When to See Our Team
When should you talk to our team about cosmetic dentistry? If you have concerns regarding the appearance of your smile, talk to us! Don’t hide your smile from the world, let us know what issue you want to see corrected. Often, we can use bonding and contouring to address these imperfections in only one visit. Our team will start by talking to you about your goals for your smile, and then examine your teeth with advanced imaging technology, so we can plan treatment in detail. If we choose bonding and contouring, then we could offer major transforming in only one sitting.
Dental Bonding
The bonding procedure uses a composite resin to repair the tooth. The material is a blend of glass-like and acrylic-like particles that we can shade to blend with the smile. This is actually the same material we use for our tooth-colored dental fillings. Our team will numb the tooth so you are comfortable as we remove decay and clean the tooth. We may etch the outer surface too. Our team will then shade the composite resin so it blends with your tooth, and will apply it in multiple layers. As we sculpt and mold the tooth, we will cure the composite resin with a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.
With the procedure, we can mask permanent teeth stains, close gaps and black triangle spaces between teeth, and reshape malformed teeth. Our team can also repair minor chips and cracks, lengthen worn down teeth, and more.
Cosmetic Contouring
In the same visit or a separate one, we can also continue the teeth. We don’t add material to the tooth, instead we will gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct the cosmetic imperfections you have. For example, our team can smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the surfaces of your smile. We can dull sharp, jagged, or pointed tooth structure. Our team can correct the appearance of minor chips and even reshape overly large teeth too.
If you have any questions about how we contour the teeth and offer a more attractive smile, then contact our team today.
