In our last blog we explained how professional teeth whitening can brighten smiles by multiple shades, and offer stunning results. But what if you have more than just teeth stains? With dental bonding and contouring, your Maple Grove, MN, dentist explains how we can offer major smile transformation in only one appointment.
Dental bonding is a procedure that can address your cosmetic imperfections in only one visit, using the same composite resin material as our tooth-colored dental fillings. The material blends acrylic and glass-like particles, and is biocompatible, clinging to the tooth. In addition, we can shade the material to match the tooth and the rest of your smile too. The procedure involves our team numbing your tooth so you are comfortable as we etch the surfaces and apply the bonding material. We then shape the tooth as this metal-free material cures beneath a light. The last step is to polish the tooth for a brighter smile.
The procedure can mask permanent teeth stains, reshape malformed teeth, repair minor chips and cracks, and lengthen teeth worn down by bruxism (teeth grinding). Our team can also close embarrassing spaces and black triangle gaps between the teeth, all in one sitting.
In the same visit, or in a separate one, we can correct multiple smile issues with a cosmetic contouring procedure. Instead of adding new materials to the tooth, our team can gently sand and buff away outer structure to make improvements in the smile’s appearance. For example, we can smooth away the rough patches, grooves, and pits in the outer surfaces. Our team can dull jagged, sharp, and pointed portions of the teeth too. The procedure can also correct the shape of chipped teeth and address overly or misshapen teeth too.
Our team could also combine these with other treatments for a smile makeover. For example, we can whiten the teeth beforehand so your bonding results match your brightest smile. We could use lifelike porcelain veneers for the front facing teeth and reserve bonding and contouring for the side and rear teeth. Our team wants to make sure you not only have a healthy and functional smile, but one that looks great and makes you feel more confident in your appearance too.
If you have any questions about how we improve the beauty of your smile in one visit with bonding and contouring, or if you want to schedule a cosmetic consultation to start your journey to a beautiful smile, then contact our team today.
