Dental Bonding Boosts Your Smile Strategy

Although Mother Nature does it best regarding teeth, a dental technique known as dental bonding is a close second! This treatment uses a special tooth-colored molding material bonded directly onto your teeth to rebuild damaged teeth or make cosmetic improvements to your smile.

What Is Dental Bonding?

The process is relatively inexpensive and so natural looking that only we will know the difference! Best of all, a tooth can be bonded during a single visit to our office without anesthetic!

Whether or not dental bonding is a good choice for you depends on the size and the part of your tooth that needs to be treated.

Dental bonding can be a great alternative to silver amalgam fillings, especially where appearance is important. You can replace old stained fillings in your front teeth with tooth-colored bonded fillings.

• We can build up a tooth that's too small and fill in spaces between teeth that are too far apart.
• Bonding is also a perfect technique for fixing irregularly shaped teeth, closing unsightly space between teeth, and repairing chips and fractures.
• Particularly stubborn stains on teeth can be masked by dental bonding. They virtually disappear!
• With proper home care, bonded teeth can look as good as new for years before they need to be touched up.

What Is The Procedure Process?

• Initial Appointment: During your initial consultation, our thorough and focused dentist will evaluate your teeth and discuss your esthetic goals.
• Preparation: The treatment begins with the preparation of the tooth surface. Our dentist will slightly roughen the surface of the tooth and apply a conditioning liquid to ensure the bonding material adheres properly.
• Application and Shaping: Next, the tooth-colored resin is applied to the prepared tooth. The dentist shapes and molds the resin to achieve the desired appearance. The material is then hardened using a special light.
• Finishing Touches: After the resin has hardened, the bonded tooth will be trimmed, shaped and polished to match the sheen of your natural teeth. This final step ensures a smooth and natural-looking finish.

The look and feel of dental bonding are so natural that the only difference you'll be able to detect is that extra sparkle in your smile. Do give Beyond Dentistry a call about dental bonding if you’ve even casually thought about changing up your smile. Let’s talk about what we could do for you!
