Stains, discoloration, and other blemishes on your pearly whites can cause you to feel less confident in your smile. With so many cosmetic treatments available, it may feel overwhelming finding the right one for your needs. Your team at Pacific Hills Dental in Omaha, NE, offers options from professional teeth whitening to veneers, so your smile goals can be met. For patients who want a more conservative or simple treatment, our bonding and contouring treatments might be the optimal solution. In our blog today, we’re here to talk about the benefits of these treatments.
Conceal Blemishes With Composite Resin
One of the most common complaints that patients have with the appearance of their smiles is discoloration or stains. In some cases, we may be able to break these stains down with a professional whitening treatment to create a more vibrant appearance. However, if these blemishes occur below the enamel due to injuries, medications, or health conditions, they cannot be removed. We may be able to conceal these imperfections with a bonding treatment by adding composite resin to the areas. This may be done to improve the appearance of stains, spots, misshapen teeth, chips, and more.
Gently Reshape Your Smile With Contouring
Clear aligners are available for patients who need to correct poorly spaced teeth, but what options are available if you only have minor changes like overlapping or jagged edges that you would like to correct? Our team can perform tooth contouring to gently remove a small amount of your dental structure and create a more balanced smile. This procedure can be done in one day and can be paired with cosmetic bonding to achieve an even and blemish-free smile. In addition to the cosmetic benefits of contouring, this service can protect your teeth from becoming damaged from injury and decay.
Ways To Address Damage To Your Teeth
If you have had a cavity before, you may be familiar with composite resin. We use this material to restore your tooth after decay and it can also be used for cosmetic purposes such as bonding. Although this material is highly versatile, there are some circumstances where you will need additional restorations before correcting imperfections throughout your smile. For instance, if you have fractured one of your pearly whites, composite resin may not be able to fix this damage. Instead, a dental crown can be used to cap the area and add further protection. When you come in for your cosmetic consultation, we can discuss what treatments may be necessary before making visual improvements.
