Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about teeth whitening. We also have treatments to address misshapen teeth and other issues related to the shape or surface of your smile. In today’s blog, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist talks about how we can transform the appearance of your smile in one visit with bonding and contouring.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
To start your cosmetic journey, you will first need to schedule a visit with our team. This visit will involve taking a close look at your smile to assess the cause and extent of your misalignment. Our team can then choose the most appropriate treatment option to address your cosmetic concerns. If you schedule a visit soon, you can have a chance to use your 2922 dental insurance benefits above they expire at the close of December.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding corrects multiple cosmetic issues at once. We use the same composite resin employed in our tooth-colored fillings to accomplish this. This blend of glass-like and acrylic materials can be shaded to blend with your tooth and the rest of your smile, and is safe for all ages. Placement is simple. We will first remove any decay, then clean your tooth and etch the surface. We apply the color matched material in several layers, and then mold it as we cure the composite resin beneath a special light. Finally, we polish the tooth for a brighter appearance. The entire process only takes one visit!
We can use bonding to repair minor chips and cracks, or to correct malformed teeth and close embarrassing gaps between them. Our team can mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that may not respond to teeth whitening. In addition, we can lengthen worn down teeth as well!
Dental Contouring
In the same visit, our team can also conduct a contouring procedure. Wirth contouring, we smooth out pits, grooves, and rough patches in the smile. We do so by sanding and buffing the outer structure. Our team can also address minor chips, misshapen or overly large teeth, and sharp, pointed, or jagged tooth structure too. For a smile makeover, we could combine these two with professional teeth whitening or even porcelain veneers. If you want to see dramatic results, then get started by scheduling a cosmetic consultation with our team soon. We look forward to seeing you and helping you enjoy optimal oral health and a stunning new smile, all in one visit.
