While taking care of your smile is the most important factor to consider when maintaining a lifelong bill of health, this does not detract from the need to care for your grin in a cosmetic capacity. Indeed, feeling comfortable and confident in your smile’s appearance can go a long way, and a bright and vibrant grin can communicate a number of important things about your temperament and view of life. In today’s blog, your Conroe, TX dentist discusses the ways surface-level cracks and chips can influence how you feel about your oral appearance, as well as how bonding and contouring can help.
Determining Damage Severity
It goes without saying that when it comes to your oral health, preventive dentistry is the name of the game. Indeed, there are several factors out there that influence your oral health on a daily basis, and unfortunately, not nearly as many natural defenses. As such, experiencing discoloration, surface-level damage, and even infection is not that far off from reality.
Still, just because your health should take priority over your appearance does not mean that you must ignore cosmetic concerns entirely. Take, for example, enduring a cracked tooth. In the worst of cases, you need to have it checked out as a dental emergency. When damage is surface-level, however, you may be better off looking at cosmetic treatment.
Once you have gotten the clear from your dentist that a chip or crack is only surface-level, you can pursue cosmetic treatment to address your needs. In fact, no treatment is better suited for a chip or crack than that of bonding and contouring. Contact our team today to learn more about your treatment options.
Understanding Dental Bonding
There are several types of cosmetic treatment out there that can be pursued to address a wide array of cosmetic concerns. When it comes to a chip or crack, however, none is better suited than bonding and contouring.
You see, this process involves applying a composite resin material to the affected area, then shaping or contouring that material to closely mimic the natural shape and texture of your tooth. For more information about this process and how to get started, give our team a call today.
Shaping Your Enhancement Appropriately
When contouring your tooth, we take care to closely mimic the natural textures of your structure. What’s more? We also can provide a highly realistic or lifelike finish, as the composite material can be shade-matched to the natural hue of your smile. Once this step has been completed, we utilize a special light to cure it, and then you will be on your way.
