When to See Our Team for Cosmetic Dentistry
When should you talk to our team about cosmetic dentistry? If you have issues that are more esthetic in nature, such as stained or misshapen teeth or even embarrassing gaps between them, then we could potentially correct these in one sitting with cosmetic dentistry. Our team will talk about your hopes for your smile, and then take a close look with advanced imaging technology, so we can choose the most appropriate solution, helping you enjoy a more attractive smile. Often, these treatments can also help boost oral health and bite function too.
Dental Bonding
The dental bonding procedure only takes one visit to complete. To get started, we will numb your tooth to ensure you are cozy as we clean the tooth and then apply the composite resin to it in several layers. We use the same material in our fillings, which means this is metal-free and will blend with your tooth. Once in place, we can shape the tooth as the composite resin cures under a special light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a more natural appearance.
With bonding, we can fill in embarrassing gaps between your teeth and even mask permanent teeth stains. We can lengthen teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding) and repair minor chips too. For some, this could transform the smile in a single visit!
One-Visit Dental Contouring
We could also contour your teeth, which also provides cosmetic treatment in only one visit. With dental contouring, we will gently sand and buff the outer structure instead of adding new material to the tooth. This allows us to address teeth that are sharp, pointed, or jagged. Our team could also smooth out pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer tooth structure. We also correct the appearance of overly large teeth or misshapen ones. In one visit, this can help dramatically improve aspects of your smile’s appearance.
If you have any questions about how we improve the appearance of your smile in only one visit with cosmetic dentistry, then reach out to our team to talk about help with bonding and contouring. We want you to feel confident when you smile, so talk to our team today!
