Cosmetic bonding and shaping is a customizable way to reshape, restore, and fill in chips and cracks in your teeth. Minor concerns with your teeth are usually the result of regular wear throughout your life, but they can also be caused by injuries or other dental concerns. No matter the cause, it’s normal to feel like your smile isn’t what you want it to be.
Bonding and shaping are two different treatment options. Dental bonding is a process of applying a bonding resin to the tooth to sculpt a new shape or surface. It can be used for minor restorations and repairs like chips and cracks so your teeth look whole and smooth. Enamel shaping is a treatment that can reshape and recontour your existing teeth if you have uneven edges, rough chips, or undesirable proportions. Both of these options can be used in a combination approach or separately based on your cosmetic goals.
Even if your teeth are healthy and bright, the shape and profile of your teeth can still cause you to feel self-conscious about your smile. At Uno Dental, we can create a customized approach using our best treatment options to help you love your smile again. With some of the highest quality care in the San Francisco area, we hope you love your experience with Dr. Kandar at our luxurious practice.
Why Choose Bonding and Shaping at Uno Dental San Francisco?
Minor cracks and chips in your teeth can have a variety of causes, but it’s normal to want to fix them. If the appearance of your teeth bothers you, then bonding and shaping can be a great way to put the finishing touches on your teeth. This treatment option doesn’t last as long as veneers, but it can be an effective way to restore the function and appearance of your teeth in areas that you feel self-conscious about.
When looking at your options for bonding and shaping, it’s important to find an experienced, board certified dentist. Bonding and shaping require an artistic eye and a careful approach for best results. At Uno Dental, our goal is providing quality, customized care along with a pampered experience you’ll find only in San Francisco.
What Can I Expect During Bonding and Shaping Treatment?
Your first step in your smile makeover is meeting with Dr. Kandar to talk about your goals and create a customized treatment plan. Dr. Kandar will assess your teeth and scans for any health concerns that should be addressed first. During your bonding and shaping appointment, you’ll relax in our luxurious office so you’re comfortable.
During a bonding treatment, Dr. Kandar will apply a specialized solution to the teeth. This helps the bond adhere more effectively. Then, a dental bonding resin that matches your natural tooth color is selected and applied. From there, it can be reshaped and sculpted into the shape needed. Finally, the resin is cured with a specialized light to harden and seal it.
Enamel shaping can be performed without local anesthetic. During this treatment, Dr. Kandar will use specialized tools and techniques to remove small amounts of enamel to reshape each tooth according to your goals.
How Can I Get the Best Results from My Bonding and Shaping Treatment?
It’s important to know that bonding and shaping treatments will require some ongoing care from your dentist, so maintaining good dental care habits is key. This means brushing twice daily, flossing once per day, and cutting back on sugar. You should also see Dr. Kandar regularly to make sure your treatment remains effective and to make sure there are no problems with your oral health. As always, our cosmetic dentistry team is here to make sure you get the most out of your smile makeover with our industry-leading treatments.
