When you have chipped a tooth, or have issues with the shape or color of one, we can provide solutions in one visit. Dental bonding and contouring are cosmetic procedures that can be completed same-day to offer stunning results. In today’s blog, your Livonia, MI, dentist talks about how we offer one-visit cosmetic treatment in one visit with bonding and contouring.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
To get started, we will schedule a consultation. Our team will talk to you about your oral health habits and also your hopes for your smile. We then examine your teeth and gums to assess the state of your oral health and the underlying factors behind your esthetic imperfections. With this information, our team can create a personalized treatment plan to address these concerns and offer major smile improvement. Every smile is unique, so we take a personalized approach to improving your smile’s health, function, and beauty.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding can offer major smile improvement in only one visit. The procedure uses the same composite resin that we employ as part of our lifelike, metal-free fillings. Composite resin is a blend of glass-like and acrylic particles that we can shade to blend with your tooth structure. Our team will numb the tooth and clean it thoroughly. We then etch the outer surface and apply the prepared material in multiple layers. As we cure the composite under a light, we can sculpt it to ensure a proper bite balance and of course, a lifelike appearance. The last step is to polish it for a brighter look.
With bonding, we can mask permanent teeth stains that could resist teeth whitening. The procedure could repair minor chips and cracks, and reshape malformed teeth. Placement could also fill gaps and black triangle spaces between your teeth. For some, this alone offers a smile makeover!
Contouring
We could also help your smile with cosmetic contouring, in which we reshape the teeth by gently sanding and buffing the outer structure. The procedure can reshape overly large or malformed teeth, correct the appearance of minor chips, and smooth out pits, grooves, and rough patches in the tooth structure. We can conduct this in a separate visit or alongside the bonding procedure. If you have any questions about cosmetic dentistry, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you feel confident in your smile.
