What is Dental Bonding?
When a small gap exists between two visible teeth or a small chip seems to stand out when you smile, you can address the problem with the help of dental bonding. This cosmetic dental treatment uses composite resin – the same material used for tooth-colored fillings – to conceal imperfections and revitalize smiles.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
It might seem as if anyone can be a candidate for dental bonding. While most individuals are likely to be considered eligible right away, others might require additional treatments to address existing tooth decay or gum disease. Treating these problems first is the most effective way to ensure that your cosmetic results last as long as possible.
When meeting with your TrueCare Dentistry dentist, you can expect to go over your oral and overall health before undergoing an examination. If any of these issues are discovered, you may find that dental bonding is right for you:
- Chips
- Cracks
- Stains
- Discoloration
- Minimally fractured teeth
- Irregularly shaped teeth
- Minor gaps
The Dental Bonding Process
To receive dental bonding, you will meet with a member of our dental team who will go over the process with you before getting started.
Using a shade guide to match the color of the resin to your existing tooth shade, we will make sure it is the correct color before application. Using a specialized dental instrument, we will apply the resin directly to your tooth enamel, covering the imperfection before shaping it in place.
This will ensure that the flaw cannot be seen and that the resin lays flat against the tooth. A curing light is then used to harden the resin in place so that it blends in with your smile.
The Benefits of Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is a popular cosmetic treatment option for many reasons. It:
- Takes only one hour to complete, so it is a fast form of treatment that doesn’t require hours in the dentist’s chair or multiple visits.
- Can last several years before needing to be replaced or touched up.
- Effectively conceals all types of minor imperfections.
- Is highly affordable in comparison to other more invasive cosmetic solutions.
