Dental Bonding can protect your teeth and improve appearance with the application of a special tooth-colored resin material. Dental bonding may be recommended for several reasons:
- Repairing chipped or cracked teeth
- Fixing gaps in teeth
- Concealing discoloration
- Change the shape of teeth to match each other
- Protect a portion of the tooth's root exposed by receding gums
The Bonding Procedure
The bonding process can be completed in one visit and typically takes between 30-60 minutes to complete.
- Initially, a shade of composite resin is matched to the shade of your teeth as closely as possible.
- Then, an adhering liquid is applied to help the bonding material hold to your teeth.
- Once the resin adheres, it is smoothed and molded into the desired shape and hardened with a high-intensity light.
- Once hardened, some final touchups are made and the area is polished to naturally match the rest of your teeth.
