When you have several cosmetic imperfections, then you may assume a beautiful smile requires multiple visits and procedures. But we can use dental bonding to repair teeth and offer improvement in only one visit! In today’s blog, your Charles City, IA, dentist talks about cosmetic bonding and contouring, and how we can use these treatments to transform your smile in only one sitting!
The Benefits of a Dental Bonding Treatment
Dental bonding uses the same material that our tooth-colored dental fillings employ. Composite resin is biocompatible, and bonds with the tooth structure to offer a lifelike appearance and a long-lasting repair for your tooth. Our team can use the procedure to repair cracked or chipped teeth, reshape malformed or damaged ones, and even lengthen the structures worn down by teeth grinding. Bonding can close embarrassing gaps between the teeth and even mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that could resist teeth whitening. For many, this is essentially a smile makeover in only one visit!
The Process of Repairing Your Smile
The placement process begins with our team numbing the tooth, so you’re comfortable as we clean it and gently etch the outer surface. We then prepare and place the composite resin, which is shaded to blend with the tooth. As we cure the material beneath a light, we will shape and sculpt the tooth. The last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance. In one sitting, we can tackle multiple cosmetic imperfections, so you leave our office with a shining new smile.
Dental Contouring
In the same visit, we could also correct multiple smile imperfections with dental contouring. The contouring protruded doesn’t involve adding new materials to your tooth. Instead, we gently sand and buff away portions of structure to reshape the teeth and address common imperfections. For example, we can correct the appearance of minor chips, and smooth out grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer surfaces. Our team can reshape malformed or overly large teeth, and dull sharp, pointed or jagged portions of your tooth.
