Cosmetic Dentistry

Cosmetic bonding

Cosmetic tooth bonding is a quick and easy treatment for patients who have minor cosmetic and functional issues. We can complete the cosmetic teeth bonding procedures in a single office visit.

Dental boding uses a tooth-colored, biocompatible composite resin to hide flaws in the teeth. The resin is applied by the dentist directly to the tooth and sculpted into the proper shape and form, then cured using a special light. Dental bonding may also be used in combination with other cosmetic dentistry procedures and as part of a smile design.

Composite dental bonding is commonly used to treat:

Chipped or cracked teeth
Gaps between teeth
Discolored tooth structure
Fill dental cavities
Misshapen teeth
Short, stubby teeth to make teeth appear longer

Dr. Sprowls uses composite dental bonding as a conservative treatment for patients. The process is very similar to a resin dental filling. Composite bonding does not remove any of the tooth’s natural structure as happens in porcelain veneers or dental crowns.

While dental composites are extremely durable, they are not permanent and may need to be retouched or replaced in the future. Porcelain restorations such as dental crowns or porcelain veneers are permanent and much longer lasting. Dental composites may also be more susceptible to staining from foods and beverages, so special care should be taken to ensure long term success.

ABOUT THE COSMETIC BONDING PROCEDURE

Cosmetic teeth bonding is typically completed during a single visit to our Centerville dentist office and takes less than an hour to complete. Dr. Sprowls will select a composite resin color that will closely match the color of your natural teeth for virtually unnoticeable treatment.

Dr. Sprowls will prepare the surface of the tooth (or teeth) to be treated. She will directly apply a tooth-colored, biocompatible composite resin and sculpt it into the desired shape. The tooth-colored resin material is hardened by an ultraviolet light or laser. Once the composite has cured, Dr. Sprowls will trim, shape and polish it to match the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface. Teeth bonding requires the precision and artistic ability since the work is done freehand without the use of molds or impressions.

COST OF TOOTH BONDING

Tooth bonding is often covered by dental insurance when addressing tooth damage or a dental health concern, but is also an alternative to the more expensive option of dental veneers. We will discuss all aspects of your tooth bonding procedure, including cost, prior to your treatment. We accept all dental insurance plans and work with patients to estimate their portion of the total cost.

porcelain veneers

Whether you’re looking for a subtle change or dramatic transformation, porcelain veneers may be the answer. A porcelain veneer is a thin, translucent shell of tooth-like material that is bonded to the front of teeth.

Centerville dentist Dr. Sprowls incorporates porcelain veneers into cosmetic dentistry treatments for patients who want to improve the beauty, health, or function of their teeth. Porcelain veneers may be used to treat a variety of dental health or cosmetic concerns:

Diastemas (spaces between teeth)
Chipped or broken teeth
Discolored teeth that can’t be bleached
Uneven or crooked teeth

PORCELAIN VENEERS: WHAT TO EXPECT

The process for porcelain veneers is fairly simple. Here is what you might expect:

Initial Consultation & Examination – Regardless of your treatment, you will receive a comprehensive consultation and examination with Dr. Sprowls. During this visit, she will inspect your teeth, gums and mouth and determine if porcelain veneers are right for you. Next, she will map out a customized treatment plan to meet your cosmetic goals as well as address your health concerns.
Tooth Preparation– Dr. Sprowls will begin treatment by preparing the teeth for the porcelain veneers. In most cases, this involves removing a small amount of the natural tooth structure to allow room for the porcelain veneers in your mouth. Dr. Sprowls will take impressions of your teeth that will be sent to a dental laboratory where the permanent porcelain veneers will be made.Typically, temporary dental veneers are placed over the teeth for protection and esthetics. Temporary dental veneers are made of plastic and temporarily sealed to the front of the teeth. These are typically worn for 2 – 3 weeks while the permanent dental veneers are being fabricated at the laboratory.
Final Fit & Restoration – When the porcelain veneers arrive from the laboratory, Dr. Sprowls will try them on to check their fit, shape and color. She will make any minor adjustments that might be needed before permanently bonding the porcelain veneers to the teeth.
After Care – Porcelain veneers require some special care. Dr. Sprowls will review instructions with you and show you how to floss and brush the dental veneers. Routine dental cleanings and examinations are important to ensure long term health and proper fit. Porcelain veneers are highly stain resistant and will look bright for years to come
