When you have a chipped or cracked tooth, or one that is misshapen, then you could benefit from cosmetic dentistry. With dental bonding and contouring, we can offer a conservative approach in only one visit. In today’s blog, your Kansas City, MO, dentist talks about how we transform smiles with composite resin bonding!

When Teeth Need Repair

When should you see our team for treatment? If you have chipped or cracked a tooth, then you need treatment to avoid the onset of cavities or infection. Likewise, if a tooth has issues that impact the appearance of your smile, such as discoloration or misshapen structure, we could help correct the issue in only one visit. With bonding and contouring, our team can offer same-day cosmetic results, so you can feel better about your smile and in the process, enjoy better oral health and bite function.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding involves the use of the same composite resin that we employ for our lifelike dental fillings. The metal-free composite resin can be shaded to blend with the smile, and once in place, can offer long-lasting repair and restoration. Placement involves our team numbing your tooth, removing decay and etching the surface, and then applying the material in several layers, sculpting the tooth while the composite resin cures under a light. We then polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.

Bonding can mask teeth stains, repair minor damage, and even correct misshapen or worn-down tooth structure. We can also close embarrassing gaps between the teeth, all in only one visit.

Cosmetic Contouring

The contouring procedure can be done in the same visit or a separate one, and again only takes one sitting to complete. Instead of adding new material to the tooth, our team will gently stand and buff away outer structure to offer a more attractive appearance. For example, we can dull sharp, pointed, or jagged structures. Our team can smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the outer tooth structure. We can also address the appearance of minor chips, correct overly large or misshapen teeth, and help improve overall bite balance.

If you have any questions about how we offer stunning results in one visit, or if you want to see which of our cosmetic treatments are right for you, then contact our team today to learn more. We’re ready to help you smile with confidence and enjoy optimal results, so you can start 2025 with an amazing smile!
