Correcting Smile Blemishes With Tooth Bonding

November 19, 2024

When you have cosmetic blemishes in your teeth and want to see them corrected, then you should see us for cosmetic dentistry. We have an array of treatment options, including one that can offer results in one sitting. With tooth bonding, we can mask common issues and even reshape the teeth in a single visit. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist looks at our safe and holistic tooth bonding procedure.

Your Cosmetic Consultation

To begin, we want to talk to you about your smile and the issues you want us to address. We then conduct a detailed examination to assess the cause and extent of your cosmetic concerns. Our team can then choose the right treatments to offer a more attractive smile. In some cases, care can be completed in only one visit. With dental bonding, we have the ability to transform your smile in one sitting, so you can leave with a smile that makes you feel confident.

Dental Bonding

With the dental bonding procedure, we will examine the smile and then numb it so you are comfortable during the treatment process. Our team may need to remove decay or etch the outer surface, and will clean the tooth thoroughly. We prepare the composite resin material, which is metal-free and safe for all ages, and will shade it to match the tooth. Our team applies this in several layers, and will sculpt the tooth as the material cures under a special light. The last step is to polish it for a brighter appearance.

In one visit, we can mask permanent teeth stains that could resist traditional teeth whitening, and even close black triangle space and gaps between teeth. Bonding can repair cracked or chipped teeth, and also lengthen worn down structures too. We can help reshape the teeth too.

Contouring the Smile

Our team can also address minor cosmetic issues by contouring the teeth. With dental contouring, we will actually sand and buff the outer structure to correct common imperfections in one visit. For example, we can reshape malformed or overly large teeth and correct the appearance of minor chips. Our team can also dull pointed, sharp, or jagged tooth structure. We can smooth out points, grooves, and rough patches in the outer tooth structure too. If you have any questions about how our team will correct the appearance of the smile with bonding and contouring, or if you would like to schedule an appointment, then contact our team today to learn more.
