How Tooth Bonding And Contouring Changes Your Smile

Are you currently comfortable with your smile, or are there certain flaws that make you less than happy with your appearance? If you are someone who wishes they could make changes to the way they look, but feel intimidated by the idea of cosmetic dental work, consider the benefits of tooth bonding and contouring work. At our St. Louis, MO dentist’s office, we can make careful, conservative changes that produce improvements while minimizing the actual changes to your tooth structure. The contouring process corrects problems with uneven teeth, or teeth that are too large. A bonding treatment will improve the color, shape, and size of teeth without placing permanent restorations.

A Conservative Treatment To Change The Shape, Size, And Color Of Your Teeth

Because no restorations are used, and changes to your tooth structure are minimized, a tooth bonding and contouring procedure can be ideal for people who are unsure they are ready to commit to cosmetic work. While the work itself is surprisingly conservative, it can deliver many exciting improvements. Through this one procedure, which can be completed in a single appointment, we can give you a more attractive and symmetrical smile by targeting problems with tooth shape, size, and color!

How Tooth Bonding And Contouring Work Produces Positive Changes

The contouring process reshapes teeth that are too large, or those that appear uneven. Dr. Johnson-G’Sell can make sure that any teeth that seem to be out of place are carefully restored so that you have a more symmetrical appearance. Through bonding treatment, we can restore teeth that are chipped or cracked, appear discolored, or look out of place because of their small size. Rather than cap a tooth with a porcelain veneer or dental crown, we use a composite resin substance we can permanently affix to your enamel.

Other Cosmetic Services That Can Benefit You

While tooth bonding and contouring can help with many problems and only requires conservative changes, it is not the procedure every patient selects. We offer multiple services for patients who want to change the way they look. If your concern is with tooth spacing and alignment, we can use Invisalign aligners to carefully improve tooth placement. Although treatment with porcelain veneers calls for more changes to tooth structure and can take more time, veneers do offer a more durable solution, which can make preserving your appearance after a procedure easier.
