Staying on top of your smile needs can seem like a daunting task at times. After all, there are several sources of threat and other complications that are constantly coming into contact with your grin, and unfortunately, not nearly as many lines of natural defenses. Indeed, from a severe dental infection to a surface-level stain, there is not much your grin is truly protected from, and it is for this reason we recommend regular routine prevention. In today’s blog, your Cedar Rapids, IA dentist discusses your treatment options for surface-level chips and cracks, as well as what you can expect from cosmetic treatment.
Damage Over Time
It goes without saying that among the various areas of dentistry we can practice, dental prevention is the name of the game when it comes to caring for your grin. This is largely because it is the only form of dentistry that aims to strengthen your natural defenses in order to prevent issue from becoming a problem before they even have an opportunity to do so.
Although prevention is essential to maintain, that does not mean that other forms of dentistry such as cosmetic care must be ignored in totality. As a matter of fact, many people endure surface-level damage over time through the foods and beverages they consume. For example, a morning cup of coffee contributes greatly to stain development, and chipping your tooth is not as seldom a phenomenon as one might expect.
Indeed, the last thing you want is to sport a less-than-stellar grin, and it is for this reason we recommend cosmetic care to enhance your appearance. For more information about this process and what to expect from treatment, give our team a call today.
What to Expect from Treatment
Although teeth whitening can address the average stain, you require something more for surface-level chips and cracks. Indeed, bonding and contouring is an excellent treatment option for situations such as these, and they do not require much more than a single visit.
Dental bonding and contouring consists of applying a composite resin material to the affected area of a tooth, then shaping or contouring that material to closely mimic the natural chape and texture of an oral structure. Once this step has been completed, we will use a special light to cure the material, and then you will be on your way.
Providing Lifelike Results
In addition to mending chips and cracks, bonding and contouring can offer lifelike results through the use of a composite resin material. Indeed, this material can be shade-matched to the natural hue of your grin, thus providing a realistic and virtually seamless finish.
