The Benefits Of Dental Bonding
Dental bonding can drastically improve your smile by correcting minor imperfections. It can fill gaps between teeth, repair chipped or cracked teeth, and cover stains or discolorations. The composite resin used in bonding can be closely matched to your natural tooth color, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
Unlike other restorative treatments, dental bonding requires minimal tooth enamel removal. This means your natural tooth structure is largely preserved, promoting long-term oral health. Plus, the bonding process is generally painless and can often be completed without the need for anesthesia.
One of the major advantages of dental bonding is the speed and convenience of the treatment. Most bonding procedures can be completed in a single visit to Dr. Johnson's office, saving you time and multiple appointments.
The Dental Bonding Treatment Process
Preparation
The first step in the dental bonding process involves preparing the tooth. Dr. Johnson will select a composite resin color that closely matches your natural tooth shade. The surface of the tooth will then be roughened and a conditioning liquid applied, which helps the bonding material adhere to the tooth.
Application of Bonding Material
Next, the tooth-colored resin is applied to the tooth. Dr. Johnson will mold and smooth the resin until it's in the desired shape. The material is malleable, allowing for precise shaping and ensuring the result looks natural and blends seamlessly with your other teeth.
Curing and Polishing
Once the resin is properly shaped, it is hardened, or 'cured,' with a special light. After the material is hardened, Dr. Johnson will further trim and shape it, then polish the bonded tooth until it matches the sheen of the rest of your teeth.
