Do you know what to expect once you arrive home after your dental bonding and contouring treatment? Whether you choose one or the other – or both – your smile will look beautifully transformed (which is certainly to be expected). However, when it comes to details like how your smile is going to feel or what you need to do to keep it looking gorgeous, you may find yourself somewhat uncertain about the right answers to these types of concerns. Allow us to alleviate your worries and offer some clarification, so you can enjoy your smile without distraction.

Your Teeth Will Feel … Strange (For A Little Bit)

Your smile is not going to feel like it did when you get home. You just received dental bonding and contouring, which may change the shape, length, width, and even texture of your teeth. When you run your tongue over your smile – when you eat – and even when you speak, you may notice a slight change. Fortunately, just as quickly as we transformed your smile, you will adapt to the adjustments and will no longer recognize the change.

Your Care Should Remain The Same

We say your care should remain the same because we are assuming that you have been providing yourself with excellent dental hygiene. However, if your hygiene needs some improvement, we suggest you make any necessary changes. To keep up with the usually recommended method for maintaining a clean smile, you will need to do the following for your grin after your dental bonding and contouring:

  • Brush your smile two times (every single day) – make sure you are using a brush with soft (not medium or hard) bristles as well as smooth toothpaste free of abrasive particles
  • Floss your full smile every single day
