When your smile is healthy but you have a few noticeable blemishes that teeth whitening alone cannot handle, Dr. Smith and our team may recommend bonding and contouring treatment to achieve the cosmetic results you desire. These procedures are especially effective for treating minor chips or cracks in a tooth, reshaping large or jagged teeth, and filling minor gaps between structures. Utilizing a tooth-colored composite resin material to provide a highly lifelike and discreet finish, bonding and contouring treatment is a versatile cosmetic solution for blemishes of various types. There are several reasons why you might want to improve your smile’s appearance, and our friendly and attentive team is here to help make that process as smooth and convenient as possible.
Cosmetic bonding describes the process of attaching tooth-colored composite resin to the surface of your tooth, creating a biocompatible and highly realistic restoration. Contouring, on the other hand, involves lightly sculpting your tooth’s outer layer of enamel using gentle and conservative methods. The process is minimally invasive, does not cause discomfort, and the two procedures can be used in tandem or individually, depending on the patient’s unique needs and dentist’s recommendation.
