What Bonding And Contouring Provide
Contouring is a process where your dentist removes small amounts of enamel on your tooth, to reshape it. This service can reduce the size of a tooth that is too large, correct a tooth that is misshapen, and can smooth out the damage in a chipped tooth. Dental bonding is a process where your dentist affixes (“bonds”) a special resin material over the enamel of your tooth. By adding this material to your tooth, your dentist can cover chips and cracks, can add size to a smaller tooth, and can cover a gap between teeth. The resin can be customized to match the color of your teeth.
Treating A Damaged Tooth
Cosmetic dental procedures offer a variety of treatment options for flaws in teeth. While bonding and contouring enable your dentist to restore your appearance after you have suffered damage to a tooth, that damage may need treatment for its health. If a crack in your tooth has left the tooth’s pulp exposed, you may need a root canal treatment, as this exposure leaves that tooth vulnerable to infections.
