Enhance your smile with teeth bonding
Dental bonding is a great option for fixing chipped teeth, broken teeth, large gaps between teeth, or severe discoloration. It is a cost-effective solution that involves applying composite resin to the tooth to repair or enhance its appearance. This procedure is quick and can be completed in just one visit, unlike other treatments that may require multiple appointments. The composite resin bonds to the tooth, providing a durable and natural-looking result.
What is the process of dental bonding?
Treatment can typically be finished in a single visit, but the number of visits and length of treatment may vary based on the amount of work needed and the number of teeth involved. During the procedure, a dental professional will roughen the tooth surface before applying resin to ensure a secure bond. The resin is then shaped, smoothed, and hardened using ultraviolet light or a laser. Finally, the bonding is finished and polished to achieve the desired shape and result.
Who can take advantage of Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental treatment that can help individuals with aesthetic concerns related to one or more teeth. It is a great option for patients dealing with:
- Discoloration: For patients with severely discolored teeth that cannot be improved with whitening treatments.
- Chipped or broken teeth: For patients dealing with chipped teeth.
- Gaps between the teeth: For patients with gaps or spacing issues between their teeth.
- Short or misshaped teeth: For patients looking to lengthen or alter the shape of their teeth.
Dental bonding is a more affordable and quicker alternative to porcelain veneers. However, one downside is that the composite resin used in bonding can be more prone to staining. We advise patients with dental bonding to avoid smoking and to be cautious when consuming foods and beverages that can cause staining.
