Cosmetic dentistry provides a way to boost the shape and color of your teeth. With options like dental bonding and contouring, we can offer care in only one visit! In today’s blog, your team at Delightful Dental Care talks about our cosmetic treatments, and how they reshape smiles in only one appointment.

Dental Bonding

Let’s start with dental bonding. The procedure uses composite resin to help repair and restore a tooth. We will apply the material to the tooth in multiple layers, and sculpt the tooth as the composite resin cures under a light., The last step is to then polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. The material bonds with the tooth and is color-matched for a more attractive appearance.

We will apply this material, we will be able to cover up teeth stains too severe to be removed with traditional whitening methods. Our team can also fill in open gaps between the teeth and reshape malformed or damaged structures too. We can even add length to worn down teeth too! For some, this could makeover portions of the smile. The same material is used in our lifelike dental fillings.

Contouring

We also have another same-day treatment with dental contouring. With this option we don’t add new material to the tooth. Instead, we will gently sand and buff the tooth to remove a small layer of outer structure and correct imperfections at the same time. We can sooth away parts that are rough, pitted, or grooved, and help address the appearance of chipped or overly large teeth. We can also dull portions that are sharp, jagged, and pointed, all in a single visit.

Keeping Your Teeth Bright  

Following treatment, you can take steps to protect the appearance of your smile. To limit the risk of chipped teeth, be sure you wear a mouthguard when playing sports. To keep your teeth brighter for longer periods, be sure you brush and floss daily, limit sugar and avoid tobacco products, and see our team for a routine checkup and cleaning visit every six months. If you have any questions about how we can makeover your smile in only one visit with cosmetic dentistry, or about bonding and contouring in particular, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. We can help you end your summer and start fall with a stunning new smile!
