If you have multiple cosmetic concerns with the appearance of your smile, then we can help. In fact, with cosmetic treatments like dental bonding and contouring, we could offer improvement in only one visit. In today’s blog, Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about helping smiles with bonding and contouring, tackling multiple cosmetic issues at once and reshaping your whole smile!
The Dental Bonding Procedure
With dental bonding, we can reshape teeth in one sitting. Our team uses the same composite resin that we employ for our fillings. This metal-free blend of acrylic and glass-like particles is safe for all ages, and bonds with the tooth. The material can also be shaded to blend with your smile seamlessly. Our team can apply it in one visit. We will numb the tooth with a local anesthetic and then clean the tooth. We may etch the outer surfaces before we apply the composite resin in several layers. Next, we will sculpt and mold the tooth as the material cures under a light. The last stop is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.
In one sitting, our team can correct misshapen structures, lengthen worn-down teeth, and even filling embarrassing gaps between them. We can mask permanent teeth stains that could resist traditional teeth whitening methods, and also repair minor chips and cracks!
Contouring Your Smile
We can also offer same-day cosmetic improvement with dental contouring, which takes a very different approach. With this option, we gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct common esthetic issues. We can smooth away portions that are grooved, pitted, or contain rough patches. Our team can correct pointed, sharp, or jagged portions of structure. The procedure can also address the appearance of overly large or chipped teeth, all in a single sitting.
Combination with Teeth Whitening
We could also combine these procedures with professional teeth whitening. We have prefilled and custom trays you can take home to whiten your teeth, or we could conduct an in-office procedure in one sitting. We then conduct bonding and contouring, able to ensure your new results blend with your brightest smile. If you have any questions about how we transform the appearance of your smile with cosmetic dentistry, or if you are ready to see what bonding and contouring can do for your smile, then reach out to our team today to learn more and get started.
