Dental bonding is an effective way to drastically improve the appearance of a patient’s smile, as well as repair some other problems, such as teeth that are misshaped or chipped. The process involved in dental bonding is fast and easy, requiring only one trip to our office. Although the procedure is simple, the results are often dramatic. Dental bonding is one of many procedures that we are pleased to offer our patients.
Important Information about Dental Bonding
There is no doubt that the results of dental bonding dramatically improve the appearance of a patient’s smile. But dental bonding may not be the right choice for everyone. The material used is susceptible to staining, just like a patient’s natural teeth. So people who have dental bonding need to avoid certain foods and drinks– such as coffee or red wine that may stain their teeth. Smoking also stains the bonding material.
Dental bonding has some similarity to porcelain veneers, but bonding material usually needs to be replaced every few years (usually between 4 and 7 years), as opposed to veneers, which last much longer. It is possible to damage bonding material, so you should avoid habits such as chewing hard candy or ice. Your dentist can provide more information and help you decide whether dental bonding is right for you.
About the Procedure
The dental bonding procedure is extremely quick and easy. Your dentist simply applies the bonding material to the surface of your natural teeth, then uses a special light to harden the material. The process is completed in a single trip to our office.
