What Is Dental Bonding?
Although veneers can be an effective way to address one or several aesthetic imperfections, our team must thin your enamel for them to fit correctly, which is irreversible. Dental bonding addresses many similar aesthetic concerns but is often considered a more cost-effective, less invasive solution.
This service involves applying color-matched, putty-like composite resin directly to your enamel to mend or mask imperfections. Then, it’s hardened in place through exposure to an ultraviolet curing light so that it bonds with the protective outer layer. This can be a convenient way to address one or more problems, such as chips, cracks, stubborn stains, mild gaps, and somewhat stunted or worn-down teeth.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Bonding?
This treatment can be a versatile way to enhance your appearance and improve your self-esteem, but that doesn’t mean it’s the best way to meet everyone’s unique needs.
For example, it requires that patients have enough healthy enamel for the material to bond to, so you might not be an ideal candidate if you have developed severe cavities or periodontal disease. You must schedule a consultation before proceeding so that our team can discuss your goals and concerns, then examine your mouth to determine whether this is the best treatment option for you.
The Benefits of Dental Bonding
There are several advantages to upgrading your grin with dental bonding, including:
- Convenience. This service can often be completed in a single, hour-long appointment so you don’t have to take as much time out of your busy schedule.
- Versatility. We can address one or multiple aesthetic issues with a single treatment.
- Customizable materials. We take the time to ensure that the material matches the shade of your enamel for seamless results.
- Lasting results. It often lasts 5 to 15+ years with proper care.
- Easy maintenance. Preserving the outcome doesn’t usually require special care instructions; you can brush and floss as usual.
