Discover simple cosmetic treatments you can get to enhance your smile for the better.

We know that everyone wants to have a perfect smile but sometimes little imperfections keep us from being happy with the smiles we have. If small chips, cracks or discolorations are bugging you then you may be wondering how our Baltimore cosmetic dentists Dr. James Delaney, Jr. and Dr. Melanie Burke can help you.

Dental Bonding

Do you deal with small cosmetic flaws in one or more teeth? Do minimal discolorations, cracks, chips or even misshapenness keep you from having that perfect smile? If so, dental bonding may be the simple technique you need to get the results you want. Dental bonding uses composite resin, a moldable tooth-colored material that can be applied to the tooth and shaped over these imperfections.

Bonding is the least expensive cosmetic treatment you can get and it can be a great option for those who want to fix minimal issues but don’t want to turn to more serious dental commitments like veneers. Plus, bonding is completely non-invasive and painless. Our Baltimore dentists will choose the proper shade for your bonding resin, apply and shape it over the tooth and then harden it into place with a special curing light. That’s all there is to it!

Dental Contouring

Also referred to as dental reshaping, this cosmetic treatment often goes hand in hand with dental bonding since they complement each other well. Sometimes you have a small chip in a tooth or you have a tooth that is perhaps a bit longer and out of proportion with the rest of your smile.

When this happens, it might be time to consider dental contouring, in which we painlessly shave off small amounts of enamel to reshape and improve the look of one or more teeth. If you are dealing with oddly shaped or excessively pointy teeth, this might just be what you’ve been looking for to give your smile the subtle boost it needs.

Whether you have questions about getting dental bonding or you want to find out if you are an ideal candidate, call our Baltimore dental office today to learn more. We are here to give you a smile you’ll be proud of.
