What is the Contouring and Reshaping Process in Lewiston ME?

We start with an in-depth consultation, examining the total state of your dental health, then and only then we begin a process that starts with a thorough teeth cleaning. Next, we color match the materials to your teeth, then hold it in place. Once it cures, we shape each treated tooth, clean and polish them.

When time counts, count on us. We are experts in dental bonding and most treatments can be carried out during a single appointment, which you’ll leave with a big smile and increased confidence. In addition to the conditions listed above, dental bonding can help with teeth of varying lengths, teeth shaped incorrectly, and recessed gums. Here's a detailed look at the 3-step process:

• Step 1: First, your Aspire Family Dentistry dentist will perform an initial exam and consultation and will likely need to take x-rays to get a true picture of the issue. After making sure the tooth and/or teeth are healthy and capable of sustaining the procedure.
• Step 2: We’ll schedule it and get to work on your smile! FYI: Pain medication and numbing agents usually aren’t required for tooth contouring and reshaping, depending on the severity of your dental health situation.
• Step 3: Tooth contouring and reshaping are often performed along with dental bonding. We will determine if Dental Bonding is right for your path to your perfect smile.
