Teeth whitening is not the only cosmetic treatment we offer for our patients. With dental bonding and contouring, we can make major cosmetic improvements in one sitting! In today’s blog, your team at Dental Impressions in Ankeny, IA, talks about a cosmetic makeover in only one visit with dental bonding and contouring.
Dental Bonding
How will we makeover your smile with dental bonding in only one visit? With this procedure, our team will gently clean your teeth and remove any decay that may be present. We then etch the outer surface and apply the composite resin material that we use in our bonding procedure to the teeth in several layers. This blend of metal-free glass-like and acrylic particles can be color-matched to blend with your tooth, and is biocompatible, so it bonds with the outer structure for long-lasting improvement. We then cure the material under a light and polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.
With dental bonding, we can cover up teeth stains too severe for a whitening procedure. We can repair minor chips and cracks, add length to worn down teeth, and even correct misshapen teeth too. We could potentially fill in open gaps between the teeth too.
Cosmetic Contouring
We also have another same-day cosmetic treatment to help your smile look its best in time for the holidays. With contouring, we do not need to add new structures to the tooth. Instead, we will gently sand and buff the outer portions of your smile to help reshape them and offer a more attractive appearance. With contouring, we can smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the teeth. We can also correct sharp, jagged, or pointed teeth. We could correct the appearance of chipped or overly large teeth too, all in one sitting.
Using Your Dental Benefits
You should consider seeing our team now to use your remaining 2026 dental insurance benefits and/or your health savings account funds before they expire. Our team can conduct a checkup and cleaning to assess the state of your smile, and find what needs to be addressed before the hectic holiday season is in full swing. Our office staff can help you navigate your benefits and understand what is available to use for your treatment costs. We want to make sure you and your loved ones have the chance to start 2027 with your best smile!
