COSMETIC TOOTH BONDING

Tooth bonding, also known as dental bonding, is a cosmetic dental procedure where a tooth-colored resin material is applied to repair or improve the appearance of a tooth. Here are six benefits of tooth bonding. It can:

Cosmetic Enhancement

Tooth bonding can improve the appearance of teeth affected by various cosmetic issues, such as chips, cracks, discoloration, or irregular shapes. The resin material can be shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth, resulting in a natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Minimally Invasive

Tooth bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that typically requires minimal removal of tooth structure compared to other cosmetic treatments such as veneers or crowns. This means that more of the natural tooth structure is preserved, promoting long-term oral health.

Quick and Convenient

Tooth bonding can often be completed in a single dental visit, making it a quick and convenient option for patients seeking immediate cosmetic improvements. Unlike some other dental procedures that require multiple appointments, tooth bonding offers almost instant results.

Versatility

Tooth bonding can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including repairing small chips or cracks, closing gaps between teeth, covering stains or discoloration, and reshaping misaligned or uneven teeth. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for cosmetic dental enhancement.

Durable and Long-lasting

Although not as durable as materials like porcelain veneers or crowns, tooth bonding can still provide long-lasting results when properly cared for. With good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups, bonded teeth can maintain their appearance and functionality for many years.

Conservative Alternative

Tooth bonding offers a conservative alternative to more extensive cosmetic treatments, such as crowns or veneers. Since it requires minimal tooth preparation and can often be performed without anesthesia, tooth bonding is a suitable option for patients looking to improve their smile without undergoing invasive procedures.

WHAT IS COSMETIC DENTAL BONDING

Cosmetic dental bonding can create a strong, balanced, and beautiful smile. This procedure is one of the easiest ways to fill small cracks, chips, gaps and other imperfections. While for major issues porcelain veneers may be necessary, cosmetic bonding can be an excellent solution for minor dental issues.

HOW DO WE DO IT?

We first apply a special cleaning agent on any affected teeth to make the surface adequate for the bonding material to adhere to. Next, your dentist applies a dental resin that is custom-made to match your natural teeth. An LED light or laser is used to harden the material, and once hardened, your dentist polishes and shapes the teeth for a natural-looking smile. The bonding process is usually completed in one office visit, is virtually painless and gives immediate results.

In just one visit, you can enjoy a a rejuvenated, radiant smile! Cosmetic bonding can often be an affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, lasting 5 to 10 years with proper care.
