At Smile Builder Dental, we are dedicated to helping you achieve the confident smile you've always wanted. Cosmetic bonding is a versatile and conservative procedure that can transform your smile by correcting a variety of aesthetic issues. It is a great alternative to more extensive treatments, and it can often be completed in a single appointment.
What is Cosmetic Bonding?
Cosmetic bonding uses a tooth-colored, putty-like resin material that is applied directly to the surface of your tooth. Once applied, we sculpt and shape the material to correct imperfections. A special light is then used to harden the resin, creating a durable and long-lasting restoration. The material is then polished to match the natural luster of your teeth, making the repair virtually unnoticeable.When is Cosmetic Bonding an Option?
This versatile procedure can be used to treat a wide range of aesthetic issues, including:- Chipped or Cracked Teeth: Bonding can seamlessly repair minor chips or cracks, restoring the tooth's original shape.
- Gaps Between Teeth: It can be used to fill in small gaps or spaces between teeth, creating a more uniform and cohesive smile.
- Discolored or Stained Teeth: The tooth-colored resin can be matched to your natural tooth shade, covering severe stains that may not respond to traditional whitening.
- Worn or Shortened Teeth: Bonding can be used to lengthen teeth that have been worn down by grinding or other factors, improving their appearance and function.
- Exposed Tooth Roots: Bonding can be used to cover exposed roots due to gum recession, helping to protect them and reduce sensitivity.
