In fact, even though they shouldn’t, many people will put off visiting the dentist when suffering from minor aches and pains. Few people, however, will wait to book an appointment should something have happened which has altered the visible appearance of their teeth. Sadly, not everyone was born with perfect teeth. In like regard, some people suffer from jagged and crooked teeth, while even the most perfect teeth can have their appearance adversely affected by chips and breaks as we get older.
Thankfully, composite bonding, also known as dental cosmetic bonding, tooth reshaping or enamel re-contouring, is an easy and effective way to help improve the overall appearance of teeth for a variety of reasons. If you suffer from chips or breaks in your teeth which you feel impact your overall appearance, enamel re-contouring could help. This is because the procedure can be used to change tooth length, shapes, and surface textures, in order to promote a more harmonious visual appearance. Even better, results can be seen immediately and enamel re-contouring is both quick and completely painless.
While composite bonding is an easy and quick way to permanently enhance the uniform appearance of teeth, the procedure isn’t perfect for everyone. Deep chips or thin enamel which is already close to the inner nerves of a tooth, will mean that you might be better suited for veneers or dental bonding. This is why at Sloan Dental, we will carry out a thorough assessment of your teeth prior to re-contouring, in order to assess your suitability for the procedure in the first place.
Thankfully, if we feel that composite bonding could be of benefit to you, we will be able to reshape and refine the appearance of your teeth in just a single appointment. This being the case if you feel that enamel re-contouring might be right for you, make sure to reach out to your nearest Sloan Dental surgery today in order to book an appointment.
