What is Dental Bonding?
For this procedure, our team will apply putty-like, color-matched composite resin directly to your enamel in layers to cover or rebuild any damaged or discolored areas. This is hardened in place with an ultraviolet curing light so that it bonds with your enamel for a beautiful repair that can last 10+ years if cared for correctly.
This can be a versatile way to treat one or more aesthetic concerns, such as:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Stubborn Stains
- Mild gaps
- Worn-down Enamel
- Shortened Teeth
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
Potentially, anyone wanting to fix imperfections in their teeth can benefit from this service, but that doesn’t mean that it’s always the best way to meet everyone’s unique needs. You must consult one of our providers before proceeding so they can examine your condition and address any pre-existing problems, like cavities or gum disease, that might interfere.
Then, we can discuss your concerns and smile goals to provide a customized treatment plan. Dental bonding adheres to your enamel, so it might not be ideal for those with more severe dental damage or decay that has compromised the structure of their teeth. If our team determines you’re not a good candidate for dental bonding, we might recommend another service, such as placing a lifelike dental crown to restore an injured tooth’s appearance and function.
The Benefits of Dental Bonding
There are several advantages of enhancing your smile with dental bonding, including:
- One or more issues can be addressed with this treatment.
- Lifelike appearance. The materials can be customized to resemble your natural enamel for seamless results that boost your confidence.
- Minimally invasive. This service typically doesn’t require needles or numbing and doesn’t usually cause discomfort.
- Cost-effective. Our team can use this method to fix many similar concerns as veneers, but for a fraction of the price.
- Easy maintenance. Taking care of your recent enhancement is as simple as implementing a twice-daily at-home dental hygiene routine, choosing foods carefully, and visiting our office every 6 months for a routine exam and cleaning.
