What Is Dental Bonding and Contouring?
Accidents are an inevitable part of life, and they can sometimes impact your smile. For instance, a misstep could result in a chipped tooth or certain conditions may cause a tooth to discolor over time. Dental bonding and contouring at 5 Star Dental Group offers a simple yet effective way to address minor cosmetic imperfections. Using a material known as composite bonding, this process can fill gaps, correct discoloration, and even reshape a tooth for a more balanced appearance. If you need to cover up a chip or reshape a tooth, schedule a consultation with our team in San Antonio, TX to explore how dental bonding and contouring can provide a great way to regain confidence in your smile.
How Does Dental Bonding and Contouring Work?
In many cases, dental bonding and contouring is completed in a single visit. Unlike some treatments, dental bonding for gaps and other minor adjustments usually don't require anesthesia so you can sit back comfortably throughout the process. If you experience dental anxiety or have a sensitive gag reflex, our dental team can discuss sedation options to make your visit as smooth as possible. The procedure begins with preparing the tooth's surface before the composite bonding material is applied and molded to the area. The material is cured and hardened using a special light, setting the resin in place. Additional layers may be added to create the perfect shape and color match. After the material sets, our team will shape and polish the composite and your natural enamel for a seamless finish. With dental contouring and reshaping, a small amount of enamel may be gently removed to improve the shape and contour of the tooth, resulting in a balanced look and a more appealing smile.
