With restorative dentistry, we can repair teeth and take on issues like tooth decay and dental infection. But did you know we can often restore teeth in only one visit? In today’s blog, your Leawood, KS, dentist talks about how we restore teeth in only one visit with dental bonding and contouring, offering cosmetic improvement for multiple issues at once!
The Dental Bonding Process
With dental bonding, we will use composite resin to repair the tooth and mask cosmetic imperfections. This is the same material we use in our lifelike dental fillings. Metal-free and safe for all ages, this can be shaded to blend with the tooth and offer esthetic improvement for the smile. Our team will begin by numbing the tooth being treated with a local anesthetic. We then clean the tooth and may etch the outer surface. We prepare and place the bonding material in several layers, sculpting and molding the composite resin as the material cures under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance!
Cosmetic and Restorative Improvement
In one visit, our team can repair chipped or broken teeth, preventing issues like tooth decay or infection. Placement can address misshapen teeth too and even fill in gaps and black triangle spaces too. The procedure can lengthen worn down teeth too! For some, we can even mask permanent teeth stains that could have otherwise resisted traditional teeth whitening. You can enjoy major cosmetic improvements in a single sitting!
Contouring Your Teeth
Our team can also correct multiple cosmetic issues with a separate procedure known as contouring. With this option, we will; sand and buff the outer structure to correct common esthetic issues. For encamped, we can correct the appearance of minor chips and correct overly large teeth. We can dull sharp, pointed, or jagged teeth too. The procedure can smooth away any grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer surfaces too. We could combine this and bonding in a single visit to address multiple issues, or use them in conjunction with teeth whitening or veneers for a smile makeover.
