If you have concerns with the shape and color of your teeth, then you could benefit from cosmetic dentistry. With treatments like dental bonding and contouring, we can actually tailor care for your unique situation! In today’s blog, your Richfield, MN, dentist talks about dental bonding and contouring.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
First, schedule a cosmetic consultation with our team. We will examine your smile to assess the cause and extent of your esthetic issues, so we can create a treatment plan to improve the appearance of your smile. We will also talk to you about your hopes and goals for your smile. For many, we can offer major smile improvement in only one visit with dental bonding and contouring!
Dental Bonding
The bonding procedure allows our team to correct cosmetic imperfections in only one sitting using the same composite resin we employ as part of our lifelike dental fillings. Our team will numb the tooth (or teeth) being treated, so you stay comfortable as we remove any decay and then clean the tooth. We may also etch the outer surfaces as well. Our team then applies the composite resin, which we shade to blend with your tooth, in several layers. We sculpt and mold the tooth while the material cures under a light, and the last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance.
With the procedure, we can mask your teeth stains to brighten your smile. We can correct the shape of malformed teeth and even provide repair for minor chips and cracks. The procedure can also lengthen worn down teeth and even address misshapen structures too. Our team can even fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth too!
Dental Contouring
In the same sitting, we could also contour the teeth to correct multiple esthetic issues at once. With contouring, we don’t need to add new structures to your tooth. We actually sand and buff the outer structure to reshape the teeth and address common imperfections. For example, we can address the appearance of a chipped tooth, reshape malformed or overly large teeth, and improve overall bite balance. The procedure can also smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer tooth structure. We can even dull sharp, jagged, or pointed portions of your smile too.
