Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and that means you might be planning a date night with your partner or a Galentine’s Day party with your friends. Whether you plan on staying in for the night or going out, you still want to feel confident in your smile. Your team at Cedar West Family Dentistry in Richfield, MN, can help you disguise stains on your teeth with cosmetic bonding so you can look and feel your best.
Conceal Stubborn Blemishes
Your teeth can become stained for various reasons – certain beverages, foods, accidents, medications, and more. In many cases, you can reduce the discoloration with a good oral hygiene routine or a professional whitening treatment. However, if the stains occur below your enamel, you may need a treatment that can conceal these blemishes. Cosmetic bonding involves adding a lifelike material to the surface of your teeth to disguise the look of stains, chips, gaps, and other imperfections you may want to conceal. This process is noninvasive and can often be completed in just one appointment. After the treatment, you can continue your oral hygiene routine as needed and eat or drink your favorite things as usual.
Reshape Your Smile
You can choose to have bonding done as its own service, or pair it with a cosmetic contouring treatment. This procedure can help improve the appearance of jagged or rough teeth to create a more balanced look. To do this, your dentist will gently remove a small amount of your tooth’s structure. This process is not reversible, so your dentist will first need to examine your teeth to ensure they are in good health. After the treatment, you may experience some mild sensitivity, but this should go away within a few days.
Come In For A Checkup
Cosmetic bonding and contouring can help improve the appearance of your smile, but it’s still important that you take a look at your oral health. If it’s been a while since your last dentist visit, now is a great time to schedule cleaning and checkup. When you come in for this preventive care visit, a skilled hygienist will carefully remove plaque from the surface of your teeth. This step can help prevent cavities from forming and can remove some stains from your pearly whites. After a thorough cleaning, your dentist will carefully examine your smile to look for signs of cavities, gingivitis, and other concerns. If your dentist spots any of these concerns, they will plan restorative treatments to refresh your oral health.
