It can be frustrating to feel people hone in on a tooth that is chipped, cracked, or discolored by a physical injury. When an injury is a prominent place, it can be difficult to hide even if the damage is modest. The good news is that a conservative tooth bonding procedure can resolve this problem! At our Riverside, CA dental practice, we can evaluate the tooth and determine if this cosmetic dental procedure is right for you. If it is, we can improve your smile by covering flaws without using a custom dental restoration. If necessary, we can recommend another treatment option that will provide a sustained improvement.

Are You Bothered By A Damaged, Discolored, Or Misshapen Tooth?

Injuries and general issues with tooth shape and size can leave you feeling self-conscious about your smile. Symmetry is an important feature, one that can have a significant impact on the overall assessments people make of others’ smiles. If you have a single flaw, it can do more than just draw unwanted attention. That flaw can throw off your smile symmetry, leading to a larger issue, one that is difficult to keep hidden.

How Tooth Bonding And Contouring Services Make Positive Changes

Rather than capping a tooth with a dental veneer or dental crown, we can perform tooth bonding and contouring work to hide issues that affect your appearance. The contouring process changes the shape and size of a tooth to make it fit in better with your overall smile. The bonding procedure covers up chips and cracks as well as discoloration. It can also help by reshaping your tooth and positively changing your appearance. In some cases, we can even use this service to hide minor alignment issues!

Discussing Other Cosmetic Services

While porcelain veneers require more preparatory work, they do offer more durability, which will make preserving your smile changes easier. After your tooth is properly measured and prepared, we can place a custom veneer on it to hide problems with the shape, size, and color of that tooth. When necessary, we are able to improve both your smile and oral health by restoring a flawed tooth with a lifelike dental crown!
