When you have issues with the shape and color of your teeth, you may wish you could obtain a makeover. Fortunately, with dental bonding and contouring, we can make major changes to your teeth in just one sitting. In today’s blog, your Richfield, MN, dentist talks about the benefits of improving smiles with bonding and contouring.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
If you want to see major improvement in the beauty of your smile, then you should contact our team to schedule a cosmetic consultation. During your visit, our team will talk about your hopes for your smile and then take a close look at your teeth with advanced imaging technology to assess the cause and extent of your imperfections. From there, we can plan treatment to improve the overall beauty of your smile. With dental bonding and cosmetic contouring, we can often complete these changes in only one visit!
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding employs the same composite resin that our tooth fillings do, a blend of acrylic-like and glass-like particles that are metal-free and safe for everyone. The material can be shaded to blend with the appearance of your smile, so your results look natural. Placement involves our team numbing the tooth or teeth being treated, so you are comfortable as we clean them and etch the surfaces. We then apply the composite resin in multiple layers, and as we sculpt and mold the tooth, we will cure the composite resin under a special light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.
With bonding, we can mask permanent teeth stains that could resist teeth whitening treatments, and close embarrassing gaps and black triangle spaces between your teeth. Placement can also repair minor cracks and chips, address misshapen teeth, and lengthen worn down structures too. In one visit, we can make major changes to your smile!
Cosmetic Contouring
Cosmetic contouring also takes one visit to complete, but takes a very different approach. Our team will gently sand and buff away the outer structure to address common cosmetic concerns. We can correct the appearance of chipped teeth, and reshape overly large or malformed teeth. We can dull sharp, pointed, or jagged portions of the teeth, and also smooth away rough patches, pits, and grooves. We can complete both in one visit, and even combine them with treatments like teeth whitening or porcelain veneers for a smile makeover.
