Dental bonding and contouring are cosmetic treatments that allow our team to address imperfections with the shape and color of the teeth. Not only that, but these treatments can offer these improvements in only one sitting. In today’s blog, your Ankeny, IA, dentist talks about same-day cosmetic treatment with dental bonding and contouring.
The Bonding Procedure
Dental bonding can often tackle multiple cosmetic issues at once. We will use composite resin, a metal-free material that bonds with the tooth and can be color matched to blend with the rest of your smile. As with a filling procedure, this involves numbing the tooth and applying the material in several layers. We then shape and sculpt your tooth as the bonding material cures under a light. We then polish your tooth for a brighter appearance. We could also whiten your teeth beforehand so that the material is shaded to match your brightest possible smile.
The Cosmetic Benefits
With this composite resin material, our team can mask permanent teeth stains, the type that could withstand traditional teeth whitening treatments., Placement could fill gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth, and help address damaged teeth. We could reshape malformed teeth and even add length to worn down structures. For some, this could be a smile makeover in only one sitting! But we could also address cosmetic issues in the same visit with a procedure known as tooth contouring.
Contouring Your Teeth
The dental contouring procedure can address esthetic issues in one visit, but we don’t need to add new materials to the tooth. Instead, we only sand and buff the outer structure to correct these imperfections in one sitting. For example, we can smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer surfaces. We can dull sharp pointed, or jagged portions of your teeth. Our team can correct the appearance of chipped and overly large teeth.
