Did you know that we can offer cosmetic treatment for multiple concerns in only one visit? With treatments like dental bonding and contouring, we can reshape teeth and mask imperfections in one appointment. In today’s blog, your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist talks about dental bonding and contouring, and explains how we can use these treatments to transform your smile.
The dental bonding procedure uses the same lifelike and durable material as our metal-free dental fillings. Composite resin is a metal-free blend of acrylic-like and glass-like materials, one that can be shaded to blend with the rest of your tooth. The procedure only takes one visit to complete, and involves our team numbing the tooth so we can clean the tooth and etch the outer surface. Next, we prepare the composite resin and shade it to blend with your smile. We apply this in several layers and then sculpt and mold the tooth to ensure a lifelike appearance and a balanced bite. We then polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.
The procedure could be used to fill in the gaps between the teeth, including black triangle spaces. We could reshape malformed teeth and also mask permanent teeth stains. Placement could also improve bite balance and repair minor chips and cracks. For some, this could essentially offer a smile makeover for some patients!
We also have another cosmetic treatment that can offer an attractive smile in one visit. This can be done alongside dental bonding, or in a separate visit. Instead of adding new structures to the teeth, we will actually sand and buff the outer structure to improve smile beauty. With contouring, we can smooth away grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer surfaces. Our team can also dull sharp, pointed, or jagged teeth, and even correct misshapen or overly large teeth too. We could use the procedure to address the appearance of chipped teeth too.
How do you know if either of these, or both, are right for you? With a cosmetic consultation, our team will take a close look at your smile with advanced imaging technology, and also talk about your hopes for your smile. We then create a treatment plan to address these concerns and offer a more attractive smile. For some, this is possible in only one visit with bonding and contouring. If you have any questions about cosmetic dentistry, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you enjoy a stunning smile that makes you feel confident in your appearance, and these cosmetic treatments can sometimes offer improvements for the health and function of your bite too.
