When you have more than just teeth stains, but also concerns with the shape of the teeth or gaps between them, then you may benefit from dental bonding and contouring. These cosmetic treatments provide improvement in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist talks about bonding and contouring!
The dental bonding procedure actually uses the same metal-free composite resin as our dental fillings. This material is safe for all ages, and can be shaded to blend with your smile too. The procedure offers cosmetic improvement in only one visit. Our team can mask teeth stains too severe for traditional whitening treatments, and also close gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. The procedure could repair minor chips and cracks, reshape malformed teeth, and even lengthen worn down tooth structures too.
The procedure itself involves our team numbing the tooth being treated so that you stay comfortable as we remove any decay and clean the tooth. We may also etch the outer surface too. Our team then places the composite resin on the teeth in multiple layers. As we cure the composite resin under a light, we will mold and sculpt the tooth. The last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance. In one visit, we can transform one or more teeth!
Our team could also help by contouring the teeth, which involves gently sanding and buffing away outer structure instead of adding to the tooth. Our team can use contouring to smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer structure. We could also dull sharp, pointed, or jagged structures, and reshape malformed or overly large teeth. The procedure could also correct the appearance of minor chips too. We can do this alongside bonding too!
Do you have issues with the appearance of your smile, but are not sure how to get started in improving it? Then schedule a consultation with our team! During your cosmetic consultation, our team will take detailed images and x-rays of your smile to make a diagnosis with precision and accuracy, so we understand the cause and severity of your cosmetic concerns. We then create a treatment plan to offer improvements, often in only one visit. If you have any questions about how we improve smiles with cosmetic dentistry, or if you would like to schedule your first visit of 2025, then reach out to our team today to learn more.
