What is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding involves hiding dental imperfections from view with composite resin. This material can be shaded in order to match the color of your enamel. During the dental bonding process, the resin is applied to the teeth and carefully sculpted so that it can blend in seamlessly with its surroundings. Then it is hardened in place with a curing light.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
You might benefit from dental bonding if you’re bothered by any of the following cosmetic issues:
- Teeth that are slightly chipped or cracked.
- Stains on your enamel that can’t be removed with professional teeth whitening.
- Minor gaps between the teeth.
- Teeth that are slightly misshapen or crooked.
Remember, dental bonding works best for making small improvements to your teeth. If you’re thinking of dramatically transforming your smile, you may want to consider other forms of cosmetic dentistry.
Note that before we can move forward with dental bonding, we’ll have to examine your mouth to make sure that you’re in good oral health overall. If we find signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues, we’ll need to take steps to address them prior to beginning your cosmetic dental treatment.
