Dental Bonding Improves Your Smile Faster!
This treatment is designed to fix minor dental and cosmetic issues like chips, gaps, discoloration, and cracks. This process uses moldable composite resin as it is applied to the teeth and then hardens with a special light.
This treatment can be quickly done in-office in just one visit, and it requires no major tooth preparation like porcelain veneers need. This makes dental bonding a simple, noninvasive solution for almost any minor cosmetic problem you may have.
Dental Bonding Advantages
Just like every dental treatment, there are numerous benefits that you will experience. Some of the advantages that dental bonding brings are:
- Quick treatment: This is a simple treatment that makes it quick and easy to repair your tooth, allowing you to restore your smile after one visit. This is a great treatment for busy people because it fits easily into your schedule.
- Cost-effective: Dental bonding is a relatively affordable cosmetic dental procedure compared to other options such as veneers or crowns.
- Minimally invasive: Many cosmetic treatments require shaping or tooth reduction but dental bonding is different and requires very little if any tooth reduction making it a less invasive treatment.
- Seamless finish: The dental bonding material is color matched to your teeth for a completely natural look, leaving you feeling confident in your smile once again.
All of these benefits can be yours with dental bonding. Call our office today to see if dental bonding is right for you.
What Is the Dental Bonding Process?
Since this is a simple and quick treatment, it should only take 30–60 min for each tooth once the service starts. Here are the typical steps for this procedure that you can expect to experience:
Preparation
After discussing the process and matching the color of the resin your teeth or desired shade of white. The tooth needs to be cleaned and buffed to allow the bonding resin to attach to the tooth.
Treatment
The color-matched composite resin is then placed on the tooth and molded to the desired shape. Then the dental team will apply a special light to harden the resin making it bond to the tooth.
Shaping
Once the material hardens, the dentist will make it smooth through polishing so that you feel comfortable. This polishing will give you a smooth and stunning finish.
Post-treatment Care
After your dental bonding procedure, it’s important to take care of your bonded teeth to ensure that they last as long as possible. Here are a few tips for caring for your bonded teeth:
- Avoid hard objects: Chewing on ice or pens can damage the dental bonding so try to avoid biting on hard objects.
- Maintain regular dental visits: Regardless of your treatment you should always have routine dental appointments to protect your oral health and check on past dental treatments.
- Brush gently: When we say to floss or brush gently, it means to make sure you are not being aggressive or using excessive force while doing it. Whether you have dental bonding or not, you should not be brushing aggressively because it can cause your gums to recede or become inflamed.
