If you have cosmetic imperfections with the appearance of your smile, such as stained teeth, injuries, or even concerns with their shape, we can help. In fact, with dental bonding and contouring, we can offer cosmetic improvements in only one sitting! Dr. James Stewart, DDS, PC, and our Livonia, MI, team are ready to make big improvements for your smile, so visit our website to learn more.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a cosmetic treatment that uses a composite resin to help restore your teeth and address imperfections in only one sitting. We will numb the tooth, etch the outer surface, and apply the composite resin in several layers. We will shade this to blend with your tooth, and then we will shape the tooth as the composite resin cures under a light. The last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance.
With dental bonding, in one visit we can cover up serious teeth stains and even fill in embarrassing gaps between the teeth. The procedure can repair minor injuries, add length to worn-down structures, and correct misshapen teeth too. We can even boost overall bite balance, all in one sitting!
Contouring Your Teeth
Our team can also contour your teeth in one visit to address multiple cosmetic concerns at once by buffing and sanding the outer structure. For example, if you have rough patches, pits, and grooves in the tooth, we can smooth this away. If you have portions that are sharp, jagged, and pointed, we can dull them in one visit. Contouring can also help correct the appearance of overly large or chipped teeth, all in a single visit, often in the same appointment as a bonding procedure!
Gum Contouring
In addition to molding and contouring the teeth, we also have an esthetic treatment that can address the gums. If you have a gummy smile, then you may display too much tissue when you smile, which can make teeth appear small or uneven. With gum contouring, we use laser dentistry to gently remove the excess tissues and reshape the gum line at the same time. In only one visit, this can improve the overall beauty of your smile. The lasers lower the risk of bleeding, infection, and swelling, so the treated area heals fast and you can return to your normal routine in as little as a day or two.
