Repair Your Smile with Dental Bonding
Dental bonding offers a versatile and affordable way to restore teeth that are chipped, cracked, discolored, or slightly misaligned. This popular cosmetic procedure involves applying a tooth-colored resin directly to the affected area. Our skilled team then carefully shapes, hardens, and polishes this resin to achieve a seamless, natural-looking result that blends beautifully with your existing teeth. It's a remarkably quick and effective method to significantly enhance your smile and improve the overall appearance of your teeth, often completed in just a single visit.
How Does Dental Bonding Work?
To prepare your tooth for dental bonding, we first gently etch the surface and apply a bonding agent. Once this liquid sets, our team carefully applies the tooth-colored resin and sculpts it into the ideal shape. After the resin hardens, we precisely trim, smooth, and polish it to create a seamless, natural-looking finish that blends with your existing teeth.
Considerations for Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is typically completed in just one office visit and can dramatically enhance a tooth's appearance. While highly effective and convenient, it's important to know that the composite resin used isn't as durable as natural tooth enamel. This means it may be more prone to staining, chipping, or breaking over time. On average, dental bonding can last between three to five years before it might require touch-ups or replacement.
