When you have more than one cosmetic imperfection with the shape and color of a tooth, you need a treatment option that handles these concerns all at once. With dental bonding, we can do that and also complete the procedure in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Sunny Smiles team talks about the benefits of dental bonding.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Dental Bonding
With dental bonding, we apply the same composite resin used in our dental fillings. This material is metal-free, safe for all ages, and can be shaded to blend with your smile. When in place, we can mask permanent teeth stains, address gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth, and lengthen worn-down structures too. Placement could address minor chips and cracks too, and reshape malformed teeth too. In one visit, this can offer major smile improvement!
Repairing Your Smile
To begin, we will numb the tooth to ensure you feel comfortable as remove any decay and gently etch the outer surfaces. Next, our team will prepare the composite resin material. When it is color matched and ready, we will apply it in several layers to the tooth, sculpting and molding the tooth as the material cures under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. In one visit, we can tackle a host of serious esthetic issues.
Dental Contouring
With contouring, we can sand and buff the outer structure to address multiple cosmetic issues at once, in a separate visit or in the same one as your bonding procedure. Our team will smooth away any rough patches, pits, and grooves in the outer structure. We can also dull sharp, jagged, or pointed teeth too. Contouring can address the shape of chipped teeth and correct overly sharp teeth too! For a true smile makeover, we could combine these with other cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening or even porcelain veneers.
