharp, pointed, or jagged teeth, all in one visit.
If you have any questions about how we help your smile look its best in one visit with bonding or contouring, then reach out to our team today to learn more and get started. We want to help you feel confident in your smile in 2026.
