What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding may also be referred to as direct bonding or cosmetic bonding. Regardless of what you call it, this service involves molding a tooth-colored resin over the outward-facing surface of a tooth. The resin is the same material used to create tooth-colored fillings. Once the resin is in place, it is hardened with a special curing light and then shaped to look as natural as possible.
Dental bonding can be used to address a range of aesthetic imperfections in teeth. For example, we often use it to repair chips and cracks. It is also a suitable way to hide severe discoloration or even disguise small gaps between the teeth.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
The best way to find out if dental bonding is right for you is to schedule a consultation with our team. Generally speaking, candidates for this service:
- Have sound oral health. You should be free of untreated cavities and gum disease before you move forward with cosmetic treatment.
- Have minor imperfections in their teeth. Dental bonding is not designed to totally transform your smile. Rather, it is best for adjusting the appearance of just one or two teeth that have minor flaws.
- Want a fast and affordable way to enhance their smile. Dental bonding is relatively low-cost, and it can usually be completed in a single appointment.
