Cosmetic dentistry enables our team to improve the appearance of your smile. In fact, with dental bonding, we can offer holistic and lifelike treatment for multiple cosmetic concerns! In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about making positive changes to your smile with dental bonding.
The Dental Bonding Process
The procedure involves the use of a lifelike and durable material that will bond with your tooth. Composite resin is biocompatible and safe for patients of all types and ages. The material is holistic and metal-free, bonding with the tooth and lasting for years to come. In fact, we also use this to treat tooth decay! The process involves our team numbing the tooth to ensure you feel comfortable as we remove the decay from the tooth and thoroughly clean it. We may also etch the outer surfaces as well. Our team then applies the color-matched composite resin to the tooth in several layers. We then sculpt and mold the tooth as we cure the composite resin under a light. The final step is to polish the tooth for a brighter appearance!
The Cosmetic Benefits
In only one sitting, our team can use bonding to mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that could resist traditional teeth whitening treatments. Our team can also fill in black triangle spaces and gaps between the teeth. We can add length to worn-down teeth, correct misshapen teeth, and even repair minor damage too. For some, this is a chance at a makeover for one or more of the teeth. In the same sitting, we can also contour portions of the teeth, sanding and buffing them to correct a number of cosmetic issues. For example, we can correct overly large teeth, address the appearance of minor chips, and smooth away any pits, grooves, or rough patches in the outer structure. We can also dull any sharp, jagged, or pointed portions of your teeth.
Dental Fillings
If you have tooth decay, then we can use the material to offer a filling that is safe for all ages, and one that looks natural and blends with the tooth and surrounding ones too. The filling can help prevent decay from becoming an infection, sparing you major discomfort or the risk of losing the tooth altogether. If you have any questions about how we offer holistic and lifelike cosmetic treatment with bonding and contouring, then contact our team today to learn more. We want to help you feel confident in your smile when you hit the road for your summer vacation!
