Ways Cosmetic Bonding and Contouring Can Help Reshape Your Smile

A distinctive and unique smile is one of the many things that sets us apart as individuals. But the truth is that most people admit to wishing they could change something about their smile, whether it's the color, size, or shape of their teeth. Even if your teeth are perfectly healthy and look good enough when you smile for pictures, there may still be something that you would like to change in order to look and feel your best. Dr. James Zimmerman, a dentist in Woodland, CA, offers cosmetic bonding and contouring for common cosmetic dental issues like stains and discolorations, chipped or cracked teeth, or size and spacing issues.

Cosmetic contouring and bonding is an affordable, efficient, and minimally invasive way to reshape damaged teeth. The contouring process, which, like bonding, can often be completed in a single visit and involves gently removing the enamel layer of the damaged tooth, which is then gently reshaped. Cosmetic dental contouring can fix teeth that are too long, too short, misaligned, or crooked (significant spacing, bite, or alignment problems may require orthodontic treatment).

Cosmetic bonding can be used in conjunction with contouring, or as a stand-alone treatment for mild to moderate chips, cracks, stains, and discolorations. A resin material made of a combination of glass, plastic, or porcelain is bonded onto the surface of the tooth. Bonding can drastically improve the function and cosmetic appearance of your teeth, making them whiter, straighter and more symmetrical, without the need to invest in more expensive and time-consuming dental treatments. With proper at home oral hygiene care and regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and professional dental cleanings, bonding, and cosmetic contouring can deliver lasting results.
