Teeth whitening is a popular way to improve the vibrancy of your smile. This method helps break down stains on the surface of your teeth. However, some forms of discoloration may occur below the enamel. In this situation, you may need to seek other ways to correct these imperfections. Riverside Dental Group in California knows that all patients have unique needs, which is why they offer various cosmetic services. If your teeth do not respond to a brightening treatment, cosmetic bonding may be an effective alternative.
Exploring The Benefits Of Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is a minimally invasive way to address imperfections throughout your smile. This can be used to disguise discoloration, misshapen teeth, minor chips, and many other concerns. You can choose to have this done on its own or pair it with contouring to reshape jagged, pointy, or long teeth. Your dentist may recommend having this done instead of a whitening treatment if the stains on your teeth appear to be below the surface level. If your pearly whites have yellowed over time, it could be due to external factors. If there are discolored spots, it could be due to trauma, genetics, or other internal reasons.
Composite resin will be added to areas that have blemishes. We use composite resin because it is lifelike, durable, and can be easily bonded to any area. One great advantage of this material is that it is highly versatile. It can be used for cosmetic reasons or restorations like fillings.
How Bonding And Contouring Differ From Veneers
Porcelain veneers are another popular cosmetic service. With this, porcelain shells will be secured to the front of your teeth. This leaves you with an even-appearing smile and can last for several years. Before having the shells placed, a small amount of your tooth’s structure will need to be removed so that the porcelain can fit snuggly. The preparation process for veneers involves removing a more significant amount of your tooth. With contouring, only the overlapping or uneven part of your structure will be reshaped to help even out your smile.
Veneers use porcelain shells to disguise the appearance of imperfections. These shells can help your grin appear more vibrant and uniform. Bonding can also help minimize the appearance of flaws with composite resin. You can discuss these options with your dentist to determine which one is most suitable for your goals.
