Sculpting And Shaping Your Smile In One Visit

What about misshapen ones, or minor damage? To sculpt and reshape teeth in only one visit, your Woodland Hills, CA, dentist may suggest dental bonding and contouring!

Your Initial Cosmetic Consultation

The process starts with an initial consultation. During this visit, we will talk about what you hope to see accomplished for your smile, and we will examine your teeth and gums with advanced digital technology. We want to create a clear picture of your oral health, and identify the factors behind your cosmetic issues. From there, we will craft a treatment plan to improve the color and shape of your teeth. With cosmetic dentistry, we can even transform the appearance of your smile in only a single visit!

Dental Bonding

The dental bonding process could be used to repair minor chips and cracks, lengthen worn down teeth, and even reshape malformed teeth! The procedure could be used to mask permanent teeth stains, the kind that would not otherwise respond to most whitening treatments. If you have embarrassing gaps between teeth, or even those black triangle spaces, we can fill them.

The procedure involves carefully removing any decay from the tooth and then cleaning it. We may etch the surfaces too. We then prepare the composite resin material, a metal-free mixture of glass and acrylic that we color-match to blend with your tooth. We then apply the material in several layers, and then shape the tooth as we cure the composite resin under a light. Finally, we then polish the tooth for a more lifelike look, all in one visit!

Dental Contouring

In the same visit, or a separate one, our team could also contour your teeth. Instead of adding unique materials to the tooth, we actually remove structure from them through sanding and buffing to improve overall esthetics. We could remove unsightly pits, grooves, and rough patches in the surfaces, reshape overly large or malformed teeth, and repair minor chips. We could also dull sharp or pointed teeth too! If you have any questions about how we offer cosmetic repair in only one visit, or if you would like to schedule a consultation, then contact our team today.
