Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is when a tooth-colored resin material is applied to the tooth and hardened with a special light, which “bonds” the material to the tooth to restore or improve a person’s smile. Cosmetic bonding may be recommended for small chips or cracks to restore the tooth to its natural appearance.
At Wayne T. Yee, DDS, the dentist will first select a shade of composite resin that will match and enhance your smile. Then they will apply the tooth-colored, putty-like resin to the tooth and carefully mold it. After the material is molded into the desired shape, the dentist will use a special light to harden the material. After the material is hardened, the dentist will trim, shape, and polish it to match the sheen of the rest of the tooth surface.
Who Can Benefit From Dental Bonding?
Dental bonding is a procedure that can improve the appearance of your smile by repairing chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth. This treatment can also close small gaps between your teeth and reshape them. Dental bonding may suit you if you have minor cosmetic issues you want to improve.
Dental bonding is a quick and affordable way to improve your smile. It is typically completed in a single visit, so you won’t have to wait long to see results. The dentist will apply the composite resin to your tooth and then shape it to match your tooth’s natural color and shape. After the material hardens, the dentist will polish it to blend in with your natural teeth.
Dental bonding can repair chips, cracks, and other imperfections in your teeth. It can also be used to close spaces between your teeth and improve the shape of your teeth. If you have stained teeth, dental bonding can help whiten them by covering them up with a composite material that matches your natural tooth color.
Dental bonding is a safe and effective way to improve your smile. It is a minimally invasive procedure, so you won’t have to worry about downtime afterward. After the process, you can eat, drink, and brush your teeth normally.
