Dental Bonding and Contouring in Plano, TX

An accident can happen at any time. You could take a bad fall and chip a tooth. Sometimes a tooth can get discolored from the food you eat, certain medications, or illness, such as a medication or illness that affects tooth enamel and dentin. General and cosmetic dentists Dr. Chris and Dr. Matt provide dental bonding and contouring to fix certain cosmetic flaws at their dental practice in Plano, TX. A fast, effective cosmetic treatment, dental bonding and contouring via composite resin (the same material used for tooth-colored fillings) will cover tooth discoloration, reduce gaps in your teeth, make a tooth longer, or even change the shape of a tooth. If you want a great way to improve your smile, make an appointment to learn more about bonding and contouring treatments at Miller & Miller Dentistry.

Cosmetic bonding and contouring can fill cracks, gaps, chips, improve length, discoloration, and other minor cosmetic flaws. Bonding and contouring is an affordable cosmetic treatment and can often be completed in a single visit. Candidates for bonding and contouring have very minor, superficial flaws that will not require a substantial restorative treatment. If you require more extensive changes, another cosmetic or restorative procedure should be considered. During your appointment, Dr. Chris or Dr. Matt will listen to your goals and then go over your cosmetic dentistry options.

Dental bonding and contouring services are generally completed in one visit. Once you are comfortable, your dentist will begin applying the composite resin to the needed teeth with the assistance of one of his team members. The resin will be hardened with a special light before more layers are added. Once the bonding process is complete, we then will contour and polish the material and your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.

After you've had dental bonding and contouring, you should avoid teeth-discoloring food and beverages. The composite resin can chip and stain, so don’t bite down on hard objects such as ice cubes, hard candy, fingernails, or pens. Bonded and contoured teeth should be cleaned like regular teeth with regular flossing and brushing. Bi-annual cleanings at Miller & Miller Dentistry will help to maintain a healthy smile with your new composits. With ideal care, dental bonding can last up to ten years. During your annual dental exam, Dr. Chris or Dr. Matt will help you decide if the cosmetic bonding and contouring procedure needs to be re-done to refresh your appearance.

Cosmetic bonding and contouring can be an impressive treatment if you want to correct your smile without the expense and time needed for other cosmetic choices.
