Answer Key
- True. With contouring, we gently buff away small layers of the outer enamel to reshape and improve the appearance of the tooth. The entire procedure only takes one visit, which works well for people with busy schedules. The procedure can also act as a more affordable alternative to veneers or crowns in some cases.
- True. If you have pits or grooves in the surface of the teeth we can buff them away with this procedure.
- True. We often perform bonding and contouring in the same visit. Bonding also helps reshape teeth. We apply several layers of composite resin after we gently etch the tooth’s surface. The material is then sculpted as it cures under a light. We can use the procedure to repair chipped teeth, mask permanent teeth stains, and even close gaps between the teeth.
