What is Cosmetic Dental Bonding?
Also known as cosmetic or dental bonding, the elective procedure improves the color, size, shape, and proportion of a tooth using a composite resin material. It is made from fine glass and plastic particles, which makes it biocompatible. It is customized to match your enamel to blend in with your natural teeth.
The resin can be sculpted easily into any desired shape, allowing it to resolve a variety of issues. You can achieve the results you want in as little as one appointment.
What Can Cosmetic Dental Bonding Fix?
The resin material can correct multiple imperfections. Not only does it provide cosmetic benefits but restorative advantages as well. As a result, you can improve both the health and appearance of a tooth depending on your specific needs. It can effectively resolve several issues, such as:
- Tooth decay without needing to use metal fillings.
- Dark tooth discoloration or stains.
- Shorter than average teeth.
- Chips or cracks.
- Exposed tooth roots.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Minor alignment concerns.
What Can I Expect During the Cosmetic Dental Bonding Procedure?
Almost everyone is a candidate for cosmetic bonding, but you still need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Fisher to ensure it is right for you. He evaluates your concerns and discusses the results you want to achieve to create a customized treatment plan.
It takes about 30 to 60 minutes per tooth. If you are treating several teeth, he may recommend more than one appointment. First, your tooth is cleaned, and Dr. Fisher finds the ideal shade for the resin using a color guide. He applies a weak acid to your tooth, which opens the pores in your enamel. This allows the resin to bond securely to your tooth. After the resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape, a special dental light is used to harden it. Dr. Fisher checks your bite and polishes your tooth, so you can walk out of our office with a beautiful smile.
