A healthy smile should be your priority, but cosmetic flaws are an understandable concern. Because a person’s smile can be one of their most recognizable features, issues with the shape, size, or color of a tooth can have a real impact on your overall appearance. Your dentist can make improvements to your tooth that help you feel better about your smile. Dental bonding and contouring can allow for precise corrections, and can make notable changes. While the results leave you with what looks to be a naturally flawless tooth, those who remember your previous appearance can be struck by the pronounced change that has taken place.
Undergoing Your Bonding And Contouring Treatment
Bonding and contouring, when used together, can overhaul your tooth’s appearance. Dental bonding makes corrections through the application of composite resin. This material, which is also employed in the making of dental fillings, will hide flaws, including stubborn discoloration. In order to reduce the size of an overly large or misshapen tooth, your dentist can contour the tooth. This is a safe, and careful, removal of excess material. Bonding and contouring can often be performed during the same appointment, and you can have your results in just a single session.
Appearance Flaws That Affect Your Tooth Could Call For A Dental Crown
If your tooth’s flaws also create functional disadvantages, a dental crown can be a better solution. The crown, in addition to hiding distracting issues with the look of a tooth, will also serve as functional support. A crown is permanent, as your tooth has to be modified to receive it, but the restoration is built to last for many years.
