Are you someone who has become interested in cosmetic dentistry because there is a particular aspect of your smile that couldn’t cause you more frustration? For patients dealing with an issue that includes the loss of a very small amount of tissue (or tissue that simply has never been there in the first place), dental bonding may offer a suitable improvement. If you are not yet familiar with this option, we suggest you get to know the basics. You might find it’s just what you have been hoping to discover to improve your grin.
Bonding Steps
To begin, let’s go ahead and explain to you just how dental bonding works to improve your smile. Keep in mind that it’s a simple system that can revive a tired or slightly damaged smile or improve one little problem that has been driving you crazy. Bonding works as follows:
- We customize the shade of the composite we use during bonding (it’s a synthetic acrylic-resin material).
- We apply the composite where you require improvement. It is something we can shape to the desired effect.
- We set the artificial tissue, so it hardens. We then create a natural shine by gently buffing and polishing the entire area.
Who It Helps
Dental bonding helps anyone dealing with esthetic problems including a lack of adequate dental tissue. For instance, you might come to us desiring bonding if you accidentally chip a tooth because you would like your tooth to look complete again. Or, you might want to close a gap between two teeth. You might even want that tooth of yours that is slightly shorter than the rest to match the others in length, which we can accomplish with bonding. If you need more tissue for a better looking smile, bonding is likely the way to go.
