When you have teeth that have been chipped, we could repair them in one visit with cosmetic treatment. Tooth bonding can reshape smiles, and also take on several common cosmetic imperfections too. In today’s blog, your team at Lake Orion Family Dentistry in Lake Orion, MI, talks about repairing teeth with cosmetic bonding!
The Dangers of a Chipped Tooth
When a tooth is chipped or broken, then you need repair. Otherwise, even minor injuries could leave your tooth more vulnerable to issues like tooth decay and even dental infection. But we can help in one visit with cosmetic dentistry! Tooth bonding allows our team to repair a tooth with the same lifelike and metal-free composite resin we use in a dental filling. Our team can also offer this improvement in only one sitting.
Tooth Bonding
With tooth bonding, we can take on esthetic issues in one sitting, and also provide repair for minor injuries. The process involves our team numbing the tooth and then gently cleaning it, removing any decay and etching the outer surface too. We then prepare and place the composite resin material, a blend of metal-free glass-like and acrylic particles. This bonds with the tooth, and we will cure the material with a light. The final step is to polish the tooth for a brighter smile.
We can use this procedure to repair cracked or chipped teeth, mask teeth stains, fill open spaces between the teeth, and even correct misshapen teeth. We can also lengthen worn-down tooth structures too!
Helping Smiles with Dental Contouring
We could also reshape your teeth and correct minor esthetic concerns in one visit with dental contouring. With the contouring procedure, we take a different approach. We don’t add new materials to the tooth, and instead gently sand and buff the outer structure to correct your oral health issues. For example, with contouring we can smooth away pits, grooves, and rough patches in the teeth. Our team can also correct portions that are sharp, jagged, or pointed, and even address minor chips or overly large teeth, all in one visit.
If you have any questions about how we help smiles with cosmetic dentistry in only one visit, or if you are ready to try bonding and contouring for your smile, then contact our team today to learn more and get started. We want to help you enjoy a beautiful smile again, one that looks good and helps restore your smile to optimal health and function too.
