When you have several cosmetic imperfections with the shape and color of your teeth, then you may feel embarrassed about your smile. But what if we could correct these issues in only one visit? In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about how we boost smile beauty in one visit with bonding and contouring.
The Dental Bonding Procedure
The dental bonding treatment uses the same composite resin as our tooth-colored dental fillings, which means our treatment will blend with the appearance of your smile. Our team gently numbs the tooth being treated with a local anesthetic, and then cleans the tooth and etches the outer surface. The prepared composite resin, shaded to blend with your smile, is then added to the tooth in multiple layers. Next, our team will sculpt and mold the tooth as the material cures beneath a special light. The last step is to polish the tooth thoroughly for a brighter appearance!
In one visit, our team can mask permanent teeth stains that may not respond to traditional teeth whitening procedures, and even fill gaps and black triangle spaces between teeth. We can correct misshapen teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, and even repair minor chips and cracks too!
The Cosmetic Contouring Treatment
With the cosmetic contouring procedure, we have an option that is less involved. We don’t need to add material to the teeth. Instead, our team will improve smile beauty by gently sanding and buffing the outer structure to reshape the tooth. For example, we can correct the appearance of minor chips, reshape malformed or overly large teeth, and even dull sharp, pointed, or jagged teeth. Our team can even smooth out rough patches, grooves, and pits in the outer surface. This can be done in the same visit as boding, or in a separate one.
Smile Makeover Options
For a smile makeover, we combine multiple cosmetic treatments to address the imperfections impacting your smile. For example, we can whiten the teeth before conducting bonding or contouring, or we may reserve veneers for the more front facing teeth. Our team understands that a beautiful smile is a source of confidence, and that an attractive smile is also one that is being cared for and less likely to develop cavities and even gum disease.
If you have any questions about our cosmetic treatment options, then contact our team today to learn more. We want you to feel proud of your new smile!
