Smile Touch-Ups With Dental Bonding

virginia beach dental bondingDoes your smile need a touch-up? If so, we can offer major cosmetic improvement in only one visit. With dental bonding and cosmetic contouring, we can address concerns with the shape and color of your teeth! In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, dentist talks about same-day cosmetic treatment with bonding and contouring.

Starting Your Treatment

Do you have more than one cosmetic concern with your smile? To start your path toward a stunning new smile, you should first give us a call and schedule an initial consultation. During this visit, our team will sit down with you to talk about your smile, and we will conduct a detailed examination with digital x-rays and intraoral cameras. The exams allow us to assess the cause and severity of your cosmetic imperfections, so we can create a custom treatment plan to improve overall smile beauty. If we elect to use bonding and contouring, then you could see your smile transformed in only one visit.

The Dental Bonding Process

Our lifelike fillings use composite resin instead of metal, because this material is string, durable, and biocompatible. The same material can also be shaded to blend with your tooth structure seamlessly. For this reason, we use the same material as part of our bonding procedure. Once we numb your tooth, we will etch the surface and clean it thoroughly, before we apply the shaded composite resin to it in several layers. As the material cures underneath a light, we will sculpt and mold the tooth to ensure an attractive appearance and a properly balanced bite.

Once done, we polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. The bonding procedure can repair cracked and chipped teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, and also close embarrassing gaps between the teeth. We can even correct misshapen teeth and mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that could be difficult to remove with traditional teeth whitening.

How We Recontour Your Teeth

Our team could also offer dental cleaning in the same visit, in which we sand and buff the outer structure to correct minor esthetic concerns. For example, we can address the appearance of a minor chip, and dull sharp, jagged, or pointed portions of tooth structure. We’ve used contouring to correct overly large or misshapen teeth, and to smooth our pits, grooves, and rough patches in the teeth. If you have any questions about how our team transforms your smile with cosmetic dentistry, or if you would like to schedule your next consultation, then contact our team today.
