What Is Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding uses a putty-like substance called composite resin that’s made of fine acrylic and glass particles. Dr. A can apply it to your tooth, sculpting it as he goes until all of its aesthetic flaws are a thing of the past.
The major benefit of this material is that it can be custom shaded to blend in with your surrounding enamel. In fact, that’s the reason we also use it for tooth-colored fillings. Your results will look so natural that no one should be able to notice that you even got dental work done!
What Problems Can It Fix?
You may be a good candidate for dental bonding if your smile suffers from any of the following:
- Chipped or cracked enamel
- Stubborn stains
- Small gaps between teeth
- Misshapen or worn-down teeth
The Dental Bonding Procedure
The process of getting dental bonding done is quick and easy. Depending on how many of your teeth need to be addressed, it can often be completed in a single appointment. Most of the time, it will be so painless that you won’t even need local anesthetic to numb your mouth beforehand.
To begin the procedure, your cosmetic dentist in Carrollton smooths out your tooth and then uses a shade guide to figure out the ideal shade of composite resin to use. The surface of your tooth is lightly roughened to create a surface to which the resin can more easily attach. We apply the resin in layers until your tooth’s imperfections are fully corrected. After hardening the resin with an ultraviolet curing light, we polish the tooth and then you’re all done!
Benefits of Dental Bonding
Some of the numerous benefits of dental bonding include:
- Little to no enamel must be removed, making it a more conservative procedure than veneers or crowns.
- The procedure can be finished in just one visit to our office.
- Because composite resin is an inexpensive material, dental bonding is one of the most affordable cosmetic services.
- If you take good care of your bonded teeth with diligent at-home oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, your results can last up to 10 years.
