Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just teeth whitening. We also have cosmetic treatments that can reshape your smile and address multiple concerns at once, and all in one visit! In today’s blog, your Celina, TX, dentist talks about how we improve smiles with dental bonding and contouring.
The Cosmetic Benefits of Dental Bonding
With the dental bonding procedure, our team will use the same composite resin that makes up our tooth-colored dental fillings. Composite resin is metal-free and safe for all ages, blending glass-like and acrylic-like particles. When we apply this to your teeth, we can mask the permanent teeth stains that could resist whitening treatments, and also fill in gaps and black triangle spaces between the teeth. We can repair minor chips and cracks and lengthen teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding). Our team can even reshape malformed teeth too! For some, this is essentially a smile makeover in only one visit.
The Bonding Procedure
How does the bonding procedure work? Well, our team will numb the tooth or teeth being treated with a local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure. We then prepare the composite resin material and may etch the outer surfaces of the tooth. We apply the material in several layers and then sculpt and mold the tooth. At the same time, the composite resin will cure under a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. In only one visit we can address multiple cosmetic issues at once!
How We Contour Your Teeth
Along with composite resin, we also have another procedure that can improve smile beauty in one visit. Dental contouring takes a different approach. Instead of adding new material to the tooth, we will gently sand and buff away portions of the outer structure to correct cosmetic imperfections. We can do so to correct the appearance of minor chips, or to address overly large or misshapen teeth. We can smooth out any pits, grooves, or rough patches in the teeth. Our team can also dull any sharp, jagged, or pointed portions of the teeth too. Combined, we can use bonding and contouring to offer major cosmetic improvement for your smile same-day!
