Cosmetic dentistry does more than just remove teeth stains. In fact, we can use cosmetic bonding to repair teeth in one visit and address a host of esthetic concerns. In today’s blog, your Virginia Beach, VA, dentist talks about our bonding and contouring treatments.
The Cosmetic Potential Of Bonding
Dental bonding uses composite resin to repair teeth and address cosmetic imperfections, the same material we use in our tooth-colored dental fillings. The material is durable and biocompatible, and can be shaded to blend with your teeth and surrounding smile. We can use composite resin to mask permanent teeth stains, fill gaps between the teeth, and repair cracks and chips. We can lengthen worn down teeth too, and also address misshapen ones as well. For some, this could offer makeover potential for smiles!
The Treatment Process
The procedure begins with our team administering a local anesthesia to keep you comfortable as our team removes any decay and cleans the tooth. We then gently etch the outer surface to help the composite resin adhere to the teeth as it cures beneath a light. The material is color matched to blend with your smile too. After we apply the material, we shape the tooth while the composite resin cures. The last step is to polish the tooth for a more lifelike and brighter appearance. The entire process only takes one visit!
Contouring Your Teeth
In the same visit or a separate one, we could also address multiple cosmetic imperfections with a dental contouring procedure. With dental contouring, we will actually sand and buff away outer structure to address cosmetic concerns. For example, we can correct the appearance of minor chips, and correct misshapen or overly large teeth too. Contouring can smooth away pits, groves, and rough portions of tooth structure. We can also dull sharp, pointed, and jagged tooth structure too.
