In our last blog, we talked about teeth whitening, a cosmetic treatment design to remove teeth stains. But we also have cosmetic treatments designed to repair minor damage and even reshape your teeth. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about how we improve smile beauty in one visit with bonding and contouring.
The Benefits of Bonding and Contouring
Dental bonding can help mask permanent teeth stains that would otherwise resist teeth whitening treatments. The procedure can also repair minor cracks and chips, address worn down teeth, and even reshape malformed structures too. Placement can fill gaps between the teeth too. With contouring, our team can remove pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer enamel, and also address sharp, jagged, or pointed teeth. The procedure can also reshape overly large teeth and correct the appearance of minor chips. In one visit, we can conduct both to offer major cosmetic improvement for your smile!
The Bonding Procedure
How does the bonding procedure work? Well, we will start by numbing the tooth being treated, and then we will remove any decay and clean the tooth thoroughly. We will etch the outer surface and then prepare the bonding material. We will shade this metal-free composite resin to ensure it blends with the appearance of your tooth. We apply the materials in several layers and then sculpt the tooth as this material cures under a special light. The process takes only one visit! If you have tooth decay, the same material can be used to offer a lifelike filling that is biocompatible and designed to last for years to come.
Contouring Your Teeth
With dental contouring, we take a very different approach. Our team will actually sand and buff away small portions of outer structures to correct cosmetic issues instead of adding to the tooth. We can address the issues with misshapen teeth, and help ensure better bite balance too. If you have any questions about how we improve the health and beauty of your smile in only one visit with bonding and contouring, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you smile with confidence and enjoy your best possible smile.
