Cosmetic dentistry offers far more than just teeth whitening, and in fact, we could improve the overall beauty of your smile in only one visit. With dental bonding and contouring, our team can provide cosmetic improvement in a single sitting. In today’s blog, your Prairie Village, KS, dentist talks about improving smiles with bonding and contouring.
Our Cosmetic Consultation
To start your journey to a beautiful new smile, our team will recommend an initial cosmetic consultation. During this visit, we will talk to you about the issues you want to see addressed, and create a personalized treatment plan to address them. We may recommend bonding and contouring as part of your cosmetic treatment, as these two procedures can offer results in only one visit, so you leave our office with noticeable results and a shining smile!
Dental Bonding
With dental bonding, our team will use the same composite resin that makes our dental fillings look so lifelike. We will numb the tooth so you are comfortable while we remove any decay and then gently clean and etch the outer surfaces. We shade the composite resin to ensure it can blend with the tooth and the rest of your smile, and then apply it to the tooth in several layers. As the composite resin cures under a light, our team will sculpt and mold the tooth. The last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance.
In one visit, our team can mask permanent teeth stains, correct misshapen teeth, address the appearance of chipped and cracked teeth, and even lengthen worn down teeth. The procedure can even fill gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. For some, this is a smile makeover in only one visit!
Cosmetic Contouring
In the same visit or a separate one, we could also address cosmetic imperfections in one sitting with dental contouring. Instead of adding new material to the tooth, we will gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct cosmetic imperfections. For example, we can smooth out grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer surfaces. Our team can dull sharp, jagged, or pointed teeth too. We can correct the appearance of a chipped tooth and also address overly large or misshapen teeth too.
If you have any questions about how our team will offer cosmetic improvement in only one visit with bonding and contouring, then contact our office today.
