In today’s blog, your Newhall, CA, dentist talks about the tooth bonding and contouring process.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
If you have concerns with the appearance of your smile, then you should see us right away. Our team will talk to you about the imperfections you wish to see addressed, and also offer a personalized treatment plan to correct them. We will carefully examine your smile with digital technology to assess the cause and extent of these cosmetic concerns, so we can create a treatment plan tailored to your smile. For many, we can use bonding and contouring to offer improvement in only one visit, so you obtain results quickly!
Tooth Bonding
Dental bonding helps address an array of esthetic imperfections at once. We do so with composite resin, a material that is metal-free and blends acrylic-like and glass-like particles. The material is used in our tooth-colored dental fillings, so it can bond with the tooth and be shaded to blend with your smile. placement takes one visit, we simply numb the tooth and then clean it before etching the outer surface. We prepare and place the bonding material in multiple layers, and then sculpt the material as the tooth is cured beneath a light. The last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance.
Tooth bonding can mask permanent teeth stains and repair minor cracks and chips. The procedure can close embarrassing gaps between the teeth and lengthen worn down tooth structure too. In one visit, we can offer major improvements for your smile’s appearance! Addressing damage also helps prevent complications like tooth decay and infection, improving your oral health too.
Contouring Your Teeth
Our team also has another one-visit procedure, which can help in the same appointment or in a separate one. With contouring, we don’t add new materials to the tooth in question, we instead gently sand and buff away outer structure to address minor concerns. Our team can address rough patches, pits, and grooves in the outer structure, and dull sharp, pointed, or jagged portions of the teeth. The procedure can also reshape overly large teeth, correct the appearance of minor chips, and more.
