We don’t just offer professional teeth whitening as part of our cosmetic treatments. With dental bonding and cosmetic contouring, we can address other concerns with the shape of your teeth, or with gaps between them. In today’s blog, your Sheridan, WY, dentist talks about the benefits of cosmetic bonding.
The Bonding Procedure
The procedure uses the same material as our dental fillings, a metal-free composite resin that can be shaded to blend with the tooth. Which means this procedure also takes only one visit to complete. We will numb your tooth to keep you comfortable as we clean it and gently etch the outer surfaces. Next, we apply the prepared material in several layers. As these layers cure, we will sculpt and mold the tooth. The last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance.
The Cosmetic Improvements
Our team could use dental bonding to mask the teeth stains that don’t respond to traditional teeth whitening treatments, known as permanent discoloration. We could also repair minor cracks and chips, correct misshapen teeth, and even lengthen structure worn down by injury or teeth grinding. The procedure could also close embarrassing gaps between the teeth too. We could use this to remove bite balance and chewing function too, limiting the risk of associated complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). Again, all of this takes place in only one visit!
Contouring Your Teeth
In the same visit, we could also correct common esthetic issues with dental contouring. This procedure doesn’t involve adding new structure to the tooth. Instead, we gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct common esthetic complaints. For example, we can correct the appearance of minor chips, and address misshapen or overly large teeth too. The procedure can smooth out pits, grooves, and rough patches, and dull sharp, pointed, or jagged portions of tooth structure. We can help improve overall bite balance too. For many, this could improve the smile in one visit. We could also combine them with other cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening to ensure the results match your brightest smile, or with veneers, using bonding for the side and rear teeth, and veneers for the more visible front facing ones.
