With composite resin, we can offer a cosmetic treatment that only takes one visit to finish. Dental bonding, along with cosmetic contouring, could help address concerns with the shape and color of your teeth. In today’s blog, your El Paso, TX, dentists explain how we help smiles with bonding and contouring.
The Dental Bonding Process
Dental bonding is a procedure that can offer major cosmetic transformation in only one visit. To get started, our team will numb the tooth and then gently remove all decay from the tooth. We then clean it and etch the outer surfaces. We then apply a composite resin to the tooth in several layers. As we cure the material under a special light, our team will sculpt and mold the tooth. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance and a smoother finish. In one visit, we can mask permanent teeth stains, reshape malformed teeth, and repair minor chips and cracks. Our team can also close embarrassing gaps between the teeth and lengthen teeth down by grinding and clenching too!
Composite Resin
We don’t use a metal material to repair the tooth, instead we employ a composite resin that is safe for all ages. The material blends acrylic and quartz-like materials, and is also used in our tooth-colored dental fillings. The material can actually be shaded to blend with the rest of your tooth structure. Composite resin is also biocompatible and durable, and can protect your tooth for years to come.
Contouring Your Teeth
Our team can also offer another cosmetic treatment in only one visit. With dental contouring, we can correct minor cosmetic issues by sanding and buffing the outer structure. This can happen in the same visit as your bonding procedure, or in a separate one. With contouring, our team can correct the appearance of minor chips, and smooth out grooves, pits, and rough patches in the outer surfaces. The procedure can also reshape overly large or misshapen teeth, and also dull sharp, jagged, and pointed portions of tooth structure. For a smile makeover, we could combine these with other common treatments, such as professional teeth whitening.
