When you have issues with your smile’s appearance beyond simple teeth stains, we can often correct these imperfections in only one visit. To do so, we can use dental bonding or contouring, or a combination of the two. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about smile transformation in a single visit.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
To get started on your path toward a more attractive smile, we will begin with an initial consultation. As part of this visit, our team will carefully examine the teeth with digital technology, so we can assess the cause and extent of your cosmetic concerns with precision and accuracy. We then plan treatment. For typical teeth stains, we could offer professional teeth whitening. But for permanent discoloration and issues with the shape of the teeth, we could offer esthetic improvement in one visit with bonding and contouring.
Dental Bonding
With dental bonding, we use composite resin to improve smile beauty, the same metal-free blend of glass-like and acrylic particles we employ in our tooth-colored fillings. We begin by numbing the tooth and gently cleaning and etching the outer surface. We then apply the composite resin, which we shade to blend with your tooth, and mold the tooth as we cure it under a light. The last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance. In one visit, our team could mask permanent discoloration, repair crack and chips, lengthen worn down teeth, reshape malformed teeth, and even close unsightly gaps between the teeth. We could even whiten teeth beforehand so the bonding matches your brightest possible smile.
Dental Contouring
The contouring procedure takes a very different approach. Our team will gently sand and buff away outer structure to correct esthetic issues, instead of adding new materials to the tooth. With the contouring procedure, we can smooth out rough patches, grooves, and pits in the outer structure. Our team can also address very minor chips, and reshape malformed or overly large teeth too. We can even dull sharp or pointed teeth as well. Again, both of these procedures can take only one visit to complete, and for a smile makeover we could combine them with options like professional teeth whitening and porcelain veneers.
