If you have multiple flaws with the beauty of your smile, including teeth stains or even gaps between your teeth, then we could help in only one visit. With tooth bonding and other cosmetic treatments, we can mask major issues in only one sitting. In today’s blog, your Lake Orion, MI, dentist talks about bonding and contouring treatments!
When You Need Cosmetic Treatment
Do you have concerns with the appearance of your smile? We have treatments designed to address these concerns and improve the appearance of your smile, so you can feel more confident and engaged in social situations! Our team will start with a dental examination, in which we take a close look at your teeth with digital imaging technology to assess the cause and severity of your cosmetic imperfections. We can then create a treatment plan tailored for your smile to bring relief. Every smile is unique, but we are glad to offer cosmetic treatments that are not only effective, but safe and holistic too, using metal-free materials that are safe for all ages.
Tooth Bonding
Tooth bonding is a way to improve the appearance of your smile and even tackle minor restorative issues in only one sitting. The procedure uses the same composite resin that we employ as part of our metal-free fillings, as this composite resin is safe for all age and metal-free. Our team numbs the tooth and then prepares it by cleaning it and etching the outer surfaces, which allows the composite resin to cling to the teeth as it cures. We shade the material for a lifelike appearance and apply it in several layers, sculpting the tooth as the material cures under a light. Finally, we polish the tooth for a brighter appearance.
In only one sitting, we can mask teeth stains too severe for whitening, and even fill in gaps between the teeth. Place can help repair minor chips and cracks, add length to worn down teeth, and provide treatment for misshapen ones too.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Do you have stained teeth? We could brighten your smile in only one visit with our in-office teeth whitening treatment. With this option, we will apply a protective coating on your lips and gums, and then apply a powerful bleaching gel to the surfaces of your teeth. We then use a light to activate the gel and break up teeth stains, so you have a brighter smile. In one visit, you can see major results!
Gum Contouring
What about your gums? If you have gummy smiles that show off too much gum, or if the poor symmetry in your gumline impacts the appearance of your teeth, we can reshape the area with laser technology. This is a safe and gentle approach that doesn’t require scalpels or sutures. The repair takes one visit and you can return to your normal routine after only a day or two of rest. With the dental laser, we gently reshape the gum line and remove excess tissues, so you see immediate results. Then lasers also help prevent infections, swelling, and bleeding, and the process is comfortable and rarely requires the use of dental anesthesia at all.
Contouring Your Tooth
Finally, we have another same-day cosmetic treatment in the form of dental contouring. With this option, we don’t add new structure to the teeth. Instead, we simply sand and buff the outer structure to reshape them and correct minor cosmetic issues in one sitting. For example, we can smooth away the grooves, pits, and even rough patches in the outer structure. Our team can dull sharp, jagged, or pointed portions of your teeth. Contouring can also address the appearance of chipped teeth and reshape misshapen or overly large teeth too, all in only one visit.
