In our last blog, we looked at how we brighten teeth with our cosmetic whitening procedures. But what if you also have damaged teeth or misshapen ones? We could offer major cosmetic improvement in only one visit with bonding and contouring! In today’s blog, your Grand Prairie, TX, dentist talks about same-day cosmetic repair with bonding and contouring, so you can feel good about your smile’s appearance and avoid complications with your oral health and bite function.
The Cosmetic Repair Bonding Provides
With dental bonding, we can improve smile beauty in one sitting. The procedure involves our team numbing the tooth in question and then removing any decay and cleaning it thoroughly. We may also etch the outer surface. Our team then prepares and applies a composite resin material, which we shade to blend with the tooth, in several layers. As the composite resin is cured beneath a light, we will sculpt and mold the tooth to ensure a proper appearance and balanced bite. In one visit, we can complete the entire composite procedure!
Restoring Your Tooth
The dental bonding procedure allows our team to repair minor chips and cracks, and also fill in any exposed gaps between the teeth. Our team can also mask permanent teeth stains that may otherwise resist traditional teeth whitening treatments. Placement could help correct misshapen teeth and improve bite balance, and also add length to worn-down teeth as well. We could also whiten the teeth beforehand so the composite resin will match your brightest possible smile!
The Contouring Procedure
Along with dental bonding, we also have another same-day cosmetic procedure that can be done in the same visit or a separate one known as contouring. With this option we don’t add new materials to the tooth. Instead, our team will gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct common cosmetic imperfections in the shape and surfaces of the teeth.
For example, we can smooth out any pits, grooves, or rough patches in the outside of your smile. The procedure can also dull portions of the teeth that are sharp, pointed, or jagged. With this treatment option, we can correct overly large teeth and the appearance of minor chips as well. For a true smile makeover, we could combine these treatments with options like teeth whitening and even porcelain veneers, so we can transform the appearance of your smile.
