A Good Candidate For Dental Bonding

Dental Bonding Procedure

Tooth bonding procedures are an alternative to dental fillings, to alter the cosmetic appearance of your teeth or to straighten your smile.

Dentists apply a thin adhesive layer of plastic to your teeth and attach it via high intensity light curing.

Teeth surfaces are first etched slightly so the adhesive has a rough surface to stick to and the bonding is added in layers with each layer being hardened with a high-intensity light to secure it. Once the final layer of resin has been adhered to the teeth, dentists sculpt the bonding to perfect the shape and then polish the teeth to add shine.

Dental Bonding Results

Using a plastic resin, dental bonding allows dentists to hide small cracks and gaps that do not require extensive treatment. Dental bonding can be used to lighten stains that are not dark enough to require harsh tooth whitening procedures or to smooth the appearance of crooked teeth. Dentists are able to match the natural color of your teeth so the dental work is not noticeable. Dental bonding lasts for up to eleven years, leaving your teeth looking smoother and brighter without extensive dental work.
