With restorative dentistry, our team can repair teeth and prevent complications, such as decay or even dental infection. But did you know we can offer restorative treatment that takes only one visit to complete? In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about one-visit repair with tooth bonding.
The Benefits of Composite Resin
How do we help your smile look better using composite resin? This material is a very durable one, and can handle the daily bite forces and pressures expected of tooth surfaces. The material is also metal-free, made from a unique blend of glass-like and acrylic-like particles, and is safe for all patients. We can also color-match this material to ensure it blends with the smile and offers a more natural appearance!
The Bonding Process
If we examine your smile and find that dental bonding is the right solution for your cosmetic concerns, then we will numb the tooth to ensure your comfort as we clean it and etch the outer surface. We then prepare and place the composite resin in several layers. As we do, we will shape and mold the material while we cure it beneath a special light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. In one visit, this can take on multiple cosmetic issues!
For example, we can mask teeth stains too severe to be removed with teeth whitening. Placement could fill in gaps between teeth or even repair minor chips and cracks. The procedure could lengthen worn down teeth and address misshapen structures too, all in one sitting.
Contouring Your Teeth
Our team could also offer another same-day cosmetic treatment in the form of dental contouring. This can also take on cosmetic and minor restorative issues, but instead of adding to the toho, we will gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct the issues. The procedure allows us to address the appearance of minor chips, malformed teeth, or overly large structures. We can smooth away any grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer structures. The contouring process also dulls sharp, pointed, or jagged tooth structures. Our team can even conduct both in the same visit, so you enjoy a smile transformation with bonding and contouring.
If you have any questions about our cosmetic and restorative treatments, and how they ensure lifelike appearances, then reach out to our team today. We would love the chance to help transform your smile in 2026, so talk to our office today to get started.
