Cosmetic contouring is a treatment method performed by applying a special resin material to the surface of the teeth in order to improve dental aesthetics. Also known as bonding, this process is frequently preferred to correct the color, shape and size of the teeth, to cover cavities or to fill the gaps between the teeth. It usually aims to eliminate small defects in the teeth and offers a fast, painless solution.
Cosmetic contouring is a treatment method that improves the appearance of teeth with a composite filling material applied to the surface of the teeth. This special tooth-colored resin is added layer by layer to the surface of the tooth and shaped to match the form of the natural tooth. It is then hardened and fixed with a special light. Bonding is used to correct tooth color, shape, size and overall aesthetics.
Bonding can be suitable for anyone who has minor cosmetic issues with their teeth. It is an ideal option especially for individuals who have gaps between their teeth, small cracks or fractures, are unhappy with the color of their teeth, or have minor deformities in their teeth. Bonding is also suitable for individuals looking for minimally invasive solutions that do not require major changes to their teeth structure.
One of the biggest advantages of the bonding process is that it is a fast and minimally invasive method. It is usually completed in a single session and is applied without damaging the natural structure of the tooth. The fact that anesthesia is not required during the procedure increases the comfort of many patients. In addition, since the bonding material is tooth-colored, it provides a very natural and aesthetic appearance. Sensitivity in the teeth after treatment is rare.
The bonding process begins with cleaning the tooth surface. Then, the tooth surface is slightly roughened to ensure better adhesion of the bonding material. Your dentist selects a composite resin that matches your tooth color and this material is applied layer by layer to the tooth. Once the shaping process is complete, the resin is hardened with a special light. Finally, the polishing process is performed to give the teeth a shiny and smooth appearance.
Bonding can usually last for 5-10 years, depending on proper care and oral hygiene. However, it is recommended that you have regular dental checkups and avoid hard foods to protect your teeth.
The bonding process is usually painless. Anesthesia may not be required during the procedure because it is applied to the surface of the tooth and does not directly interfere with the nerves of the tooth. However, in some cases, your dentist may prefer to use anesthesia if there is sensitivity.
Bonding improves the color of your teeth, but it is not a direct teeth whitening process. If you want to whiten your teeth, it is recommended that you have a bleaching process done before bonding. This way, the bonding material will better reflect the new color of your teeth.
It is recommended to avoid hard foods and dark-colored beverages (such as caffeine and red wine) for the first 24 hours after bonding. Also, being gentle when brushing and flossing your teeth can extend the life of the procedure.
The application usually takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour. The application time may vary depending on the number of teeth treated and the complexity of the procedure. Your dentist will inform you to complete the process in the most efficient way. However, it can be easily said that you will have a more attractive smile in a short time.
