01 Dec Dental Bonding Repairs Teeth Same-Day
Dental bonding can provide cosmetic improvement for multiple imperfections in your smile, from teeth stains to gaps in your smile. Not only that, this cosmetic treatment can offer these improvements in only one visit. Our Lancaster, OH, dental team can provide cosmetic treatment in one visit with dental bonding.
The Improvements Offered by Dental Bonding
Dental bonding uses the same composite resin material that we employ to treat tooth decay. This material is made from a blend of acrylic-like and glass-like particles. Which means there is no metal, so it’s safe for patients of all ages. The material is biocompatible and bonds with the tooth structure. We can also shade it to blend with the tooth structure and offer a lifelike appearance, so you can smile with confidence after we correct your imperfections. Our team can use the procedure to repair minor chips and cracks, mask permanent teeth stains, fill gaps between the teeth, lengthen worn down teeth, and correct misshapen structures too.
The Bonding Procedure
Like dental filling placement, this procedure only takes one visit to complete. Our team will start by numbing your tooth so you’re comfortable as we remove any decay and clean the tooth, before we gently etch the outer surfaces to help the material better cling to it as the composite resin cures. We then prepare the material and shade to blend with your tooth. We then apply it in several layers. As the composite resin is cured beneath a special light, we will sculpt and mold the tooth. Finally, we polish it for a brighter appearance. The entire process takes only one visit, so you leave with a more attractive smile in one sitting!
Dental Contouring
As part of the same visit or in a separate one, we can also contour the teeth to address minor cosmetic concerns. With contouring, our team will gently sand and buff the outer structure to remove cosmetic imperfections. For example, we can correct the appearance of minor chips, reshape overly large or malformed teeth, and dull sharp, pointed or jagged portions of outer structure. We can also smooth out any pits, grooves, and rough patches in the tooth.
If you have issues with the appearance of your smile, then contact our team today to schedule a consultation. We would love the chance to examine your smile and find the best cosmetic treatments for your concerns, so you can smile with comfort. We have bonding, contouring, and also teeth whitening and even porcelain veneers.
