Bonding Offers Smile Touch-Ups

celina dental bondingWhen you have more than one cosmetic imperfection you want to see addressed, there is a chance we could offer major improvement in only one visit! Dental bonding and contouring can provide cosmetic correction in only one sitting. In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about smile touch-ups with bonding and contouring.

The Cosmetic Benefits of Composite Resin

Dental bonding uses composite resin, the same material we employ as part of our tooth-colored dental fillings. The material is safe for all ages and biocompatible, clinging with your tooth for years to come. The material can be used to mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that may otherwise resist traditional teeth whitening. Placement could also repair minor chips and cracks, and reshape malformed teeth too. We’ll close embarrassing gaps between the teeth as well, and lengthen structure worn down by bruxism. We can offer a makeover in just one appointment!

The Dental Bonding Procedure

The procedure only takes one visit to complete! To get started, we will numb the area being treated and gently clean the tooth and possibly etch the outer surface. We then prepare the composite resin, shading it to blend with your tooth and look natural. We apply the material in several layers, and as we cure the composite resin beneath a light, we sculpt and mold the tooth. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. In a single visit, we can offer major cosmetic transformations for your smile.

Contouring Your Teeth

In addition to bonding, we also have another single visit cosmetic treatment with dental contouring, which can occur in the same visit or in a separate one. With contouring, we address esthetic concerns by sanding and buffing away small portions of outer structure instead of adding new structures to the teeth. We can correct the appearance of minor chips, and reduce the appearance of sharp, pointed, or jagged tooth structures. Our team can smooth out pits, grooves, and rough patches in your teeth and address overly large or misshapen ones too. If you have cosmetic concerns with your teeth and want to see stunning results quickly, preferably before your big holiday gatherings, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you smile with confidence and enjoy optimal oral health and a shining holiday smile!
